The nominees for the 2019 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame have been revealed. To be eligible to enter the hallowed hall, an artist’s first commercial records need to have been released 25 years ago, in 1993. As a result, first time nominees for the next run include Devo, Roxy Music, Stevie Nicks, Todd Rundgren, John Prine, and Def Leppard. Returning artists who have been nominated before include Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Janet Jackson, the Cure, Kraftwerk, MC5, Rufus & Chaka Khan, LL Cool J, and the Zombies.
Kate Bush and Jeff Buckley are among those to have been snubbed. Fans can vote for who they want to enter here, before the final inductees are revealed in December. There will then be a ceremony with performances next year. www.nme.com/news/music/nominees-rock-roll-hall-fame-2019-2388137

This is Def Leppard's first year getting nominated? They damn well better get in.

Inducting Def Leppard and not Judas Priest and Iron Maiden is like inducting Nickelback instead of Nirvana.

For the record, I also want Priest and Maiden to get in. Also, while I would induct Nirvana over Nickelback, I still think Nirvana is overrated in the grand scheme of things, and Nickelback is overhated.

I also like some Def Leppard stuff, but I do think that it's laughable that they'd get in before the best and most significant NWOBHM bands.

No Hootie and the Blowfish? This is an outrage!

I agree. It was bad enough that last year Bon Jovi got in and Judas Priest didn't. With Firepower (2018) Priest put out their best album since Painkiller (1990), and the Rock Hall responded by passing them over.
