4. Janet Jackson (Should win/Will win)
Janet Jackson has been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame three times—in 2016, 2017 and now—and it seems like this could finally be her year. She’s stacked at #6 on the fan vote, just behind The Cure, and she also has a popular recent release—this year’s collaborative single with Daddy Yankee, “Made For Now”—to give her some sway. Jackson is a pop star with more winning tracks than many of the guitar-rock bands on this list: She has produced 10 no. 1 hits and 27 Top 10 hits throughout her career. Perhaps even more impressive is that those hits span three decades: “What Have You Done For Me Lately” peaked at #4 in 1986, but Jackson has secured spots on the Top 40 charts throughout the ’90s and ’00s, too. She’s also only one of two women on this list, joined by Stevie Nicks, so hopefully they’ll both make it this year. In terms of influence, record sales and pure, excellent output, few other nominees challenge Janet Jackson.
