"Heartland rocker John Mellencamp is among the nominees for a new class of inductees at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, joined by jazz legend Miles Davis, rap pioneers Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five and Blondie....
Cat Stevens, who had folk hits in the 1970s before converting to Islam and largely retiring from music, was also nominated, along with punk rock pioneers The Patti Smith Group, the Sex Pistols and the Stooges.
"Free Bird" singers Lynyrd Skynyrd, heavy metal band Black Sabbath, the '60s beat group Dave Clark Five, Boston-area blues-rockers J. Geils Band, dance masters Chic and Texans Joe Tex, and the Sir Douglas Quintet were also on the ballot."
I say yes to Grandmaster Flash, Blondie, and the Sex Pistols.
Cat Stevens? Cat fucking Stevens?

Yes to the Stooges, possibly Patti Smith. Lynyrd Skynyrd gets in for Freebird and a plane crash. Black Sabbath is in because they want Ozzy there for the induction ceremony.
Miles Davis in the RnR HoF? How expansive of the genre are they going to be? Will the fine banjo work of Earl Scruggs get him in the Hall, too?
