As expected

CLEVELAND — Run-D.M.C. could "Walk This Way" into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The 1980s rap act, along with Metallica and the Stooges are among the nine nominees for next year's hall of fame class, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation announced Monday.

The other nominees are guitarist Jeff Beck, singer Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, Bobby Womack, and disco and R&B group Chic, the only nominee back from last year's ballot.

The five leading vote-getters will be announced in January and inducted April 4, 2009, in Cleveland.

that is all such BS. It's like this exclusive party where only some are invited

The Rap N Roll hall Of Crap

Is this like, pick one from the list? I choose Jeff Beck.

OK - this is the best they could come up with???? I could see Jeff Beck and Little Anthony but the others?????

This whole R&R HOF is a joke.........

The people voting for these acts are quite obviously tone-deaf from having their heads completely up Rolling Stone's proverbial gigantic smelly ass.

I don't see a problem with Jeff beck, Metallica or even War for that matter.

Jeff Beck and Bobby Womack are acceptable to me. Across 110th street is epic.

They had to reach way back to get Wanda Jackson. Pickin's must be slim.

But hey, they haven't put SRV in yet so who knows.

It is all just a crock anymore.Rap is not Rock & Roll.Wake up you crazy people at the HOF.

another rolling stone/critic crap, i will never give them my money.

I agree, but somone answer me THIS- How the hell is Jeff Beck NOT already in the ROR Hall of fame????

Just goes to show you what a joke it is.

Who the fuck is Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials and Bobby Womack. Never heard of any of them. Run DMC has no place if the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Seems like that only to get in any more is to suck the Rolling Stone's dick. To me, not getting nominated is more of an honor.

Gotta love Run DMC, though.
My Adidas, baby

Wouldn't it be something if Soto got in and Journey didn't?

The Heart of Rock n Roll sure ain't beatin' in Cleveland.

Some one needs to start a real RnR Hall of Fame. Convert some old historic hall someplace where real rock n roll was played with the museum attached.

F off RnR Hall of Lame.

Excellent point there.

This comment being pointed at by Joe Paterno =

Contrast of cultures. Don't think Joe even knows who Run DMC is.

Metallica shouldn't be in if Journey, Rush, or Foreigner aren't....

No one cares about the RRH of shame.
This has been such a joke for a long time now... some of the "Artists" that are in there have degraded it to the point that it is no longer an honor to be inducted anyway.

Metallica shouldn't be in anyway but that's just me, I think.
But you do have a point there.
