Geils BandJane’s AddictionJanet JacksonJoan BaezJoe TexJourneyKraftwerkMC5Pearl JamSteppenwolfThe CarsThe ZombiesTupac ShakurYesThe Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced Tuesday morning the nominees for its 2017 induction ceremony. This year’s nominees include Tupac Shakur, Chaka Khan, Pearl Jam, Bad Brains, Janet Jackson, and more.Pearl Jam and Tupac seem like locks for induction. Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, and Yes could sneak in this year. They need a woman and out of of the three, Janet is the biggest headliner. Why won't they just induct her already?!

J. Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Tupac is definitely getting in. It remains to be seen for Jans. Idc either way. I don't place too much value on these honors created by white folk! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotboy06 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 I was waiting for the meltdowns. But I guess this will do. That will come in December. I've got Wissam goons on speed dial. And my good sis CIA has a heads up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 me too TBH Just so I could laugh. But they haven't nominated Rufus since 2012. I really don't know what the hell the committee be thinking. They want to get their rock bands in now cuz they know once their current voters die, and the new voters, who will undeniably have a wider taste in music, come in, those old bands won't have a chance. That will come in December. I've got Wissam goons on speed dial. And my good sis CIA has a heads up as well. I will not have you putting a hit out on the R&R voting committee. But I definitely am ready for December's news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they don't nominate JanTHENA, then I won't have a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they don't nominate JanTHENA, then I won't have a choice. The only other 90s women that have a chance of getting in are Whitney and Mariah. And if Whitney doesn't get in, Mariah surely isn't getting in. Inductees are gonna be announced in December. If Janet gets inducted, I'm sure she'll reschedule her induction. But we shall see how things go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well she's had awards shows schedule around her..so I don't see why this would be different.. You could've been talking about Canadian songstress Celine Dion. Then there's Toni. But it's very unlikely she's getting inducted. Well that was because she put out a historical document that set the world on fire for a good year and a half. That was warranted.

bu. Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 You can vote but I don't think the vote means anything. They've changed it from last year where you could get away with the block/mass voting. https://vote.rockhall.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
