I mean when you hear the term 'big names' do you really think they aint gonna get in?

As someone who voted no for Pink Floyd, Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys and Radiohead's entry, Im going to say no, I dont think the "Big Names" are certain shoe ins. I mean Christ Led Zeppelin are not in but Public Enemy are
It is early days with it and I've not managed to get a nomination put up yet myself, but Im sure I wont be alone in nominating an act who are obscure to many in the outside world and yet championed on this place, or even perhaps not thought of as anything at all yet.
The list is below just incase you've not seen it, but I dont think of King Crimson, Public Enemy or Tom Waits as massive names, but I do think they fit in with the opening lines explaining what this process is all about.
