This year’s list of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees is in. The Beastie Boys, Madonna, Afrika Bambaataa, Chic, Leonard Cohen, the Dave Clark Five, John Mellencamp, Donna Summer, and the Ventures fill out the nine-nominee ballot. Only five will actually be selected for entrance into the Rock Hall of Fame in a voting process involving over 500 voters. The inductees will be announced in January and honored in a ceremony March 10 at New York City’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel.http://www.spin.com/features/news/2007/09/070928_duran_britpop/
