    Anything but the Ramones one. Holy shit so painful to watch.

    ...And oh so long!

    I just watched them all in reverse order and was surprised how short the one for The Doors was...even Neil Young's seemed a bit too brief.

    I thought the REM one had a great balance of humour and sincerity...And was the perfect length.

    With all the above said, it's pretty impressive that Eddie has given four induction speeches.

    REM one is my favorite as well, exactly for reasons you stated. :smiley: Also agree it is impressive he's done 4!

    Fun fact: in HS I did a presentation on the RnRHOF and included a picture of Eddie and The Doors on my slides. My first question from the audience: "Has Nirvana been inducted into the hall?" :perturbed: "No, you need 25 years of history first..."
