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.

I remember Eydie Gorme had a song in 1963 called "Blame It On The Bossa Nova." ......

I sorta remember that tune. I know how it goes.

Mellencamp is a leftie and anti-Bushie, so I'd say politics plays a part in the nomination.

My last post before getting some shut-eye, because you discussed Lesley Gore -- she was my favorite girl singer as a kid, too. I used to like "You Don't Own Me" and "Maybe I Know" as well as "It's My Party" and of course "Judy's Turn To Cry." Oh yeah, and "She's A Fool" too. Lesley was touring a lot with Lou Christy on that casino circuit. He was good too. I saw her in 1963 at Steel Pier in Atlantic City -- Cousin Brucie from WABC introduced her -- Randy and the Rainbows ("Denise") and The Pixies Three ("Birthday Party" and "442 Glenwood Avenue") and The Essex ("Easier Said Than Done" and "A Walkin' Miracle") were also on the agenda. Anyway, Lesley was only 16 then -- she could be kind of cute if you caught her at just the right angle, but not so cute from the wrong angle. From Englewood Cliffs, NJ. This is one of the reasons I love FR. Stuff like this invariably comes up. Night all.

Thank you for the kind words.

BTW, I used to be atheist. A rather devout one, so to speak.

Maybe it is me but I have not seen one post about the bad girls of rock - "The Shangri-las". They were the hottest girl group when I was growing up.

Seger gets left out and Mellancamp gets in. I'll never understand it.

I remember listening to The Dave Clark Five, along with Herman's Hermits, Sonny & Cher, the guy that sang "Cherokee Nation, Cherokee Tribe," and a bunch of other bubble-gum music. It was fluff, I say, fluff!
