Her biggest-selling album Rhythm Nation 1814 lists her as co-writer on about half the songs. But is there a Rock and Roll Museum requirement that nominees can't do covers?

In this case, it brings jobs and tourists to Cleveland. > On Oct 10, 2015, at 9:44 PM, Randy Remote wrote: > > It still makes me mad that Bob Welch was not inducted with Fleetwood Mac. > Yes on Yes, and ELP should be there, too. > RR > > >> Chicago >> Cheap Trick >> Deep Purple >> The Cars >> Chaka Khan >> Chic >> The J.B.bs >> Janet Jackson >> Los Lobos >> Steve Miller >> N.W.A. >> Nine Inch Nails >> The Smiths >> The Spinners >> Yes > >> Jim ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2015 #613 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendto joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
