I'll put money down now that the Beastie Boys and Madonna make it. The Rock Hall foundation is in love with any act that has a New York connection (Beasties) and who has been a "friend" of the RRHOF in the past (Madonna).

As a young Walalce, did someone rape you in the ear at some point? [/b]
I think "raped" is a little strong but I WAS inappropriately touched a couple days ago by that new Springsteen single "(This is polluting the) Radio (and my career is going) Nowhere.)

Actually, I think it's more like very reluctantly having sex with a partner you've lost that loving feeling for. You just lay there going through the minimal amount of motions. Kind of like an almost dead fish out of water. Either way, once you are done, you still feel filthy.
 
 Regarding Pink Floyd and The Beatles, you're on your own, buddy.

No Black Sabbath? They were inducted in 2006.
