Following hot on the heels of the announcement of their Australian counterparts, the US Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame has announced its 2010 nominees. Unlike in Oz, not all acts nominated will make it in this year – some have already been the bridesmaid in that department. This year’s acts include Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, Tom Waits, Donovan, and Neil Diamond. They join previously nominated acts including the Beastie Boys, Donna Summer, Chic, J Geils Band, Laura Nyro, Dr John, Joe Tex and Chuck Willis. Those deemed worthy will be anointed at a ceremony in New York City on 14th March next year.
