The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has released the names of the nominees for the 2022 Induction Class. There are some great artists listed here, but as usual I am confused by an artist such as Eminem being considered for the Rock Hall. I am excited to see Beck, Kate Bush, DEVO and Duran Duran being considered.

In order to be eligible for nomination, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of the nomination. It's good to see that seven of the 17 nominees are on the ballot for the first time.

The Rock Hall is once again offering fans the opportunity to participate in the induction selection process via the "induction fan vote." Starting today and running through April 29, fans can vote each day at vote.rockhall.com, or at the physical location of the museum in Cleveland, Ohio. 

The nominees are:

Beck

Pat Benatar

Kate Bush

DEVO

Duran Duran

Eminem

Eurythmics

Judas Priest

Fela Kuti

MC5

New York Dolls

Dolly Parton

Rage Against The Machine

Lionel Richie

Carly Simon

A Tribe Called Quest

Dionne Warwick
