The twelve nominees are: ABBA, Darlene Love, Donna Summer, Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, KISS, Laura Nyro, LL Cool J, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Chantels, The Hollies, and The Stooges. Ballots will be sent to more than 500 voters, who will select artists to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the 25th Annual Induction Ceremony on March 15, 2010 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

To be eligible for nomination into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an act must have released its first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. This year’s nominees had to release their first single no later than 1984.

  • nah was Jimmy Cliff.

    As for the list, immediate entry for Kiss and the Stooges (despite Iggy Pop's incresingly bizarre car insurance, lego computer games etc). Jummy Cliff for The Harder They Fall... The rest? pffffft.

    They can have a drink off or something to decide teh remaiing two places.
