The Official Press Release goes on the give brief details on each of the nominees.
This list is so much better than last years list. I am pleased as punch to see the great Laura Nyro, Darlene Love and The Chantels on the list! I think they took the thread here discussing last years nominess to heart. This year they even ask what we think and allow comments on their very own blog here.
So what do you think of the new crop of inductees?
