Mark in Seattle (removing the njc for this one post - if the subject moves past Joni again, will the next person please replace it?) - -----Original Message----- From: Jim L'Hommedieu Sent: Saturday, October 10, 2015 7:07 AM To: JMDL Subject: 2016 Rock Hall nominees, njc 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 (Before anyone starts carping, Joni is already in.) This is the first time Yes has been nominated. Common consumers can vote here: http://rockhall.com/voting/2016-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-nominees-vote/ I attended an hour-long presentation about how the nominees are winnowed down to inductees. Basically the inner circle decides. The final number varies each year because they employ a seat of the pants method. It was not clear, (after an hour long presentation) whether common music lovers votes are even considered. I think that NWA will get in, because Big Money in the movie industry stands to benefit. You remember NWA; their very name is so vulgar that an acronym replaced it long ago. Can anyone name a Janet Jackson song which is not a cover? James Brown's band was "The JBs". Since the phrase JB is plural, not possessive, there should be NO FRICKIN APOSTROPHE IN THE NOMINEE'S NAME. ELP still has not been nominated. I went to nine websites before I found the list by itself, without being embedded in paragraphs.
