Last month, Madonna, John Mellencamp, Leonard Cohen (don't know one song), the Ventures and the Dave Clark Five were chosen as the next inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I had just heard this news, and over at Pop Candy (which is an awesome blog), people were saying how it would've been great if the Beastie Boys and Madonna had entered the Hall in the same year. I agreed, and then as I do ever year, I try to think of bands that are being overlooked.
Well, this year I found FutureRockHall.com, which lists just about every band and performer that hasn't been selected, and the year they were first eligible. The list (like the baseball list) is pretty amazing...Willie Nelson, the Moodie Blues, Neil Diamond, Genesis, Chicago, Iggy Pop & the Stooges, Carly Simon, KISS, The Cars, Joan Jett, B-52's, Rickie Lee Jones, Donna Summer, etc, etc, etc.
So once again, who do you think should be in? With others in comments, please.

The Replacements need to be in there. Badly.
Leonard Cohen is an unusual, but fine choice. I'm sure you've heard "First I'll Take Manhattan," as it's been used in many movies.
