Artists like Journey, Duran Duran, Kiss, Heart and Chicago were snubbed.
The names of the Rock and Roll Hall inductees would be announced in the month of December. It would be announced after the 26th annual induction proceedings rage ahead on the 14th of March in New York’s famous Waldorf-Astoria. Neil Diamond would be performing some of his hits on that day, as would Tom Waits. He is supposedly, an intimate acquaintance of the Rolling Stone head honcho Jann Wenner and he is also close to the voting board of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
It is said that more than 500 people from the music business vote for the nominees of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame each year.
