Run-D.M.C., Metallica nominated for Rock HallCLEVELAND – Run-D.M.C. 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 other nominees are guitarist Jeff Beck, singer Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, Bobby Womack, and disco and R&B group Chic, the only nominee back from last year's ballot. 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. Now, Run-D.M.C., nominated in the first year of its eligibility, has the chance to follow on the strength of rock and rap blends such as the 1986 cover of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and classics like "It's Tricky" and "My Adidas." Metallica jumped on the heavy metal wave of the '80s and 25 years later is still selling out arenas. 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. news.yahoo.com/story//ap/20080922/ap_en_mu/rock_hall_nomineesAnyone else notice how stupid that last sentence is?

Gee, will Metallica get into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame?
And another difficult question for everyone: Is the sky blue?

I'll say this: If War doesn't get into the HOF, it'll be a crime.

Passed over yet again. Yeah, I just don't get the snubbing at Alice Cooper, much less KISS. Sadly, this is what I call the "Queen" Effect - The most popular acts in terms of record sales/chart-hits get in before everyone else of a certain genre. Cooper and KISS, despite their great contributions to heavy metal and concert theatricality, aren't given due respect. Of course, no one has ever taken that HOF seriously. Right Sex Pistols?

Alice should be in before KISS. Without Alice Cooper, there would have been no KISS.

Is Skynard even in the HOF yet? Yes. I believe they got in last year or two years ago.

The Rock Hall is a joke and has been for a long time. The fact that Grand Master Flash and Madonna is in before Metallica, Kiss, and ELO is proof.
