9 will compete. Only five can win. Here they are, the nine candidates hoping to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
Chic
The Dark Clark Five
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
R.E.M.
The Ronettes
Patti Smith
The Stooges
Joe Tex
Van Halen
If I had to choose I would go with
1. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five [go early hip-hop]
2. R.E.M. [regardless of what you think of the new stuff many a band took a few pages from R.E.M's songbook to get where they are today.]
3.Chic [anyone that can blend disco, sex appeal, r&b, and funk effortlessly and make it POP-U-LAR for the masses, gets points in my book]
4. Patti Smith [do I really need to justify this one?]
5. The Stooges [See Patti Smith. Plus Iggy Pop is still sexier [and packing more heat] than may frontman working today.]
