Mellencamp, Miles Among Rock Hall Nominees
Rock veteran John Mellencamp is among the nominees for a new class of inductees at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, joined by jazz legend Miles Davis, rap pioneers Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five and Blondie.
Cat Stevens, who had folk hits in the 1970s before converting to Islam and largely retiring from music, is also nominated, along with pioneering punk rock acts the Patti Smith Group, the Sex Pistols and the Stooges.
Southern rock stalwart Lynyrd Skynyrd, heavy metal band Black Sabbath, 1960s beat group Dave Clark Five, Boston-area blues-rockers J. Geils Band, dance masters Chic and Texans Joe Tex, and the Sir Douglas Quintet are also on the ballot.
Musicians, industry professionals and journalists vote, and results of the 21st annual election will likely be announced in December.
Artists are eligible to be inducted into the Rock Hall after at least 25 years have passed since their first record was released.
