DMB with Phish doing Crash…
I’m with everyone here. They will for sure get in and they should be first ballot, but they won’t be.
I kinda don’t care to be honest…I guess I should…but the Rock and Roll HOF doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Hopefully after Yes. (“Beyond and Before”) 
Some other groups with debut LP’s released in 1989:
Skid Row
Extreme
Green Day (if they count EP’s as the debut release)
The Stone Roses
Nirvana
De La Soul
Nine Inch Nails
The Offspring
Mr. Big
Fugazi
Lenny Kravitz
More than a few 1st balloters there…
i just want everybody to know that i just looked it up and Mike Bloomfield has NOT been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
David Byrne would induct Phish.
I am with Sam on this one…I think David Byrne would do it…THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE! Then a C & P ->2001 throwdown.
Rush was inducted into the Canadien R & R HoF (of course), but I am anxiously awaiting the true induction. 
burn the heretic who dare say “nay”!
With the recent kangfirmation that phish will open the cerimonies tonight (http://www.fuse.tv)…does that sway anyone who was a ‘yes, but not their first year’ to a ‘first year’?
Or, is Phish doing this tonight just becuase Peter isn’t gonna be there, and Phil is apparently healing from a back injury and unable to play?
I say they win either way. If they make it then alot of open mouths get shut. If not they wear it as a badge of honor!
TIVO this for sure!
More proof that they’re running out of artists…they’re putting the Hollies in! Really? The Hollies deserve it more than Rush and the Moody Blues? They’re like a two-hit wonder. It’s getting ugly…
