Rush and Deep Purple are among the nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's class of 2013, according to Rolling Stone.

The list, unveiled late Wednesday night  also includes Albert King, Chic, Donna Summer, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kraftwerk, the Marvelettes, the Meters, N.W.A., Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Procul Harum, Public Enemy and Randy Newman. The five acts who get the most votes will be inducted next April 18th at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

For the first time, the public will get to vote alongside other artists, music historians and industry insiders. Fans can vote from now until December 5th at RollingStone.com for the nominees they'd like to see inducted.

The top five acts compiled from fans' votes will be submitted on a "fan's ballot" and will count as one of the more than 600 ballots that determine the inductees. The results will be announced in mid-December.

Personally...I'm voting for RUSH, HEART and DEEP PURPLE.  

Though, knowing it's more of a MUSIC Hall of Fame than ROCK N ROLL, I'm unsure who'll get in.

 

and...during the debate last night, there was a movie trailer for Stephen Spielbergs new film. LINCOLN.

 

Pretty cool.

K.C.-ya!
