This year also marks the eighth chance for Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd gets their seventh chance, and the Sex Pistols and the Stooges all of which are on try number five. Missing from the nomination list again this year include bands like Rush, Van Halen, Yes, Genesis, ELO, Joan Jett, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper, Heart, Deep Purple, Pat Benatar, and Duran Duran.Nominees are picked by a 70-member committee of rock 'n' roll historians, journalists and label execs, with ballots then mailed to an international voting body of 700 music industry types for the final decision. The five to seven nominees that receive the most votes will be inducted into the Rock Hall next year.

I hate to say it guys, but we may be waiting awhile for our boys to be inducted. Living in Cleveland,, I really take notice to the Rock Hall, as it is the only thing cool to come out of this city. And I have seen so many great artists passed up time and time again before they get considered. I guess we need to keep up the letter writing campaign and hope we have better luck next year!!
