This years nominees include Pearl Jam, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Tupac Shakur, Janet Jackson, Journey and Bad Brains. Other finalists include Electric Light Orchestra, Chic, Chaka Khan, The Cars, Jane’s Addiction, Joan Baez, MC5, Yes, The Zombies and Steppenwolf. For the first time ever, the Hall of Fame is going to credit specific members of the band instead of the full line-up.
Among the people who vote for the acts to get inducted into the Hall of Fame are a group of artists, historians, music industry members etc. The top five vote receivers will then be inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame during a grand ceremonyΒ held in April 2017 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
We personally hope Pearl Jam gets in this year!Β
