- No sleep till Cleveland!
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum just announced the nomination list of artists eligible for induction in 2011. It’s filled with the usual mix of legends (Tom Waits), leftovers (Alice Cooper), and longshots (Donna Summer).
The most surprising thing about this year’s list of 15 nominees is that so many of them were eligible before. The Rock Hall’s rules state that an artist’s first record must be at least 25 years old before they’re eligible for induction. Several artists on this year’s list date further back than that.
Let’s run down the full list and their odds of getting in, shall we?
