Nominees for Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame

**Note: I was astounded that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are even eligible.  But then again, I was only three 25 years ago, so I have an excuse.  They get my vote!**

ABBA, Stooges, Kiss, Chili Peppers Nominated for Rock Hall of Fame


Also LL Cool J, Jimmy Cliff, Genesis ABBA, Stooges, Kiss, Chili Peppers Nominated for Rock Hall of Fame

Can you believe ABBA isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet? How about the Stooges? Genesis? Kiss?

All of those artists-- and eight more-- will have the chance to join the institution's ranks in 2010. The Rock Hall's official site has announced next year's nominees. And they are...

ABBA
The Chantels
Jimmy Cliff
Genesis
The Hollies
KISS
LL Cool J
Darlene Love
Laura Nyro
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Stooges
Donna Summer

Some sort of KISS/LL Cool J/Stooges mashup is messing with my brain right now.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is usually good for some drunken speeches, hilarious all-star jams, and watching estranged band members stand next to each other while gritting their teeth. Next year's 25th annual shindig goes down on March 15, 2010 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

To be considered for the hall, artists must have released their first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. Red Hot Chili Peppers are old.

Another space to fill. Instead of filling in empty spaces with facts about ourselves, maybe we should be out there reaching someone. But maybe that's just me.
