and the nominees are...

not sure if anyone cares, but

the new nominees for the R&R hall of fame are in, and some pretty gusty moves were made. here are the contestants:

# Albert King
# Chic
# Deep Purple
# Donna Summer
# Heart
# Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
# Kraftwerk
# The Marvelettes
# The Meters
# N.W.A
# The Paul Butterfield Blues Band
# Procol Harum
# Public Enemy
# Randy Newman
# Rush

what a list

the big thing here is that Rush is on the list, as people have been ranting and raving against the organization for years that they've ignored progressive rock.

Also big news is Deep Purple. My guess is they're only doing it because Jon Lord died, but whatever

Procol Harum would also be pretty neat to see get in, but I don't really see it happening.

also, Kraftwerk, i guess

How many get in again? Three?

If so, my votes go to
DEEP PURPLE
PUBLIC ENEMY
HEART
my fourth choice if i get one is n.w.a.

i think like 5 or 6 get in

the more I think about it, the more I wish they had chosen King Crimson or Yes or something over Rush.

but at least its a step in the right direction

maybe canturbery scene will be next

wow the rocknroll hall of fame is so irrelevant omg

it's true, the only reason rush will make it over any other progressive rock band is because of its dedicated fanbase that can make the hall more money

i don't even know why I still follow who they let in or not ROFL

If Nirvana don't make it in in 2014 the whole thing's a sham
