The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced on Tuesday it has whittled down the original list of 16 nominees to six artists that will be inducted in 2014.
Grunge pioneers Nirvana made it into the hall on the band's first try after becoming the youngest act ever to be nominated for entry. 1980s pop duo Hall and Oates and tongue-wagging rockers KISS were also selected for entry, with solo artists Peter Gabriel, Cat Stevens and Linda Ronstadt completing next year's shortlist.
