The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has officially announced next year's inductees: Rush, Public Enemy, Heart, Randy Newman, Donna Summer and Albert King will all join the class of 2013, with Summer, who passed away this May, and King, who died in 1992, earning the honor posthumously. Lou Adler and Quincy Jones will both receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award for non-performers.

"It's a terrific honor and we'll show up smiling," Rush's singer and bassist, Geddy Lee, tells Rolling Stone. "It made my mom happy, so that's worth it." Lee is especially happy for Rush's army of hardcore fans. "It was a cause they championed," he says. "I'm very relieved for them and we share this honor with them, for sure."

I didn't realize Limbaugh played.

Finally

Surprised Deep Purple didn't get in.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

It's about fucking time.

[Brock]

Finally we can stop hearing about that.

The oaks are far too greedy...

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

“We are honored to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The 3 of us are especially appreciative of our loyal fans whose support and dedication has gone a long way to making this possible. P.S. And special thanks to our moms for voting 6000 times!” – Alex, Geddy, & Neil

[Bump]

someday Justin Beiber will be in the Rock N Roll HOF

[cosmo20002]

I didn't realize Limbaugh played.

Maybe they made him an honorary member due to his enthusiastic drug use.

[Reerun_KC]

someday Justin Beiber will be in the Rock N Roll HOF

they should, if they let Rush in, Beiber should walk in first ballot.

[cosmo20002]

Finally we can stop hearing about that.

And start hearing about KISS. I say "Beth" disqualifies them.

[penguinz]

More proof that the Rock n Roll HoF is joke.

[Demonpenz]

first band to feature a woman lead singer.

[Agent V]

Finally we can stop hearing about that.

Exactly. They've received this meaningless accolade. Now everyone can shut up.

[morphius]

you can sing like fingernails on a chalkboard and still get rewarded, who knew...

[Agent V]

And start hearing about KISS. I say "Beth" disqualifies them.

Somebody said Boston should be in too. They and their one album or whatever.

[alpha_omega]

.... I say "Beth" disqualifies them.

Sarcasm or serious?

[whoman69]

The Rock and Roll HOF is the worst out there. It is the Hall of very good and the Hall of unknown people who some famous artists may know and were influenced by.

[MahiMike]

The oaks are far too greedy...

...they take up all the light...

(come on, everyone!)

[BoneKrusher]

Yeah, oh Yeah!

[stevenidol]

How would Bob Dylan have got in?

[Lzen]

The Rock and Roll HOF is a joke. Obviously, Rush should have been in many, many years ago. They have inducted many acts over the years that were complete head scratchers. Meanwhile Rush, despite whether or not you like their music, was a very big part of rock music for decades.

[Brock]

Heart probably deserves it more than Rush does.

[Frazod]

Have they inducted the Dixie Chicks yet? Fuck those clowns.

[teedubya]

[BlackHelicopters]

Rush and LSD. Does not get better.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

You can choose a simple guide, in some celestial voice. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice!

[KC_Lee]

The pools of poison, the scarlet mist that spills over into rage.

[Fish]

Maybe those Mayans were right after all...

[htismaqe]

Rush and LSD. Does not get better.

Holy shit, you can't be serious.

[Frazod]

Oh, and I'm not opposed to Rush being inducted - they're not one of my personal favorites, but I recognize their contributions, and unlike many other inductees, like Johnny Cash, ABBA and Michael Jackson, they actually... play.... ROCK.

I'm mainly just opposed to an organization declaring itself to be the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of Fame that enshrines bands/individuals that have nothing whatsoever to do with rock, while ignoring great bands that embody rock.

Again, fuck these clowns.

[stevieray]

I don't care what anyone says..LaVilla Strangiato kicks ass.

Yeah, it's kind of silly really.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

My brother from another mother, who curb kicked me on Facebook. No matter what you do, I'll always love you for posts like these.

[siberian khatru]

I don't care what anyone says..LaVilla Strangiato kicks ass.

Amen

[Cornstock]

...they take up all the light...

(come on, everyone!)

But the oaks can't help their feelings if they like the way they're made.

p.s.(Those ****ing communist socialist pseudo-Utopian maples. This is like straight out of Kurt Vonnegut's story Harrison Bergeron)

p.s.s.(watch this, its long but really good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvqsv1pPSbg )

[Cornstock]

To go super obscure on you hardcore Rushians:

"On my ship the "Rocinante," wheeling through the galaxies..."

Far out man.

[Easy 6]

Posting to post, pleading the fiff.

Priests...temple...blah...blah...blah

[fan4ever]

Just heard Randy Newman is inducted as well...WTF?

I think I'll start a Scotch Hall of Fame, and put Mountain Dew in it! :drool:

I've often wondered why George Brett has not been inducted into the Pro Football HOF.

[Frazod]

I've often wondered why George Brett has not been inducted into the Pro Football HOF.

Or Arnold Palmer, for that matter.

[WhiteWhale]

Randy Newman?!!?!

Okay look.. I'll support hip/hop bands for the rock and roll HOF because hip hop is something that has been born out of rock and roll. It's backbeat driven music much like rock music. I let that fly.

Randy fuckin' Newman? For real?

[rad]

If Public Enemy made it into the RRHOF, so should Anthrax.

[Dartgod]

Randy Newman?!!?!

Randy ****in' Newman? For real?

Bullshit. Rock and Roll was born from blues, but that doesn't mean that Albert King belongs in the ROCK and ROLL HOF.

[Dayze]

the fact that The Oak Ridge Boys aren't in the RRHOF is a tragedy.

[seclark]

heart deserves it.
sec

[Brock]

Bullshit. Rock and Roll was born from blues, but that doesn't mean that Albert King belongs in the ROCK and ROLL HOF.

Does Stevie Ray Vaughn belong in the rock and roll hof?

[Frazod]

heart deserves it.
sec

Definitely. And so does Rush. But that doesn't forgive their overall fail.

[Dartgod]

Does Stevie Ray Vaughn belong in the rock and roll hof?

Yes. Point taken.
