154.  Chic

If any artist associated with Disco gets into the Hall next, the current top contender would have to be Chic. Ironically, if people wanted to make the argument that they aren’t a Disco band, a few of us at NIHOF would not completely disagree.

Chic may have arrived a couple years too late to have had a longer run. Commonly associated with Disco, Chic took the fun and dance of Disco and injected R&B. The result was a technically sound band that produced some of the best dance music ever created. Much of their music would later be used as templates for many of the other urban sounds that would emerge years later. Chic’s run at the top was brief, but unlike many of the acts associated with Disco, they achieved respect in the music community. Considering their slew of total nominations, it is obvious that they are massively respected.  However, with the recent indiction of Nile Rodgers, the odds of the rest of the band being inducted has been reduced greatly.

The Bullet Points

  • Eligible Since: Wednesday, 01 January 2003
  • Country of Origin: U.S.A. (New York City), New York)

  • Why they won't get in: They probably won't now that Nile Rodgers has been inducted.
  • Nominated in: 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017
  • Essential Albums: Chic (1977)
    C’est Chic (1978)
    Risque (1979)
