Metallica Inducted Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

Today Metallica were entered into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, in Cleveland, Ohio.

Flea of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers described Metallica as “fucking rad” before inviting the band onto the stage. The other 2009 inductees were Jeff Beck, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Bobby Womack and Run-D.M.C.



I've got to admit that I'd never heard of Little Anthony & the Imperials before now, or at least they've escaped my memory. A quick search on Google helped me discover who they were... I guess chances are I've heard a song or two by them at some point in an old movie or something.

Clearly there is a large variety in style and sound of the artists that are inducted into the Hall Of Fame. I was curious as to who may be missing from the hallowed museum's walls. A quick look into the inductee archives revealed a few glaring omissions of artists who are surely worthy for a place in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Nirvana, Iron Maiden, Green Day and Flea's band the Chili's are just a few of rock's elite who have yet to be inducted.
