Rocker Gene Simmons is furious his band Kiss has been excluded from a new shortlist of acts to be considered for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year. The Crazy Nights hit-makers released their first album in 1974 - thereby fulfilling the requirement that rules eligible acts must have released their first album at least 25 years prior to a nomination. And Simmons can't understand why Kiss has been left off the new shortlist - which includes guitarist Jeff Beck, singer Bobby Womack and Metallica.
