RnR Hall Of Fame Announcements
 
Well, here are the latest inductees into the rock n roll hall of fame.

The Stooges, ABBA, Jimmy Cliff, Genesis, and the Hollies make up the 2010 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Billboard reports. Nominees that didn't make the cut include Kiss, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Donna Summer, and Darlene Love.

Record mogul David Geffen and songwriters Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry, Jesse Stone, Mort Shuman and Otis Blackwell were also inducted in non-performing categories.
Talking to Rolling Stone, Iggy Pop of the Stooges said, "We've been rejected seven times, and we would have set a record, I think, if it happened again. It started to feel like Charlie Brown and the football. I had about two hours of a strong emotional reaction after hearing the news. It felt like vindication. Then I kind of scratched my head and thought, 'Am I still cool? Or is that over now?'"
The induction ceremony takes place March 15 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, and will be broadcast live on Fuse.

The Hollies were the definition of mediocre. Yet they make it in and Donna
Summer doesn't.

jennthebenn 12.15.2009 01:09 PM

Also: Iggy with the fucking Peanuts reference.

The Harder They Come was a decent movie, and a decent soundtrack. but does one record make a HALL OF FAME worthy career?

shit No.

They are in talks to see if Peter gabriel will reunite with the Genesis old farts and play at the hall of fame induction.

There's a lot of shit in there already. A majority thereof, in fact.

Glice 12.15.2009 02:00 PM

Can I just point out that Kiss and RHCP are the two shittest bands extant? Thanks.

jon boy 12.15.2009 02:00 PM

KISS are terrible, but RHCP at least has one of the best guitarists ever (Frusciante) in its ranks.

I'm kind of surprised by this. I know you're into a lot of things that I can't abide, and I really hate to say this but... are you being ironic?
