The last 50s-associated artists to be inducted were several backing bands in 2012. The last 60s-associated artists to be inducted were the Zombies in 2019. (Proper induction, not being snuck in a back door.) Can we assume that the Hall is done with adding acts that are primarily associated with those decades?

I'd imagine The Monkees will get inducted before Jennifer Lopez and Lil Wayne ... but still probably after John Mayer

The Monkees are still the devil to these Rock Hall guys.

Also Silver Apples won't get any acknowledgement in a million years.

Wonder if Wenner was the main anti-Monkees zealot?

I recorded this from ABC a few days ago and watching parts of it now. Miguel, Adam Levine and Carrie Underwood are singing George Michael's songs. They're not bad at all but makes you realize that George Michael is one of a kind.

I said the same thing! (My wife thought Miguel did a pretty good job…)

Tom Morello speech from Rage Against the Machine was, by far, the best thing of this years show. Inspiring:
