“Whitney Houston in Hall of Fame”

Whitney Houston has a chance to win a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time. The Notorious BIG, Thin Lizzy, T Rex, Motörhead and Pat Benatar were also nominated for the first time by the Museum of Pop History in Cleveland.

Every year a select group of artists is selected who are eligible for a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The condition is that they released their first album at least 25 years ago. This year, more than a thousand musicians, experts and critics are voting for their favorite. A public vote is also taken into account when selecting the new rock icons.

Some nominees have been waiting for years for them to finally be included in the prestigious Hall of Fame. Kraftwerk, for example, has been nominated for the sixth time, while the disco legends of Chic, who already had a chance 11 times, have not even made it to the long list this year.

The museum will announce the new members of the Hall of Fame in January. This year, Janet Jackson, Radiohead, Roxy Music, Def Leppard, The Zombies, The Cure and Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks were among the newcomers.
