Nominees include Chaka Khan, Janet Jackson, LL Cool J, Def Leppard, Devo, John Prine, Kraftwerk, MC5, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Roxy Music, Stevie Nicks, The Cure, The Zombies, and Todd Rundgren.
This will be Chaka and Janet’s third time being nominated, and LL Cool J’s fifth nomination. The ladies were up for eligibility back in 1999, while LL gained his in 2009. To be eligible, an artist or band “must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.”
Inductees wil be announced in December, and the ceremony will take place in March 2019. Good Luck!
