@Listener001, here are my first and second choices.

Likeliest Front‑Runner: Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill checks every box the Hall tends to prioritize in recent years:

Cultural impact — The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is universally regarded as one of the most important albums of the last 30 years.
Critical consensus — She’s a fixture on “greatest albums” and “most influential artists” lists.
Genre representation — The Hall has been steadily increasing hip‑hop and R&B inductees, and Hill is a glaring omission.
Narrative momentum — First‑time nominee, long overdue, and widely respected across genres.

This combination makes her the most broadly supported candidate across voters, critics, and fans.

My second choice is Phil Collins.

Massive commercial success and decades of cultural presence.
Already inducted with Genesis, but the Hall often rewards major solo careers separately (e.g., Peter Gabriel).
Broad demographic appeal among voters.

Well, there's my two cents worth...

Take care, and GOD bless.
