Rock Hall of Fame 2007 !
The members of the U.S. rock band R.E.M. are "honored" to be part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2007. "We're really wretched at looking backwards, so it's an honor that someone took the time to look backward and recognize what we've done in our past," R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe said Monday.R.E.M., which formed in 1980 in Athens, Ga., will be inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Van Halen, Patti Smith, The Ronettes and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five. The ceremony takes place March 12 in New York City.
LOS ANGELES–Dysfunctional rock band Van Halen was named yesterday among new inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, paving the way for an awkward reunion of warring members.Rock band R.E.M., pioneering rappers Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, punk poet Patti Smith and 1960s dreamgirls The Ronettes also made the cut.All will be honoured March 12 at a black-tie ceremony in New York, the main fundraiser for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. Rock acts become eligible for the hall 25 years after their first recording. They often perform at the ceremony, although last year Deborah Harry refused to share the stage with some of her former colleagues in Blondie, and none of the Sex Pistols bothered to show up.
