Although the Faces derived from the Small Faces and contained similar members, the two were widely different bands and we find it curious they were inducted together (we had them listed separately before they were inducted). Regardless, this an induction that includes some heavyweight musicians who are certainly HOF worthy, and in the case of Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, generated a second induction for them.

In a previous entry we mentioned that Metallica’s entry to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame we questioned whether this could be the catalyst to induct Slayer as the second member of the “Big Four of Thrash Metal”. We still think they have the best shot of the remaining four, but if they look towards innovation than Anthrax may be the one they turn to.

Fans of Popular music often try to emulate the singing styles of their favorite performers. Kate Bush had legions of fans, but many of them probably never tried to sing like her. They knew it couldn’t be done.

We have no real belief that the Fall will get inducted into the Hall, but what if it just a way to honor the legendary John Peel by inducting one of his favorite bands? Okay, we don’t think that could happen either.
