Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

Remember when...

The nominees for the latest class of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were announced today. The nominees are Madonna, The Beastie Boys, John Mellencamp, Donna Summer, Afrika Bambaataa, Chic, singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, the The Dave Clark Five and the The Ventures. Only five of these nine nominees will be inducted though and will be announced in January. So that means Madonna, Beastie Boys, John Mellencamp, Donna Summer, and one of the other ones will be honored at the induction ceremony in New York on New York on March 12, 2008.

To be eligible, a performer or group must have released a first single or album at least 25 years ago. Yup, we all feel pretty damn old right now, don't we?
