After all of the public complaints about the Hall no longer nominating older acts, they did seem to make a concentrated effort to reach back at least as far as the 70s for more nominations [[this was Chicago's first nomination). They don't seem to want to reach back to the '60s anymore. Dionne Warwick, Lesley Gore and rockin' Connie Francis don't look likely to ever be inducted. That may even be the case for The Marvelettes.
Which five acts would you vote for if you had a ballot? I would select Chic, Chicago, Janet Jackson, Chaka Khan, and The Spinners.
