NEW YORK - Black Sabbath, Miles Davis and the Sex Pistols are among five musical legends to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation will hold its induction ceremony March 13 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, the organization announced Monday.

Also to be inducted into the class of 2006: 1980s New Wave band Blondie and Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, who founded A&M records in 1962, will receive a lifetime achievement award in the non-performer category.

Inductees into the side-men category will be announced at a later date.

Musicians, industry professionals and journalists vote on the nominations. Artists are eligible to be inducted into the Rock Hall after at least 25 years have passed since their first record was released.

    That is a great list, diverse and talented (Blondie was at least interesting....).

    they are a bunch of fuckwads at the RRHoF

    still no Rush
    still no VH
    still no mellencamp
    I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

    At least Miles Davis go in before Rush, Van Halen and Mellencamp. Looks like there is at least a tiny bit of justice.

    Big Blondie fan here, nice to see Debbie and the boys get their due. I always thought Clem Burke was one of the best drummers of all time.

    That's easy to trace

    eh, Ive gained a little respect for the place... instead of forever shunning the bands that have complained (sabbath), they have come around. Its not like they were going to take ALL the previously shunned bands and induct them at once... Sabbath, Skynard, and Sex Pistols are all well publisized in their omission...

    and i agree, RUSH is now the most glaring omission.
