Impossible to tell, but I'd guess Al Grossman and Estelle Axton for Ahmet Ertegun; Patsy Cline, the Clovers, and Celia Cruz for Influence; MC5, Carol Kaye, and Diana Ross for Musical Excellence. They are going to have to find a way to make up for a unusually white and male ballot this year.

Cyndi Lauper, Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Outkast, Soundgarden, White Stripes, Mariah Carey, Billy Idol

Turtledove??

I'm very tentative about this, but...

1. Outkast
2. Mariah Carey
3. Cyndi Lauper
4. Bad Company
5. Joe Cocker
6. Billy Idol

If 7, add The White Stripes, if 8, add Soundgarden.
