Wanda Jackson and Other Oddly Deserving Musicians Get the Rock Hall Nod

Wanda Jackson

Jeff Beck, Chic, Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Metallica, Run-DMC, the Stooges, War, and Bobby Womack are this year’s nominees for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. This is especially good news for us, given that Oklahoma’s own Wanda — I’ve always hated that construction, but what’re you going to do? — has been eligible about 30 years longer than Run-DMC but has not gotten the nod until now. Jann, you’ve done us proud.

Jeff Beck Group, “Shape of Things”

Chic, “I Want Your Love”

Wanda Jackson, “Rock Your Baby”

Little Anthony and the Imperials, “Tears On My Pillow”

Metallica, “One”

Run-DMC, “King of Rock”

Iggy and the Stooges, “TV Eye”

War, “Low Rider”

Bobby Womack, “Across 110th Street”
