Below is our fantasy booking for who should induct each member of the 2020 Rock Hall class: Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Notorious B.I.G., T.Rex, Whitney Houston and The Doobie Brothers. Also included are the songs each act should perform, and in the case of many of this year's inductees, who should before in tribute to them. Enjoy!
