NEW YORK - Metallica, Run-DMC and guitarist Jeff Beck are among this year's nominees for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"Queen of Rockabilly" Wanda Jackson, R&B star Bobby Womack, Disco-era groove band Chic, doo-woppers Little Anthony and the Imperials, punk rockers the Stooges and the socially conscious band War are also on the list of candidates to be added to the hall during a ceremony in April.
The inductees will be selected by more than 500 voters.
Only five of the nine artists will make the cut.
To be eligible for induction into the hall, an act must have put out its first single or album at least 25 years ago.
That means this year's nominees had to get their first material released no later than 1983.
