There are enough big names among the nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2019 that they could open their own museum.

On Tuesday, the venerable hall announced a field of potential inductees that includes Janet Jackson, Radiohead, Def Leppard, Devo, Stevie Nicks, Rage Against the Machine, LL Cool J, The Cure, MC5, Kraftwerk, Roxy Music, John Prine, Todd Rundgren, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, and the Zombies.

Their fate is in the hands of the roughly 1,000 artists, journalists and members of the music industry that make up the voters for the new class, but fans’s votes also count via the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s website.

The winners will be announced in December, and inducted March 29th, 2019 at a ceremony at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center that will be broadcast on HBO.
