2018 edition….
The Cure!
Radiohead (who apparently got nom'ed last year, but didn't want it..but now they do?)
Janet Jackson
Stevie Nicks (silly as she is already in for FM?)
Roxy Music (Eno included)
Def Leppard (While I was a huge fan as a tween… but these guys kinda suck)
the Zombies

and Kraftwerk… a five-time nominee, still didn't make the cut
