Last September B.I.G.’s first album, Ready To Die, became eligible. The inducted musicians were chosen from a list of 16 finalists including Pat Benatar, Dave Matthews, Kraftwerk, MC5, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Todd Rundgren, Soundgarden, Thin Lizzy, and Judas Priest. Their fans will have to wait at least another year for Rock Hall validation.
