Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Neil Diamond0 Comments

Diamond is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 26th induction ceremony.

I think it’s great. I’m happy that that they recognized me and my work. Any club that has Chuck Berry and Little Richard and The Everly Brothers is a club that I want to be a part of.

The Stooges0 Comments

The group is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 25th induction ceremony. Iggy Pop:

I didn’t think I’d ever see the inside of that neighborhood actually. Probably because the group had a very long outsider history, going back way back before there was ever a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It took us a lot longer to get some sort of general acceptance than probably most people

The group is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 25th induction ceremony. Benny Andersson:

I take it as a true honor. We are and were sort of a solid pop band, and there is a difference between pop music and rock ‘n’ roll music. Being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame wasn’t on the map, really, for us. On the other hand, there are a lot of pop acts already inducted, so I don’t mind. I’m not the one who inducted myself, you know?

He’s been instrumental in pioneering a whole blueprint that was totally unique to him and . . . has been such a blueprint for everyone else to learn from, No one’s ever equaled what Jeff’s done. He really shifted the whole sound and face of electric guitar music.

Womack is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 24th induction ceremony.

This is just the greatest, I’m extremely happy. My very first thought was — I wish I could call Sam Cooke and share this moment with him. This is just about as exciting to me as being able to see Barack Obama become the first Black President of the United States of America!

The group is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 24th induction ceremony. Anthony Gourdine:

What we did was follow our dream. I’ve been blessed by God for 50 years to do what I like to do and have people pay me for it. I’ve never worked a day in my life. People will say to me, ‘Well, you’re singing.’ I just tell them, ‘That ain’t work.’

The group is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 24th induction ceremony. Flea:

When a person gets rocking to their music, everything else disappears, and that person is just one with the rock. It is an inexplicable, awesome thing, and I bow down to it.

The group is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 24th induction ceremony. Eminem:

Two turntables and a microphone, that’s all it took to change the world. Three kings from Queens made rap music in the b-boy stance a global phenomenon.
