Hall of Fame: And the Nominees Are…

The 2010 nominees for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have been announced and they don’t suck as hard as usual. The twelve nominees are: ABBA, Darlene Love, Donna Summer, Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, KISS, Laura Nyro, LL Cool J, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Chantels, The Hollies and The Stooges. The 500 HOF voters will decide which five bands get inducted into the Hall at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City on March 15, 2010.

If we had a vote we’d choose KISS, Genesis, the Chili Peppers, The Stooges and ABBA. Yes…ABBA. You can’t deny the success and long-lasting impact the Swedes had on the music business and even though their music isn’t my jam, they should get in against the likes of LL Cool J. Who would you pick?
