On that note, my picks for the five inductees are:

Madonna -- a singular career that transcends the "Is it rock?" debate.

Beastie Boys -- It's wrong to have the Beasties go in before Run-DMC, but Run-DMC isn't on the ballot. No moss has gathered on "Paul's Boutique" or "Check Your Head."

Mellencamp -- String of "American Fool," "Uh-Huh," "Scarecrow" and "The Lonesome Jubilee" says more than enough. Bonus points for working harder at his craft today than almost anybody else from his generation.

Chic -- Too late for Bernard Edwards to bask in the glow, but Nile Rodgers deserves recognition for their impeccable grooves.

Leonard Cohen -- A high-brow entry that everybody should know.
