N.W.A. & Janet Jackson Nominated For Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

N.W.A. and Janet Jackson are among the
nominees for the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame.

N.W.A. and Janet Jackson are among the list
of nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame's class of 2016. The nominations come
as both acts have recently gotten back into
the spotlight, as N.W.A.'s biopic, "Straight
Outta Compton," was a box-office smash and
as Janet Jackson just released her first album
in over 7 years, Unbreakable .
In order to be eligible, a nominee's debut
album has to have been released at least 25
years ago. This year marks N.W.A.'s fourth
nomination. As "Straight Outta Compton" has
renewed the focus on their lasting legacy, they
should have a good shot.
Both Jackson and N.W.A. will have some
tough competition spanning many different
genres. Check out the full list of nominees
below, and head to the Hall of Fame
website to vote for your top 5 picks. The fan-
selected inductees for the class of 2016 will
