rock and roll hall of fame

[wcrane]

i recently watched the 2005 hall of fame ceremony.among those inducted were the pretenders and u.2.this made me realize that I'M GETTING OLD.i believe the criteria to be on the ballot among other things is that your first album must be 25 years old.so my question is which early 80's groups or artists (weather you liked them or not )do you think will end up in the hof?also which older bands should be in that are not? 80's bands i say are duran,duran depeche mode the cure and madonna. older bands rush blue oyster cult sweet.
