Rock Hall,
Dennis said: The first reaction, I ve gotta be honest with you, is that I thought, It s not gonna include me. Funny enough, I got a message on the
LIONHEART group message from [the person] who does all our graphics, the artwork, and he said to me, Have you looked online? You ve been nominated with the band.
The current
LIONHEART guitarist continued: I ve never had a lot of luck with
MAIDEN and certain things that have gone on over the years, like the gold discs from the first album. I never actually got what I was due. I think I got two [or] three gold discs, and there should have been about 20. And I never actually get anything, you know. It was only down to
Former Iron Maiden, Foo Fighters Members Left Off Rock Hall List

Since then, her anthems of resilience and empowerment have inspired a legion of loyal fans while influencing virtually every R&B artist of the last 20 years, including Aaliyah, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, and SZA. Her career dominance reveals impressive longevity – each of her 13 albums have reached the Top 10, earning nine Grammys and selling more than 50 million albums.
Blige signed with Uptown Records in the early 1990s, becoming the label’s youngest and first female artist. Her debut singlehandedly created the genre of hip-hop soul and produced number one R&B hits “Real Love” and “You Remind Me.” Her image – oversized jerseys, backwards baseball hats, and combat boots – introduced a new look to R&B music, and her lyrics embraced a realness that connected with fans, especially women. Her mid-1990s hits with the Notorious
JAY-Z, Foo Fighters, Tina Turner, Dionne Warwick and Iron Maiden are among 16 nominees who are eligible for the 2021 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
