First time nominees are: the Moody Blues, Dire Straits, Eurythmics, Judas Priest, Kate Bush, Nina Simone, Radiohead, Rage Against Machine and Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
Nominated for a second or more time are: the Zombies, Rufus (Chaka Khan), Link Wray, the J. Geils Band, the Meters, the Cars, Bon Jovi, Depeche Mode, LL Cool J, and MC5.
The Cars have to be in there, as far as I'm concerned. I'd also vote for Dire Straits. Not so sure about the rest of them.
