Cheap Trick, Deep Purple Get Rock Hall Nods

Cheap Trick and Deep Purple are officially Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame nominees. Joining them are Janet Jackson, N.W.A, Nine Inch Nails, Chicago, the Smiths, Chic, Chaka Khan, Yes, The J.B.'s, Los Lobos, Steve Miller, The Spinners and The Cars.

Chic has been nominated 10 times before! This is the first nomination for Cheap Trick. My gut tells me they will get in this year and so will Deep Purple. Janet Jackson is also an automatic.

The Class of 2016 will be announced in December and inducted in April 2016 at a ceremony in New York City.

Vote for your favorite to get in the hall now. What do you think of the 2016 nominees?
