Cleveland,Ohio (AHN) - The nominees for the Class of 2006 for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is filled with a lot of hold overs from previous years and virtually ignores a truckload of artists that many critics are shaking their heads over.

J.Geils Band, John Mellencamp, the Patti Smith Group, Chic, Joe Tex,Miles Davis, Cat Stevens, Blondie, the Paul Butterfield Band, the Dave Clark Five and the Sir Douglas Quintet will all have a chance to make it into the hall of fame located in Cleveland.

This year also marks the eighth chance for Black Sabbath, Lynyd 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.

J. Geils Band- Piss on the wall--- Freeze Frame Album


(Peter Wolf/Seth Justman) - 1981
Now some people think the world is what it ain't
To some I'm a sinner, to others a saint
Some folks say the world ain't what is is
All I know is I just got to take a wiz
Where am I goin' and where have I been
My head's in the clouds and my tail's in a spin
Jumpin' out of planes for the thrill of it all
Then I bounce back and take a Piss On The Wall
Politics - Shmolitics
They oughta save their breath
Mean streak - blue streak
They sentence me to death
Harangue me from a tree
Twist and shout until I crawl
Do the flip - do the flop
Piss On The Wall
Well the Yanks hate the Reds
And the Greeks hate the Turks
I really hate to say it
But they're all a bunch of jerks
Seems like everybody's shakin'
'Cause the big one's 'bout to fall
I'm just tryin' to hold it steady while I
Piss On The Wall

Nice going, Katy. I can still remember seeing them on "The Ed Sullivan Show" a few weeks after The Beatles were on. I remember the lead singer was Mike Smith. Dave Clark on drums. The other guys -- hmm, was it Denis Payton, Len Davidson -- can't recall the fifth one. Remember their follow up to "Glad All Over" was "Bits And Pieces?" One of the few songs where the drums were the main instrument -- we wore out a few floorboards stomping to that one!

The Bird was their big hit, but the flip side was memorable: Little Sally Walker

The Rivington's were a definite niche market group.

Yeah, I've heard that commercial. Pretty cool! And, of course, there's the one of the Shadows of Knight singing about potato chips!

Why on Earth would Miles Davis be considered for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

Their original name was Bloos Magoos. Should've kept it that way.
