About a month ago the 2012 nominees were announced. They are:
Beastie Boys
The Cure
Donovan
Eric B. & Rakim
Guns 'N Roses
Heart
Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
Freddie King
Laura Nyro
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Rufus with Chaka Khan
The Small Faces/The Faces
The Spinners
Donna Summer
War
I had to look up Freddie, Rufus and The Faces, but otherwise I knew the folks.
Still, STILL no recognition of Gram Parsons, Kraftwerk, Roxy Music, Tim Buckley, or Jethro Tull. Pleasantly many of the eligible female candidates I mentioned earlier are now represented (Joan Jett, Heart, Nyro, and Donna Summers). Still waiting on the following artists to boost the female numbers:
Richard and Linda Thompson
Janet Jackson
Linda Ronstadt
Joan Baez
Dionne Warwick
Whitney Houston
Sonic Youth
The Bangles
Cyndi Lauper
The Eurythmics
The B-52s
Sinead O'Connor
The Pixies
So since my favorites aren't available let's just give it to the four ladies and...Guns n Roses. Or Beastie Boys.
