We are guessing that the Songwriters Hall of Fame is looking to jump the gun a bit as their scheduled announcement of their finalists coincides with tomorrow’s impending announcement (though it was announced after their press release that the Rock Hall would do their announcement Thursday) from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as to who they intend to name as their finalists.

No matter, as we here at Notinhalloffame.com are ready and able to take a look at the finalists for next year’s Songwriter’s Hall of Fame Class.

The nominees are:

Lionel Bart

Bert Berns

Blondie

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds

It will be a few months, before we learn who will make this next class and although we here at Notinhalloffame.com are not really investigating the possibility of doing a Notinhalloffame.com Songwriters list, we certainly will be paying attention as to who gets in!
