The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced its 2011 inductees, and several oldies artists have finally made the final cut. Neil Diamond and Dr. John win on their very first nomination, while Darlene Love wins after two previous nominations in 1999 and 2010.
Here's the full list of 2011 Hall of Fame nominees. Click on a link to read their profile:
- Beastie Boys
- Bon Jovi
- Chic
- Alice Cooper
- Neil Diamond
- Donna Summer
- Donovan
- Dr. John
- The J. Geils Band
- LL Cool J
- Darlene Love
- Laura Nyro
- Joe Tex
- Tom Waits
- Chuck Willis
The winners will be inducted at the annual ceremony held on March 14 in New York. (Officials have decided to return to the museum's home base of Cleveland only once every three years for the actual inductions.) Which of these artists should make it into the hall, and which shouldn't even be on this list? Let me know what you think here.
