The other nominees are Janet Jackson, Kraftwerk, LL Cool J, MC5, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, The Cure. The Zombies. This is certainly an eclectic representation of 'rock' music including everything from classic and punk to grunge and disco to electronic and hip hop. In order to qualify, acts must have been making music for over 25 years, that means they released their first single or album by 1993.
This is the fifth year for LL Cool J and Kraftwerk, the fourth for MC5 and the Zombies, the third appearance for Rufus featuring Chaka Khan and Janet Jackson, and the second appearance for Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, and The Cure.
Kate Bush, Nine Inch Nails, The Smiths, The Replacements, Eurythmics, J Geils Band, Judas Priest, The Meters, Depeche Mode, Eric B. & Rakim, Sister Rosetta Sharpe, and Link Wray were dropped from last year's ballot.
There were no nominations for artists who became eligible this year including the likes of Outkast, Beck, Snoop Dogg, Jeff Buckley, Fugees, The Roots, and Dave Matthews Band.
