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.

Van Halen being left out is the biggest joke of all! Only one of the greatest guitar players of all time and like Hendrix someone who actually changed the way the instrument was played! Revolutionized the instrument and layed down some blistering slabs of RAWK!

I share the anti-Rush gene with your wife. A Rush song will make me leave any room, store, or party.

In the meantime, they will ignore bands that were tremendously popular but largely apolitical, like Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rush, and Heart. And they will pretend that bands which espoused conservative or traditional values, like Kansas or Styx, were a stain on the very fabric of Rock 'n Roll.

Which is why I was shocked Bob Seger and AC/DC were inducted.

Montrose is vastly under-rated

Agreed. I have their 1973 release with Sammy Hagar on vocals. There's not a bad song on there.

The irony is that Walden at Capricorn Records from Macon was a big buttbuddy of Carter's in 76 when Southern Rock was peaking and enlisted basically his whole roster to play for Jimmy.

I have Skynyrd's "Freebird: The Movie", live from 1976. At the end of Sweet Home Alabama - "Mr Carter's got the answer."

Jann said about Rush, "They will never get in or nominated as long as I live. What have they done besides Tom Sawyer? Nothing."

To the rich leftist Jann - "Big Money...got no soul......"

Ted Nugent doing a cover of "Baby Please Don't Go"

My second favorite Amboy Dukes song. My favorite - "Great White Buffalo", which is still played in Michigan, usually during hunting season.

I remember buying a Rush album and a buddy of mine was aghast: "Ohmygawd hide that thing NOW!" Like I was really slumming into lowlife rock n' roll by buying Rush.

The soundtrack of those left out is better than those who were in. Rush and Van Halen rocked!
