Description: Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five (Kid Creole, Cowboy, Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Mr. Ness, Raheim)

Quote by Grandmaster Flash: This is bigger than me. Ts induction is total acceptance by one of the most prestigious music associations in the world. This induction says that for the decades of work that was put in which later co-created an entire culture, they honor us. Itâs a wonderful feeling to be remembered as one of the architects that pioneered an idea that whole world fell madly in love with. It is called hip-hop.

http://www.grandmast erflash.com

R.E.M. (Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe)

Quote by Michael Stipe: "R.E.M. and myself in particular are really terrible at looking backward," R.E.M.'s lead singer, Michael Stipe, told The Associated Press via phone from London. "We kind of as a band continually look forward so it's really fantastic that someone, especially the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, are looking backward to recognize the work that we've done."

"I'm just really honored that they thought of us," he added.

Eddie Van Halen: âItâs a privilege and an honor,â? Eddie says. âAnd outside of that, we donât know what the hell is going on. . . . Hey, Sammy might not show up on time â because he canât drive fifty-five. Sorry, bad joke.â?

For his part, Hagar â who split with the band in 1996 and clashed with Eddie on a 2004 reunion tour â says he will be there. âEveryone wants to see a good train wreck, but Iâd rather see a beautiful flight,â? he says. âIâd have no problem sharing a stage with David.â?
