The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland has listed the nominees for this year’s HOF class and it includes a couple of WAPL favorites.
Foo Fighters and Iron Maiden lead the list of this year’s nominees who represent a slew of musical genres and styles. Female artists are well-represented this year as the list also includes:
Rage Against the Machine
Todd Rundgren
The New York Dolls
Devo
Kate Bush
The Go-Go’s
Tina Turner
Chaka Khan
Carole King
Dionne Warwick
Mary J. Blige
LL Cool J
Jay-Z
Fela Kuti
Carole King, Kate Bush, Devo and The Go-Go’s were also WAPL artists during the late 70s and 80s.
In recent years, fan voting has been implemented as part of the induction process and is currently live on the Hall of Fame’s website, although the fan vote’s influence provides a small fraction of the final decision on who gets in. Voting will continue until April 30th with the final list of inductees announced shortly thereafter.
