Abba
Bryan Adams
Jeff Beck
Pat Benatar
Black Sabbath
Chicago
Dick Dale
Def Leppard
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
Iron Maiden
Joan Jett
Lynyrd Skynyrd
John Mellencamp
Steve Miller Band
the Pretenders
Simple Minds
Twisted Sister
U2
Van Halen
My guesses on who will be inducted are Black Sabbath, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Lynard Skynard (ugh), John Mellencamp, The Pretenders, U2 and Van Halen.
Anyone else have thoughts?

Are there other criteria too, like who pays for their display or something? I would guess your picks are about right. Maybe not Sabbath and more likely not Van Halen (not long enough--Sammy Hagar et al. don't count). I could see Chicago (not that I agree), and ABBA, because they have a musical, too.
