The 2012 nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame are in and the debate is soon to begin. Every year, the committee selects about five to seven performers to induct. This year nominations featuring the likes of The Beastie Boys, Eric B. and Rakim, The Cure, Donovan, 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 and War.
