It is about time of course that does not mean either artist will get in.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced this year’s nominees today after much anticipation. To receive a nomination is a prestigious honor. The list consists of artist from different eras and genres of music.

The full list is as follows:
Alice Cooper
Beastie Boys
Bon Jovi
Chic
Neil Diamond
Donovan
Dr. John
J. Geils Band
LL Cool J
Darlene Love
Laura Nyro
Donna Summer
Joe Tex
Tom Waits
Chuck Willis

But Kiss is overlooked again. I love these quotes:

Quote :: A Heavy Metal Odyssey in Rural North Dakota author and longtime Kiss fan Chuck Klosterman tells Yahoo!. "Every year they get shut out, they're back in the news for not making it -- people will actually notice far less if they ever get inducted. Plus, being denied entry into the Hall of Fame advances the idea that Kiss exists outside the canon of critically sanctioned rock, and it perpetuates the idea that Kiss fans are unjustly persecuted for loving Kiss, which is central to the Kiss-fan identity. I hope they never get in. I'm sure they'll eventually build their own Hall of Fame, anyway, just so they can not induct Vinnie Vincent."

Quote :: Kiss members themselves seem to have mixed feelings about being excluded from one of rock's most elite clubs. "There are disco bands, rap bands, Yiddish folk song bands in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but not Kiss," the band's bassist and most recognizable figure Gene Simmons said in 2008, adding sarcastically, "I believe we have more gold records in America than any other group, but it's OK."

As I say every year when the R&RHOF nominations are announced:

"Meh. Whatever. Hey, The Simpsons is coming on!"

Not exactly surprised that KISS got snubbed (again). Hell, I think I was MORE surprised to find out that they actually MADE the ballot last year.

Quote :: "I'm sure they'll eventually build their own Hall of Fame anyway, just so they can not induct Vinnie Vincent."

Freakin brilliant. Laughing very hard

that is an amazing uninspired list of artists, even for these morons! I really think it has to be the same bunch that does the Grammys...because I don't think it's possible to attain that level of ineptitude more than once.

All lie more towards R&B. But R&B is Rock N' Roll and Rock N' Roll is R&B, there is no separation........

Donovan, Dr. John, Laura Nyro, Joe Tex, Tom Waits, Chuck Willis...those I'll give you. Alice Cooper is an inspired choice of course (and should be a shoe-in if there is any justice).

But Donna Summer & Chic, really? I was "there" when that whole scene was happening, I was probably about 8 years old at the time, but I still thought it was lame. Laughing

That really was. Can you imagine if Kiss built their own HoF? Kissland would be a merchandisers dream!!!

Finally Alice Cooper gets a nomination. Will he actually make it in? We'll see.

LL Cool J? Really? No Kiss, but LL Cool J?

No offense to J Geils Band, but geez, Kiss were 100,000x more influential and popular than those guys.

JOKE!

As long as Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone is on the board of directors of the Rock n' Roll HoF, KISS will never be inducted. He's had it out for them since the 70's.

I really only care if Alice Cooper makes it in. The rest ? No big deal. A few on there are ridiculous though (as usual). LL Cool J? Beastie Boys? Really ???? What a JOKE !

U shere have a purty mouth!

Alice better get in, might even give them a tad of integrity.

Youngsters don't understand how hard we've worked to erase that music from our sub-conscience. They see it as novelty like Lady GAGA.

RNR Hall of Fame couldn't handle a band of Kiss' magnitude

From that list, I can understand Alice Cooper and since they do have a section for Hip Hop and what not I can even understand LL Cool J as he was a pioneer in that genra, Bon Jovi I think is only because hes been around forever

This year I am just not impressed
