Kiss, Jimmy Cliff nominated for Rock Hall of Fame
Jimmy Cliff, Kiss, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Donna Summer are among the latest influential musicians vying for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Organizers of the U.S. honour revealed on Wednesday another eclectic list of one dozen contenders for induction in 2010.
Cliff, Kiss and the Chili Peppers are among those nominated for the first time, along with Genesis, the Hollies, LL Cool J and Laura Nyro. On the ballot once again are Summer, Darlene Love, Abba, the Chantels and the Stooges.
Artists are eligible for induction into the Cleveland-based Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first single or album.
A group of more than 500 musicians and industry professions will cast votes to decide next year’s inductees.
The five acts with the most votes will be announced in January, with their induction ceremony to follow in Manhattan on March 15.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is also celebrating its 25th anniversary with consecutive concerts in New York, on Oct. 29 and 30.
