If Wings gets inducted will they give Paul a 3rd induction? Considering Paul McCartney has a solid hall of fame-deserving solo career already. I hope that's the case, Sir Paul deserves it

McCartney wouldn't be included.

That's ridiculous. What's the rationale for inducting Klinghoffer?

See? My point exactly. AFAIK, he'll be the youngest member of the Hall of Fame at the time of induction (although i'm sure someone else can double-check that for me)

Yes indeed. Here's the full story:

The Small Faces/The Faces Inductees:

Steve Marriott (Humble Pie)
Ronnie Lane
Ian McLagan
Kenney Jones (The Who)
Rod Stewart
Ron Wood (The Rolling Stones)

The 2012 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees

The Small Faces/The Faces

01. Steve Marriott (The Small Faces)
02. Kenney Jones (The Small Faces/The Faces)
03. Ronnie Lane (The Small Faces/The Faces)
04. Ian McLaglan (The Small Faces/The Faces)
05. Rod Stewart (The Faces)
06. Ronnie Wood (The Faces)

This is bullshit. The band should have no say in who gets inducted. It should be up to the Hall. They can take band recommendations, like the Rolling Stones asking for Ian Stewart to be included, or The Who asking for Kenney Jones to be excluded (I don't know if that happened), but a band saying "This is who's in and who's not" should never happen.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Adds Six Backing Groups to the Class of 2012:

The Comets, the Crickets, the Blue Caps, the Famous Flames, the Miracles and the Midnighters will be inducted

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will make up for past oversights at this year's induction ceremony by admitting the backing groups of six first-generation rock stars. The honored groups include the Blue Caps (Gene Vincent), The Comets (Bill Haley), the Crickets (Buddy Holly), the Famous Flames (James Brown), the Midnighters (Hank Ballard) and the Miracles (Smokey Robinson).

In each of these cases, the backing group failed to get into the Hall of Fame at the same time as their frontman - sometimes causing a great deal of controversy. The Hall of Fame's failure to induct the Miracles along with Smokey Robinson in 1987 caused a particularly large uproar. Hall of Fame rules state that artists are eligible for induction 25 years after their debut release. At the time, Robinson had been a solo artist for only 14 years.

The six groups will be inducted April 14th at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's annual ceremony at Cleveland's Public Hall. “These Inductees are pioneers in the development of the music we call rock and roll,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's president and CEO Joel Peresman said in a statement. “As part of our mission to recognize the most impactful, innovative and influential artists in rock, the committee brought forth these six groups that belong in the Hall of Fame.”

Beastie Boys, Donovan, Guns N’ Roses, Laura Nyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Small Faces/The Faces, Freddie King, Don Kirshner, Cosimo Matassa, Tom Dowd and Glyn Johns are also being inducted at this year's ceremony.

He's being inducted for what he will accomplish in the future with RHCP. Just like Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

Klinghoffer and Nyro. Least deserving inductees ever.

Any word on when Sampson is going to post his critique of this year's inductees?

If the Rock Hall wanted Wanda Jackson and Freddie King in so badly why not just give them automatic induction in the main performers category instead of inducting them as early influence? Lie! Tell us they did get enough votes, or induct more than 5 artists in the main performers category.

Billboard and Wikipedia are both saying that Gilby Clarke will also be inducted with Guns N' Roses.
