2009 Nominees for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced

[Gerk]

I believe 5 of the 9 will be inducted

Not the most memorable of classes


The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2009 nominees:
_Jeff Beck — Beck, one of the most influential rock guitarists, formed the first edition of the Jeff Beck Group in 1968. Inducted into the hall of fame in 1992 as a member of the Yardbirds.
_Chic — Songwriter-producers Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards rescued disco in 1977 with a combination of groove, soul and studio smarts. Chart toppers included "Le Freak."
_Wanda Jackson — The "First Lady of Rock and Roll" played her first package tour at 18 with Elvis Presley in 1955. Performed with Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash.
_Little Anthony and the Imperials — They scored hits with "Tears on My Pillow" and "Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop" starting in the late '50s and had one of the most energetic stage shows around.
_Metallica — Metallica rose from the Los Angeles music underground in the early '80s to become one of the most successful and acclaimed heavy metal bands of their era.
_Run-D.M.C. — Run-D.M.C. took hip-hop from the streets of New York to the national stage in the 1980s. Run-D.M.C. and the late Jam Master Jay set the template for modern hip-hop.
_Stooges — Iggy Pop and company burst out of Ann Arbor, Mich., in the late '60s and were immediately embraced in New York, London and Los Angeles for the nuclear-powered simplicity of their music.
_War — War debuted with the Afro-Latin R&B groove "Spill the Wine" in 1969 and followed with a string of hits featuring a social message grounded by their breezy Southern California vibe.
_Bobby Womack — Womack has a career that spans 55 years back to sibling group the Womack Brothers. A triple-threat as solo artist, landmark session guitarist and writer of Aretha Franklin's "Chain Of Fools" among others.

I'm astounded that Jeff Beck is not already in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. Wow.

G_d bless rev. Saying what alot of people are probably thinking.

If there's a spot for Madonna in the "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame, probably ok to have a spot for Run DMC

I think the term Rock and Roll is used VERY loosely here
