Will the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame Let Madonna In?

The queen of pop -- along with the Beastie Boys, Donna Summer, and John Mellencamp -- may soon be part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

While some grumbled at dance-pop acts like Madonna and Summer being included as nominees for the rock institution, many see them as shoo-ins. Performers and acts become eligible for induction 25 years after their first single is released. Nominees are selected by historians, and inductees are picked by approximately 500 performers, producers, music executives, and journalists.

Other nominees include hip-hopper Afrika Bambaataa and singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. Five inductees will be welcomed into the Hall of Fame on March 10 in New York. (The Advocate)
