Who Will Make The Cut???
Filed under: Music Minute > Awardz
Run-D.M.C., Metallica, and the Stooges are among the 9 nominees up for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In order to receive a nomination an act must have released its first single 25 years prior. This is the first year that Run-D.M.C. qualifies and if they get accepted, they will be only the second rap act ever to be inducted. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five was the first rap group to receive a place in the Hall in 2007.
The nominees also include guitarist Jeff Beck, singer Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, Bobby Womack, and disco R&B group Chic. With Chic, the Stooges, and Jackson previously nominated, the group represents a large number of newcomers and a wide range of genres.
However, notably absent from the ballot were Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bon Jovi, both of which just became eligible.
How could you diss Bon Jovi???!!!!!!!
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has met with some controversy in the 25 years since the Foundation came into existence, mostly for its nomination process as some of the members of the nomination committee aren't musicians. Recently there has been some question over the smaller pool of nominees from 14 or 15 to 9, limiting voters' options.
The five most voted nominees will be announced in January with the induction following in April.
In 2009 the induction ceremony will be returning to its home of Cleveland, Ohio after a ten year hiatus in New York.
Who would U vote for?

i sing a mean happy birthday….i should get inducted!
muther fuckin METALLICA gets my vote! i cant beleive Stevie Ray Vaughn isnt already in it. that man is a legend and should definatly be nominated. but seriously Bon Jovi??? metallica will eat bon jovi in their chili if they could. and who the fuck is Chic? lame
Pat Benatar!!!!
Metallica!
Wanda Jackson and The Stooges
What a shame that a great musician such as Stevie Ray Vaughan didn't make the cut - no disrespect to the other artists but c'mon!!
METALLIFUCKINCA!!!!!!!!! They will get it no doubt. They are fucking icons!!! Run DMC sux ass and so does chic I mean they have like 1 or 2 hites maybe metallica has how many? Yeah Bon Jovi has had lots of hits too he should of been nominated too
LARS AND JAMES SUCK EACH OTHER OFF. AND I ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADED THE NEW METALICA ALBUM. IT SUCKS!!!! LARS IS A FAG
These guys should be banned for whinning, bitching, and changing EVERYTHING! FUCK Metalica!
CHEAP TRICK and ALICE COOPER are both way over due.
dooooood
ALICE COOPER!
Seriously I see so many modern day cooper clones, he paved roads!
METALLICA, DAWWWWWWWWWG!!!! WHERE DO I VOTE?
Stevie Ray Vaughn was one of the best blues guitarists, ever.
Bon Jovi FUCKIN SUCKS BALLS! How has the band dire straits or roxy music not have been nominated?
Metallica all the way!!!!!!!!!!!
Stevie Ray Vaughan - hands down. He had more soul and skill than all of these chumps.
Bon Jovi? How could they dis Stevie Ray!?!?! he should have been inducted before his year anyway…he is a Guitar God.
The R&R Hall of Fame is a damn joke!
Mario Pendeja ACTUALLY thinks the movie W. is going to be bad! He couldn't be more wrong, it looks like it's gonna rank up there with There Will Be Blood and The Darjeeling Limited. Let's boycott this loser.
Search YouTube: Giuliani Responds to Sarah Palin Watching Tina Fey on SNL and then go sample on iTunes Miniature Tigers - Tell It to the Volcano, it's one of the best albums of the year and the album cover is my avatar.
As much as you guys think Mario reads your comments, he DOESN'T! He blogs all day and then goes to bed. He's a fucking vampire!
THE STOOGES!!!!!!!!!!!!! "RAW POWER" IS AN AMAZING ALBUM!
Jeff Beck belongs.
Rap is NOT rock-and-roll! Why is Run-DMC even being considered??
METALLICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For Sure METALLICA!!!!!!
mario, before you know it, you're gonna be old too, ya fat flamin fuck!!
oh and your stupid, ugly dog will be dead also.
I thought metallica was already in the hall of fame…
And how dare they leave Stevie Ray Vaughan off the ballot!
'Tallica and the stooges are pretty fuckin legendary. Screw bon jovi. they shouldnt get inducted yet. Not even KISS got inducted yet. And i think thats wrong
OLD!?!?!? You're over 30 Perez..You're old!!! Metallica will ALWAYS be better then you HANDS DOWN!!!! I would so vote for them and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan SHOULD have gotten a nom - he was one of the most amazing guitarists EVER!!! There is so much amazing music …..
METALLICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
metallica obviously!
how can you leave out SRV?
definitely metallica no doubt about it
metallica should be inducted with a * that stands for pre load days…stevie ray should get his own hall, and bon jovi should dig a hole and pull the dirt on top of himself
The Stooges and Jeff Beck are both essential !
All of them. Sooner or later all groups are going to be in the RRHOF.
Metallica!!…amazing band, amazing creativity, amazing longevity…living legends…
METALLICA!!!!
Thank god there are SOME people smart enough to say Wanda Jackson (and The Stooges). Do you know who Wanda Jackson IS? She's been making music for DECADES and is still going at it in her 70's! She toured with Elvis Presley for chrissakes! She is THE go-to female rockabilly singer.
Though someone did make a good point about KISS not being inducted yet…and that's just lame. They ARE rock n roll.
Metallica all the way baby!! Run DMC?? It's the ROLL AND ROLL hall of fame, not the fucking rap hall of fame. Just because you cover Aerosmith doesn't mean you're rock and roll. Never even heard of the Stooges. Metallica deserves it.
It's a shame that Wanda Jackson and the Stooges won't get voted in because all of the musically ignorant people that will be casting(rather, wasting) their votes for Metallica.
Re: frostedcupcakes – whats a shame is the fact youre a fucking retard. why would we "waste" our vote on someone we didnt care for or listen to. of course were gonna vote for who WE feel deserves it. and i like the stooges! shit
Ugh, Bon Jovi! How could you leave out Bon Jovi?! Are they morons?!
I think Weird Al should be in the Rock Hall. He is eligible. And who doesn't know who Weird Al is?
Metallica should get inducted out of those choices no doubt!
RUN DMC!!!!
