Faces/Small Faces will probably get in. They are an act like the “Yardbirds” that looks very important & influential when viewed in the rearview mirror. That’s the kind of act that gets in.

The Spinners & Donna Summer will probably get the nod, though I don’t have much love for Disco & pure R&B acts.

War? Really? Which version? The one with Eric Burton?

I can see an argument for Joan Jett.

Agreed about Joan Jett.

She was a pioneer in the 1970s and influential with The Runaways.

She then gave the music industry the ‘middle finger’ when she created her own record label in 1980 after she was rejected multiple times by the big Hollywood labels — and the rest is history!
