Run DMC, Metallica and the Stooges are among the nine nominees up for induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In order to receive a nod, an act must have released its first single 25 years prior. This is the first year that Run DMC qualifies and if they get accepted, they will be the second rap act ever to be inducted as Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five was the first rap group inducted in 2007. The other nominees include Jeff Beck, singer Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, Bobby Womack and disco R&B group Chic. Noticeably missing from the ballot were Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bon Jovi who both just became eligible. The five most voted nominees will be announced in January with the induction following in April.
