Cyndi Lauper, whose two biggest hits were written with Philadelphians, is also nominated, along with OutKast, the White Stripes, Mariah Carey, the Black Crowes, and more.

"The Twist" star Chubby Checker was part of one era of popular music the Rock & Roll Hall of fame should ignore.

Billy Idol, the Black Crowes and Maná will also appear on the ballot for the first time, alongside Oasis, Joe Cocker, Mariah Carey and others.
