"Radiohead, Kate Bush, Rage Against The Machine and Depeche Mode are among the music legends leading the nominations for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 2018.

 

To be eligible for entry into the hallowed hall, each potential nominee’s first single or album had to be released in 1992 or earlier.

 

Joining them in the shortlist are Bon Jovi, Judas Priest, the Cars, Dire Straits, Eurythmics, J. Geils Band, LL Cool J, MC5, the Meters, the Moody Blues, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Nina Simone, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Link Wray and the Zombies.

 

While this is the first nomination for some of the acts, many have already appeared in the shortlist before. This marks the fifth nomination for J. Geils Band, the fourth for LL Cool J and the Meters, the third for the Cars, MC5 and the Zombies and the second for Bon Jovi, Depeche Mode, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan and Link Wray.

 

Keeping up with the Hall’s new standard, each past member of each band will also be honoured – meaning that former Depeche Mode members Alan Wilder and co-founder Vince Clarke are also listed. The many ex-members of Bon Jovi, Judas Priest and Dire Straits are also listed. This follows controversy after Pearl Jam’s ex-drummer protested after their induction in 2017.

 

Many are hoping for Rage Against The Machine to reunite for their induction, as three of the members are currently touring without frontman Zach De La Rocha as Prophets Of Rage. Radiohead have said that they’re planning a hiatus next year, while Kate Bush rarely makes public appearances – but teased that she might play live or recording new music again soon."

    Can the same Rock Hall that inducted Tupac also welcome Judas Priest?
    Bogus if they don't get in -- one of the top metal bands of all time and metal has been frequently looked over by the Hall. 
    But, seriously, if a rapper can be put into the Rock and Roll HoF, how about honoring one of the greatest metal bands of all time?!
