College Rock and the Rock Hall

You've got R.E.M. and then you've got no one else. Alternative/Indie/College Rock of the 80's is definitely a glaring missing piece of the Rock Hall. With today's Indie scene more alive than any other decade other than the 80's, the influence the original bands had can't be denied.
Among the names that need serious consideration, these spring to mind:

Smiths
Cure
Husker Du
Sonic Youth
New Order/Joy Division
Pixies
Jesus and Mary Chain

Depeche Mode
Replacements

Pretty sure I'm missing someone. And I guess this year's nomination of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is supposed to be a nod to this decade, but there were bands before them, and better ones at that.

None of these have ever been nominated.
