Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Announces Presenters

The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Foundation just announced the artists who will induct this year's honorees at a ceremony on March 10, 2008, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City:

Leonard Cohen will be inducted by Lou Reed

The Dave Clark Five (Dave Clark, Lenny Davidson, Rick Huxley, Denis Payton and Mike Smith) will be inducted by Tom Hanks

Madonna will be inducted by Justin Timberlake

John Mellencamp will be inducted by Billy Joel

Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff will be inducted by Jerry Butler

The Ventures (Bob Bogle, Nokie Edwards, Gerry McGee, Mel Taylor, Don Wilson) will be inducted by John Fogerty

Little Walter will be inducted by Ben Harper

The 2008 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees were chosen by the 600 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after their first recording is released. John Mellencamp and The Ventures are among the artists slated to perform at the event which will air live on March 10th on VH1 Classic and streamed live by Best Buy on BestBuy.com.

In addition to being honored at the ceremony on March 10, 2008, each artist who is inducted is commemorated within the I.M. Pei-designed museum in Cleveland, Ohio. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame displays the signature of each inductee inscribed in glass. In addition, there is an exhibit of artifacts from this year's inductees, and a multi-media film presentation with highlights from each artist's career. The exhibit on this year's inductees will open in March, 2008 and will run for one year.

seems like it will be quite boring although lou reed is there

[lemon]

wooo leonard cohen

[redh0tchilip3pp]

Good to see Ben Harper on the list.

[dieloony2]

Cohen/lou reed is interesting. Tom Hanks?

[ZeppelinFloyd]

ALICE COOPER needs to be in there!!!

[AU79 XY]

Justin Timberlake inducting Madonna?

Yep Tom Hanks. Its shows what a load of crap this R&R hall of fame is.

Most the artists in there dont deserve to be there, while others who have been integral to the development of music get overlooked for the likes of Robie Williams

[Travis^Co]

Not sure how Tom Hanks fits in there to present, but hey what the hell. I'll be looking forward to the Ventures and Cohen getting inducted.

[thejester]

good to see fogerty will be presenting

[matalliam]

i thought that metallica were getting inducted this year?

[captainperoxide]

Madonna? Ma-fu*king-donna?
And inducted by Justin Timberlake?

Wtf, this ain't no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

[TheIceCreamMan]

Can we please have a separate Hall of Fame for NON-rock artists? Inducting Madonna into a Rock and Roll hall of fame is very deceiving.

Leonard Cohen being inducted by Lou Reed is the only thing worthy of note, IMO.

[Ace Diddle Dung]

VERY true! He really changed rock 'n' roll.

[pouyannassiri]

is metallica gonna be inducted this year? cause they deserve it

[Silverstein X]

where are all the real ROCK stars?

none of these presenters or inductees come close to rock!
madonna, justin timberlake?
What happpned to the hall of fame?

the Tom Hanks thing probably has to do with "That Thing You Do"

the Cohen/Reed thing sounds exciting

checked.

[KyuNaynne]

Madonna???
Isn't it supposed to be ROCK N ROLL hall of fame?

[This1GoesTo11]

I'm not a fan of Madonna's music, personally. BUT I do recognize her contribution as an artist and I respect her. How she must feel, as a groundbreaking artist, to be inducted by such a mediocre piss-ant like Justin Timberlake. It's almost insulting.

[bmarlatt1685]

pouyannassiri wrote:

I agree. Same with Alice Cooper, but now the Hall of Fame is all about "breaking down music barriers" by inducting rap and pop groups too (i.e. Grand Master Flash and now Madonna) instead of inducting true rock and roll talent. Just look at how long it took Black Sabbath, and Lynyrd Skynyrd to get inducted after they became eligible. As for Metallica since it's '08 and their first album was released in '83 this year they would be eligible for consideration in next years induction. I believe the hall of fame nominates and votes you in, then inducts the following year.

rofl...just stop callin it the rock hall of fame and just call it the "any music besides classical, opera, and country hall of fame"...cuz thats what it is.

[otherkid]

Its said that the same Hall which has Eric Clapton in there three times is now putting Madonna and using Justin Timberlake to put her in there. This is the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of Fame. Not the MUSIC hall of fame

Metallica should be in there, and they probably will be next year. I think they are just trying to get as many artists as they can because the talent is starting to dwindle down

[ViperScale]

The rock and roll hall of fame is a joke. They have a collection of stuff from pop singers in their building. I was like wtf where is a match when i need it.

[metdethslaythrx]

metallica should be on there. not madonna. metallica changed so much more things in music than madonna did.

[Sean-Man]

**** metallica, IRON MAIDEN should be in there, that band has influenced bands in the last 3 decades, including metallica. and whats with all this madonna crap?

[metdethslaythrx]

^^hell yes! we need maiden and metallica!

[RATM forever]

Madonna will be inducted by Justin Timberlake

The Sex Pistols were right, this thing is a piss stain

[Breakfast_Rock]

Still no induction for Chicago or Rush, yet they induct pop artists. Meh, I think it's time to send them some snail mail:

q: To whom should I direct further questions about the induction process?
All aspects of the induction process are handled by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. It can be reached at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, Second Floor, New York, NY 10104. The Foundation does not have e-mail available.

[JEbassist182]

this is kind of embarassing. so now what? do they have to take one of the greatest bands in history out like the Beatles in order to put...Madonna in there?

[ozzynator]

This is a ****ing joke !!! Madonna !!!! Justin !!! WTF is wrong with them ... this is supposed to be a ****ing rock and roll hall of fame not some other gay music hall of fame. A lot of awesome bands should be there instead of madonna, i agree with inducting metallica, alice cooper and maiden. These are the true metal pioneers !!!! Fucking disgrace ....

[Sgt. Pepper]

The rock and roll hall is fame is without doubt the POP hall of fame...it fails to recognise true musicianship, influence or even fan wishes it would seem.

Hundreds of thousands of signatures were gained to induct Rush into the hall of fame but even in light of this they say it is not on their agenda and won't be happening.

Sure they have obvious bands in (Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Led Zep.) but they're something strange and pathetic bout the Hall of fame, but still it's managed to keep going cause it clearly is getting interest from somewhere.

Mad, mad world

[guitarlad89]

This is bullshit. Motley crue sucks, so i dont agree there, but Rush, Alice Cooper, and Black Sabbath have waited WAAAAAY too long. R&R H of F really went downhill

[Jonny616]

Madonna?! pah!

[David_Bowie=GOD]

This list is mostly bad, a few good people but seriously, Madonna!? What did madonna do for music anyways? All she did was annoy the hell out of 2 generations and have a thousand babies during that time...

[David_Bowie=GOD]

also... why is Rush not in the hall!? They are one of the best selling bands ever, and they did way more for music than Madonna

[Sgt. Pepper]

True true

[cap'n curry]

of that list, the ventures are the only ones i feel truley deserve it

[DarthKarth]

as much as i hate it, metallica DOES deserve to be in there. however, to make up for madonna, the following bands need to be added:

alice cooper
rush
iron maiden
journey
ted nugent.

and thats just to make up for madonna. we're not even going to talk about michael jackson, the greatful dead, ramones, prince, sex pistols, and grandmaster flash...

[Insomnia57]

I dont see how either Madonna or Justin Timberlake deserve to be anywhere near there

[ebbbaaa]

WHY IS MADONNA IN THERE AND RUSH ISN'T?!

I thought you had to play rock to get in the rock and roll hall of fame!

the writer of this is really dumb and yes the rock and roll hall of fame should have rock. like last year, vr played for vh and it rocked, this year madonna will get the honors despite beig a pop star. i wish true rock talent would be considered rather than whos popular by the media. come on, it took sabbath so long ad they started metal!

I couldn't agree more with you. And whoever it was that brought up Jeff Lynne (More for ELO though), Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Chicago is also right. They should be shoe ins especially at this point, but hey, what does Rock Hall of Fame know nowadays?

metallica sucks nowadays, but they back in the day they made good enough music to be one of the best metal bands. so yeah i think they deserve to be in there...

i CAN'T believe madonna is being inducted..... and i've only heard of a couple of the other people that are being inducted... what a sad list...

"Ballots are then sent to 500 rock experts who evaluate the candidates and vote on who should be inducted. The performers that receive the highest number of votes and more than 50 percent of the vote are inducted." - wikipedia

wow...

Rock and Roll, is not metal, and it is just a name...
Madonna has sold more records than probably all of those put to together and is way more iconic...
WHICH IS THE POINT...

Congratualtions to Leonard Cohen...
He is a truely gifted poet/song writer
If anyone can listen to "famous blue raincoat"
and not want to weep; they are stronger than me

^^Though I'll give you Iron Maiden are still pretty active...but I do not think on (still) such a wide mass appeal...

how did madonna get in??!?!?!? this is the ROCK N ROLL hall of fame. not the pop hall of fame. wrong date rong place blondie!

[0h The Horror]

My god. The simple fact that they would include Justin Timberlake or anyone like him in this sort of honor just proves how far this world has fallen.

[GN'R Dude]

At least John Mellencamp will be there to perform. I just hope its not a song about America... but it probably will be.

[Red Death]

What. The. HELL is Madonna doing at the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame?! She's about as rock n' roll as a terd lying in the street! And Justin Timberlake?! What the hell is this world becoming...

good list but....wheres sabbath?????

[maniacmax92]

this year was obviously not the best in rock hall of fame history, next year should be great though. Chili Peppers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, great stuff to come. That also means that there will be an allstar blues jam for Stevie Ray and that the Chili Peppers may have a 25th anniversary tour. Should be a good 2009.

[maniacmax92]

i also feel that some old already eligible should be in instead of hmmm MADONNA(WTF is she in for?). Rush isn't in, Johnny Winter, one of the most influential blues players in history. The Hall of fame is sliding and needs to be picked up somehow. We'll see how it all plays out in the end.

[Spankey]

The Ventures? thats Wierd, good band, but still.
this is one crappy list though.

[thewalrus77]

i agree completely thats bull shit that madonna and justin timberlake have anything to do with rock and roll

You do realize this is the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of Fame right? Who gives a damn how many records Madonna sold...and every single one of those bands have had more than a solid 5 years. Did the Dave Clark Five have a solid 5 years worth of good music??? I doubt it, but lo and behold...they get in.

By the way, I'd add Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, and Deep Purple to that list as well. However the RnRHOF is a joke...it's not voted on by the fans so it has pretty much zero credibility.

[bonjgday]

Madonna made it in... Inducted by Justin Timberlake...
She must have given the comitee all blow-jobs.
Why not the Beastie Boys? As much as I hate them they deserve to be in the hall of fame WAAYYY more than Madonna.

[BlackArmor]

I'm happy for Cohen and The Ventures, but bands like Yes, Rush and others alike deserve a spot there more than The Dave Clark Five and Madonna

[israels_son]

Why all the Tom Hanks hate? All he is doing is inducting someone.

How long does the band have to wait before becoming a contender.

I hate the Sex Pistols but they are absolute rock icons. So are the Ramones and Prince. And do you even know who the Grateful Dead are? They are more than deserving of their place.

That said every band you named should also go in there.

[steppsteph]

Timberlake, Hanks and Madonna really make it obvious what pile of shit this is. I'm intrigued though by the thought of what they might say up on stage.

[genresrforposer]

"Madonna has sold more records than probably all of those put to together and is way more iconic...

Well no, but actually that is a great representation of the exact OPPOSITE of what Rock n' Roll is about.

Clearly, Johnny Rotten was right about at least one thing.

[jhornberger]

Could a representative of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame please come forward and publicly comment why Rush has not been inducted yet.
