Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Nominee Predictions

September 19, 2012

Stevie Ray Vaughn It’s that time of year again! At the end of this month the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will announce the list of 2013 nominees and I can’t wait to find out who they choose.

Artists are eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first recording. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation is in charge of coming up with the official list of candidates that the Nominating Committee considers each year.

Here is a list of some of the most interesting and notable candidates who are eligible for the first time this year:

DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince – Fun for sure but are they really rock & roll?
George Michael
Goo Goo Dolls – Has it really been 25 years?
Henry Rollins
Jane’s Addiction – Yes! So good live!
N.W.A – I would love to hear Dr. Dre and Ice Cube’s acceptance speeches!
Patsy Cline
Public Enemy – And I would also love to hear what Chuck D and Flavor Flav say on stage!
Sinead O’Connor

You’re not going to believe this list of artists who have been previously nominated but have never made it on the ballot:

Cheap Trick
Deep Purple – Who doesn’t recognize the first few riffs of “Smoke on the Water”?
Donna Summer
Heart
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts – She has a song called “I Love Rock & Roll” for crying out loud!!!
KISS – Seriously? Have you seen these guys live?!
Pat Benatar
Stevie Ray Vaughan – Are you kidding me with this one??? He’s one of the greatest rock & roll guitarists of all time!!!
The Guess Who
War
Willie Nelson – A little more country than rock & roll but come on! This guy is a legend.

Who do you think will be nominated this year? Who do you think should be nominated?

    DJ Jazzy Jeff for sure… just kidding. My money would be on the Goo Goo Dolls or Jane’s Addiction, but that’s just me. In the interest of honoring a solo artist who’s been around the block a few times, definitely George Michael or Patsy Cline. Done and done.

    It would be great is Jane’s Addiction got the nomination. After seeing them live a few months ago I’m totally sold on their rock and rollness!
