The nominees for the upcoming 2017 Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame were announced Tuesday morning, and the list of potential inductees is impressive. Here are the nominees for this class of 2017…
Janet Jackson, Journey, The Cars, Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, Depeche Mode, Electric Light Orchestra, Jane’s Addiction, the Zombies and Yes. The nominees list also includes Chaka Khan, Joe Tex, Kraftwerk, MC5 and Steppenwolf. Chic, the J. Geils Band, and Joan Baez round out the potential inductees.
The eventual list of those that do get into the Hall will be announced in December, with an induction ceremony next April 2017 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Our money is on Journey, Joan Baez, The Cars, Pearl Jam, ELO and Zombies. You may remember last year’s honorees included Deep Purple, N.W.A, Steve Miller, Chicago, and Cheap Trick.
