Alice Cooper nominated for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Fifteen artists have been nominated for the 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame including the one and only Alice Cooper!

Artists become eligible for nomination 25 years after the release of their first album or single. Therefore, any artist who released a record after 1985 are eligible, meaning that Alice Cooper has been eligible for nomination for a whopping 16 years! Can you believe it?

Other nominees for the 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, Chic, Neil Diamond, Donovan, Dr. John, the J. Geils Band, LL Cool J, Darlene Love, Laura Nyro, Donna Summer, Joe Tex, Tom Waits and Chuck Willis.

In order to be inducted, an artist must receive at least 50 percent of the vote from the Hall of Fame Committee. In 2010, Genesis, ABBA and Iggy and the Stooges were among the inductees.

The inductees will be announced in December, though the award ceremony won’t be held until March 14 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.
