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.
If these bands can't get inducted, I might as well forget about Motorhead getting in. Black Sabbath, Skynyrd, Alice Cooper, ELO, Van Halen, even Deep Purple? Jeez, what's wrong with the judges?
the only answer I can come up with....limp wristed lol
