Run-D.M.C., Metallica nominated for Rock Hall

But shockingly no Bon Jovi! lol

Run-D.M.C., Metallica nominated for Rock Hall

By JOE MILICIA, Associated Press Writer 6 minutes ago

CLEVELAND - Run-D.M.C. could "Walk This Way" into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The 1980s rap act, along with Metallica and the Stooges are among the nine nominees for next year's hall of fame class, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation announced Monday.

The other nominees are guitarist Jeff Beck, singer Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, Bobby Womack, and disco and R&B group Chic, the only nominee back from last year's ballot.


The five leading vote-getters will be announced in January and inducted April 4, 2009, in Cleveland.

The ceremony typically has been held in New York but is returning to Cleveland after more than a decade-long absence. Tickets will be made available to the public for the first time.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five opened the door for rap at the Rock Hall as the first hip-hop act to be inducted in 2007. Now, Run-D.M.C., nominated in the first year of its eligibility, has the chance to follow on the strength of rock and rap blends such as the 1986 cover of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and classics like "It's Tricky" and "My Adidas."

Metallica jumped on the heavy metal wave of the '80s and 25 years later is still selling out arenas. This month the group released "Death Magnetic," which marks a return to its early speed metal days.

The Stooges, recently given props in the film "Juno," get another shot after last appearing on the ballot two years ago.

Left off the ballot were Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bon Jovi. Both had been eligible for the first time. To be nominated an act must have released its first single or album 25 years prior.

More than 500 musicians, industry professionals and journalists vote on the inductions.

----
Who I think will get in automatically:
Run-D.M.C.
Metallica
The Stooges
Bobby Womack/Little Anthony & the Imperials (slash because you know they'll choose just one R&B act, lol!)
War

We know Run-D.M.C. are going to get in! Metallica? YOU BET! The Stooges (should've been inducted in 1992 or something), Bobby and Little Anthony should've definitely been considered years before.

But you know it's nice they're still willing to induct the artists of the '50s, '60s and '70s. That gives us old-school-minded folks some hope, lol.

RUN-DMC definitely deserve to be inducted.Chic does too,but I don't think we're gonna see too many disco acts getting in.

Me either, I feel War may get in before Chic.

And Bobby will get in before Little Anthony & the Imperials... then again, I wouldn't be surprised if both of them get inducted. I never think those two would EVER get recognized.

Oh they got that shit locked up! They're GOING IN. No worries about that shit. nod

Metallica is a shoo-in too. I think the Stooges are in too.

Bobby Womack could be in as well as Jeff Beck.

That leaves Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony & the Imperials, War, and for the sixth time Chic behind.

War definitely needs to go but it will be interesting if this becomes a reunion of original members Howard Scott Lee Oskar BB Dickerson & Harold Brown with Lonnie JOrdan. RIP to Papa Dee Allen and Charles Miller.

That'll be interesting...

Which of the nominees beside WAR you think are gonna get in?

For some reason I just don't see CHIC ever getting in. Ever.

Ha... nice list. I think you'll be right. But it could go down between Bobby Womack & Anthony Gourdine. I just have that feeling... lol

That's why I have a feeling the Imperials WON'T get in but Bobby would. It's unfair but that's how I see it but I'd like to see the both of them in tho. smile

I'm not a fan of either Bon Jovi or Stevie Ray Vaughn, but I am shocked that neither of them is on the ballot.

Everyone but Metallica.
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

I should have clarified. I was using your list of shoo ins. But seriously, Metallica was popular, but what did they bring to music except the attitude of whiny bitches?

Oh OK, I gotcha. I don't know, I mean they did a lot to the so-called "thrash metal" that emerged in the eighties. I would think they'd be shoo-ins because you know we get complaints about "why don't you put more metal acts in?" LOL
