2006 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees
 

And the nominees are...

Chic
The Dave Clark Five
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
R.E.M.
The Ronettes
Patti Smith
The Stooges
Joe Tex
Van Halen

Five of them will be inducted on March 12th.

Oh and I forgot to add that one of them better be Van Halen.

I think its pretty obv that REM will be

I'll second that for Van Halen :) I thought one of the induction criteria was that the band still had to be performing. Is the Dave Clark Five still performing - or the Ronettes?

**edit** I guess I was wrong - this is right off their site:

Performers
Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artist’s contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.

Sweet! Van Halen!!!!!! I agree with a few above me. They better be one of them! 2 more years till we hopefully see Metallica and Bon Jovi.

Ryan

OK - I'll go for Van Halen, REM and Patti Smith. Who else??

Kathleen

Yeah I'll agree with those. And I guess I'd say the Stooges because I kinda like Iggy Pop. As for the rest - eh.

So is Wolfgang VH going to be inducted too?

Dave Clark and Grandmaster Flash. Or maybe The Stooges instead of Dave Clarck, but Grandmaster is going to get in. You gotta please the homies. :D

Ice

yeah lots of bands are coming the next few years... the two your mentioned but a lot more RHCP is one I can think of now..
