Oh & Chic are up for induction too. Does this mean that disco isn't a dirty word any more?:icon_rolleyes:
Just seen this on the BBC website.

There hasn't been any other disco artist inducted yet? Like the Trammps?!
I think Chic should get in first because they did so much work for other people in addition to themselves. And it would be a nice tribute to the late Bernard Edwards.
Disco Funk
Madonna is also a nomination for this year.
It's the "year of the dance".
Rolling Stone : 2008 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees Announced: Madonna, Beastie Boys, More
I see Leonard Cohen's on the list; he must one of the few 'rock' artists never to have had a stab at the disco genre; is he? Someone's about to tell me otherwise I bet...surely not....![]()
...ya gotta beat the street......
I wish they'd call it the "MUSIC" Hall of Fame.
The final 5 nominees were just announced this past week:
MADONNA
JOHN MELLENCAMP
LEONARD COHEN
THE VENTURES
THE DAVE CLARK FIVE
They re-nominate the acts that didn't get the final 5 nod, so Donna Summer and Chic will no doubt get in the final 5 someday...hey, The Dave Clark Five [ U.S. hits from 1964-1967] & The Ventures [U.S. hits from 1960-1969] finally made it!!!!
sidebar: The Ventures actually did a little disco in 1976 as "The New Ventures"...charted some titles briefly on the Billboard, most notably "Superstar Revue" written by Vernon Burch.
