She was.
Last year, the year before that, and 2018. An induction is going to happen either this year, or not at all... though there's also the early influence/musical excellence categories, where the nominating committee can just decide to induct her even though she doesn't win the ballot votes. But her incredible success last year is a good predictor of getting in via the normal route, I think.
They've really long moved past inducting 60s acts now. Even the Spinners are much more retro than any other artist on the list. Unless a whole new TikTok subgenre suddenly spawns in the wake of the Monkees' influence (Nesmithcore, perhaps?) it's never happening. I personally don't have a problem with any of the acts nominated getting in, but if they induct the White Stripes it'd be literally two months after they first become eligible, which seems a
little too early.
Stoked to see Missy Elliot on there, however. I'd say her chances are pretty solid, for a first-time nominee.
