The nominations for this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees have been announced, with veteran rockers KISS and the Queen of Disco Donna Summer both snaring nominations. Along with classic artists such as the Hollies, the Stooges, ABBA, and Genesis, two more recent artists have both been nominated as well. The Red Hot Chili Peppers and LL Cool J are both contenders to be inducted this year!
To be eligible, an artist or band had to have released their first album 25 years ago; this is RHCP and LL Cool J's first year of eligibility and they both were able to get nominated!
Congratulations to them, as well as everyone else who was nominated!
The dozen nominees will be cut down to 5 by January after voting has been complete, so we'll have to wait until then to see who will actually be inducted.
Here are the 12 artists contending:
Red Hot Chili Peppers, LL Cool J, ABBA, Genesis, KISS, Donna Summer, The Stooges, The Hollies, The Chantels, Jimmy Cliff, Darlene Love, and Laura Nyro.
