could “Walk This Way” into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The 1980s rap act, along with Metallica and the Stooges, are among the nine nominees for next year’s hall of fame class, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation announced Monday.
The list is notable for Air Jordan Women Size the wide range of musical genres represented hip hop, metal, punk, disco and R and the large number of first time candidates. Only Chic, the Stooges and Jackson have been previously nominated.
“It’s an interesting group because it really shows the nominating committee showed some thought and energy into who should be inducted,” said Joel Peresman, president and CEO of the New York City based Rock Hall Air Jordan Fusion 4 foundation. “It truly shows it’s never a closed door for any artist to be nominated.”
The five leading vote getters will be announced in January and inducted April 4, 2009, in Cleveland.
The ceremony typically has been held in New York but is returning to Cleveland after more than a decade long absence. Tickets will be made available to the public for the first time.
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five opened the door for rap at the Rock Hall as the first hip hop act to be inducted in 2007. This month the group released “Death Magnetic,” which marks a return to its early speed metal days.
The Stooges, recently given props in the film “Juno,” get another shot after last appearing on the ballot two years ago.
Left off Air Jordan 5s the ballot were Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bon Jovi. Both had been eligible for the Nike LeBron 11 first time. To be nominated an act must have released its first single or album 25 years prior.
“They’re great artists,” Peresman said. “People’s time comes for whatever reason when it does.”
“They need to go back to at least nominating 14 or 15 to at least give the voters more of an option,” Walls said. “It really puts the power in the nominating Air Jordan 6s committee’s hands.”
