Nothing drives sports radio conversation like a good Hall of Fame debate. And of course, there’s a big one being debated this week. That’s right, last week, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced their nominees for the Class of 2025.
Naturally, we invited our friend Spiro Morekas, the longtime play-by-play voice of the Towson University Tigers, and music aficionado to join us in-studio and break down the ballot as we did the last two years in both 2023 and 2024.
We debated each nominee and assigned them into one of three categories: either a strong candidate, a mild candidate, or someone who doesn’t belong. And ranked how strongly we feel about each nominee in their respective category.
Glenn’s Ballot
Strong: 1. Mariah Carey, 2. Outkast, 3. Soundgarden, 4. Oasis, 5. Billy Idol, 6. The White Stripes
Mild: 1. The Black Crowes, 2. Chubby Checker, 3. Cyndi Lauper, 4. Joe Cocker, 5. Phish
No: Bad Company, Joy Division/New Order
Unqualified to give answer: Maná
*Glenn retroactively wants to bump the Black Crowes into his strong category, admitting he was wrong.
