Duran Duran - The general consensus with those who follow the Rock Hall closely is that after The Cure and Depeche Mode were inducted, Duran Duran is next in line.

Morrisette's HBO doc might be enough to get her on the ballot.

Alanis Morrisette - One thing that's become clear in recent years is that the Nominating Committee are heavily influenced by documentaries (just last year, the Go-Go's, Tina Turner, and Clarence Avant all benefited from the films about their careers).

The Rock Hall needs to recognize more artists in this category.

Big Star - There are some artists like Big Star who would do extremely well with a segment of the voting committee, but don't have the wider popularity and name recognition to be inducted.

(As we've written about many times, it's a terrible idea to nominate artists on the Performer ballot just to induct them in a different category anyway, but that's the way the Rock Hall prefers to do it.)

Big Mama Thornton - Two years ago, Nominating Committee member Alan Light said, 'we put Sister Rosetta Tharpe on the ballot really to force the hand of the Early Influencers committee to say, this is somebody that needs to be in.' Look for a similar approach to happen here with Thornton, who inexplicably has never been on the ballot.

Eminem - It's shaping up to be a big February for Eminem with an almost certain Rock Hall nomination and a Super Bowl halftime performance.
