Nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have been announced. They are:
- Madonna
- Beastie Boys
- 60s “British Invasion” group, the Dave Clark Five
- Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen
- South Bronx DJ Afrika Bambaataa
- American rock singer-songwriter John Mellencamp
- the Ventures (Hawaii Five-0, Wipe Out)
- “Queen of Disco” Donna Summer
- 70s American disco/funk band Chic
Only 5 of these nominees will actually be inducted. I’m pretty sure Madonna will make the cut – I mean, c’mon – it’s Madonna. But she is a first time nominee (it’s the first time she’s been eligible) so she may get knocked out of the running by Mellencamp, the Dave Clark Five and Chic, who have all been nominated in the past.
But I think it would be a shame and insult if Leonard Cohen didn’t make it. His songwriting is no doubt the best in Canada and definitely one of the best in the world. Show us some Canadian love!
The annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held on March 10, 2008.
Interesting Fact: In 2006, the Sex Pistols were still inducted, even though they had originally declined. Below is quite the opinionated letter they wrote to the Hall of Fame, sharing their disgust with the institution.
Can you make sense of this?
