Bon Jovi and Alice Cooper have also been nominated.
How does that work? Will he have to compete in some way in order to get in?
More than one band gets in but to be honest I have no idea how it works.
i think 'industry insiders' vote and there's a vote total or percentage of votes that they have to reach to make it. so as many people get inducted as make the vote mark.
also tom waits has been eligible for like 12 years so i don't really see him getting in, honestly. not yet at least.

Man I don't want to, you know, cast aspersions, buuuut
What did Donovan do other than Sunshine Superman, and Mellow Yellow, and Season of the Witch, and Atlantis... okay I guess that's sort of a large number of songs.
Sorry Donovan, I take it back.
(But seriously, Donovan?)

donovan was pretty successful over a long period of time, so i'm definitely not surprised by that. he was definitely bigger outside of the US, though, and critically has always been regarded as an also-ran to dylan.

This is not Tom Waits first nomination. HOW THE FUCK DID HE NOT GET IN BEFORE?
man there's nothing wrong with the coffee at IHOP
you know
i absolutely love tom waits
i would like to point out however, that the institute is called the 'ROCK AND ROLL' hall of fame
I really don't know why. There are a lot of acts that aren't rock and roll in it. It should just be called the music hall of fame.
But Cleveland rocks
i was never under the impression this was in question
I've found mixed reactions to that statement.

Yeah but I'm about to start season four and so far the renditions in seasons one and three were just way better all-around
