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

    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.

    Madonna is also a nomination for this year.

    It's the "year of the dance".

    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....

    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.
