Phil Collins, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey, Oasis, Pink, Iron Maiden, Sade, Shakira, Wu-Tang Clan, and Jeff Buckley are among 17 acts in the running. Also nominated: the Black Crowes, Melissa Etheridge, Billy Idol, INXS, Joy Division\/New Order, New Edition, and Luther Vandross. Ten of them, including Collins, Hill, and Pink, are first-time nominees, though all have been eligible before. &#8220;This diverse list of talented nominees recognizes the ever-evolving faces and sounds of rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll and its continued impact on youth culture,&#8221; says the Hall of Fame&#8217;s chair, John Sykes.&#13;\n                                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"storyParagraph\">&#13;<br \/>\n                                        Inductees will be announced in April, along with recipients of three side honors, with the ceremony set for fall. Not everyone may be flattered at their nomination. Iron Maiden&#8217;s Bruce Dickinson has in the past dismissed the Hall as a &#8220;complete load of bollocks,&#8221; and Oasis&#8217; Liam Gallagher has been similarly dismissive\u2014though he&#8217;s also joked he&#8217;d happily show up if honored.&#13;\n                                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"storyParagraph\">&#13;<br \/>\n                                        A vote in could bring more drama on induction night. Collins might make a rare live appearance, for example; the Black Crowes could reunite with estranged drummer Steve Gorman; or a Joy Division\/New Order induction might coax ex-bassist Peter Hook back for the first time since 2007.
