Def Leppard
When it comes to 80s rock bands, Def Leppard were certainly among the pioneers for the time. Especially in the MTV area, their hard rock videos were regularly making rotation on the network. Among their biggest hits were "Animal," "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Love Bites." After 11 studio albums, 60 singles, and multiple tours it won't be surprising to see this group gain entry to the Hall.

Janet Jackson
While some may not classify Miss Jackson as rock, her contributions to music are undeniable. Starting with 1986's "Control" and spanning through 2015's "Unbreakable," Janet had seven No. 1 albums during her multiple releases. She also was a chart topper with hits "When I Think of You" and "Miss You Much" in a time when radio play dictated what was popular rather than streaming.
As an icon identifiable on a first-name basis, @JanetJackson and her artistry have left a permanent impression on the music world. Read the full #RockHall2019 Nominee bio and cast your vote in the @KlipschAudio Fan Vote: https://t.co/oZh6oyNPrl #RockTheFanVote2019 pic.twitter.com/BVNhcUaYfp
