KISS, Deep Purple and Yes are among the nominees announced Wednesday for the 2014 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Rolling Stone revealed the full list, which also includes Nirvana, Hall & Oates, The Replacements, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Chic, Peter Gabriel, LL Cool J, N.W.A., Link Wray, the Meters, Linda Ronstadt, Cat Stevens, and the Zombies.
For the second consecutive year, the public gets to vote alongside the artists, historians and music industry insiders of the Rock Hall voting body.
The public has the opportunity to vote for the five nominees they believe to be most deserving of induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The top five artists, as selected by the public, will comprise a “fans’ ballot” that will be tallied along with the other ballots to choose the 2014 inductees, who will be announced soon.

In order to be eligible for this year's ballot, artists or bands need to have released their first single or album in 1988 or earlier.
KISS will resume their Monster world tour with a series of shows in Japan this month.
