Hey, what a great institution. Here's the list for this year:

Jackson Browne
the Dells
George Harrison
Prince
Bob Seger
Traffic
ZZ Top


As has been pointed out elsewhere, no females (some think Patti Smith to be more worthy of inclusion than I do), no Gram Parsons, every artist's catalog the property of one of the Big Five (or is it Four already?), ZZ Top has a box set coming out. It's always pointless to say, 'what are they doing inducting artist X when I like artist Y & they're better & they're not being inducted? Artist X SUCKS.' So, in my neverending quest to be pointless, I say, what are they doing inducting BOB SEGER when I like Gram Parsons & he's better & he's not being inducted & BOB SEGER SUCKS? Just asking.
