Janet Jackson, Steve Miller, Chicago and The Cars are among the first-time nominees being considered for induction next year in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Cheap Trick, Los Lobos, Chaka Khan and James Brown's famed backup band The J.B.'s also are new to the ballot. Eight of the 15 potential honorees are first-timers, although none are in their first year of eligibility.

More than 800 artists and members of the music industry vote on the inductees, who will be announced in December. Fans can also vote on the rock hall's website toward a "fan's ballot" that will also be counted.

Artists back on the ballot for another try are Chic, Deep Purple, N.W.A., Nine Inch Nails, the Smiths, the Spinners and Yes.
 
Deep Purple are the #1 deserving of that list, followed by Yes, Steve Miller (I hate him, but he does deserve it), and Chicago. Everybody else is newer and can wait a little while longer, although I do love Los Lobos.

(didn't see James Brown's backing band, but don't they belong in the Sidemen Hall of Fame instead?)

Surprised Steve Miller isn't in there. A long list of hits, a unique style and sound and great tunes... I agree with your selections.
