Another possible inductee for this year is Notorious B.I.G. aka Christopher Wallace – who’s also a first time nominee, among 15 other contenders including Houston.
Other first time nominees in this year’s class also include, Dave Matthews Band, Motörhead, Pat Benatar, the Doobie Brothers, Thin Lizzy, T. Rex and Soundgarden.
