9 Nominees Top Weak 2007 Rock ‘n Roll Hall Of Fame List
This year’s 2007 nominees to the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame are Van Halen, R.E.M., the Stooges, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Patti Smith, the Dave Clark Five, the Ronettes, Chic, and Joe Tex. Now the nominees are presented to 500 insider voters who generally induct five to seven each year. Given this year’s list one has to question if inducting only 2 or 3 worthy acts wouldn’t make more sense.
Only REM and Van Halen made the top 20 according to this poll of rock fans at:
