NEW YORK (AP) Stevie Nicks, whos already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Fleetwood Mac, has been nominated for inclusion as a solo artist next year, along with other first-time nominees Def Leppard, Todd Rundgren, Devo, John Prine and Roxy Music.

Nine other artists are returning to the ballot for another try, including Janet Jackson, Radiohead and The Cure.

Generally, about five to seven nominees each year are voted into the hall, located in Cleveland, Ohio. Past inductees and industry experts vote on who gets in, and fans have a ballot, too. Winners are announced in December, with the 34th annual ceremony scheduled for March 29 at Brooklyns Barclays Center.

Nicks was inducted with Fleetwood Mac in 1998. But shes maintained an active solo career, with her best-known songs coming in the 1980s, like Edge of Seventeen, Stand Back and the Tom Petty duet, Stop Draggin My Heart Around.

The highly polished metal of Def Leppard sold tons of CDs back in the 1980s, led by hits like Pour Some Sugar on Me and Photograph.

Rundgren has been overlooked through the years, despite 1970s-era hits like Hello Its Me, I Saw the Light and We Gotta Get You a Woman, and his track record as a producer of others work.

Devo attracted punk-era attention with their theory of deevolution and oddball cover of (I Cant Get No) Satisfaction. They also made hits of their own, including Whip It and Beautiful World.

The artsy British band Roxy Music is best known for their romantic hits More Than This and Love is the Drug. The country-folk artist Prine is a cancer survivor, with songs like Angel From Montgomery and the Iris DeMent duet In Spite of Ourselves in his discography. His new album, The Tree of Forgiveness, is a career highlight.

Rapper and actor LL Cool J and the German electronic band Kraftwerk each received their fifth nomination. The explosive Detroit band MC5 is back for a fourth try, as are the 1960s rockers the Zombies.

Jackson has been nominated the past three years in a row and Rufus (featuring Chaka Kahn) is also a three-time nominee. The Cure, Radiohead and Rage Against the Machine are back for a second try.
