Poll: Who Is Your Favorite Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 2012 Inductee
The Rock Hall adds six classic bands to its 2012 induction class
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced that it is adding six more classic bands to its 2012 induction class.
Those bands are The Blue Caps, Comets, Crickets, Famous Flames, Midnighters and Miracles, according to Newsnet 5.
In each case, the frontman for the group has already been inducted to the Hall of Fame: Gene Vincent for The Blue Cap; Bill Haley, the Comets; Buddy Holly, the Crickets; James Brown, the Famous Flames; Hank Ballard, the Midnighters; and Smokey Robinson, the Miracles.
These bands will join the previously announced induction class -- Beastie Boys, Donovan, Guns 'N Roses, Laura Nyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Small Faces/The Faces, Freddie King, Don Kirshner, Cosimo Matassa, Tom Dowd and Glyn Johns -- who will be added during the 27th Annual Induction Ceremony on April 14 in Cleveland.
The ceremony will air on HBO in early May.
In the mean time, who is your favorite in the 2012 induction class? Are you down with Mellow Yellow or up all night with Mr. Brownstone? Do you enjoy a sip of Brass Monkey or prefer a Stoned Soul Picnic?

Wow, Guns N' Roses are running away with this! I'm a bit surprised there's not more love for the Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers. Don't get me wrong "Appetite for Destruction" was incredible -- maybe the perfect rock record. But the Beasties and RHCP (to say nothing of the Miracles, who I love,) sustained their success in a way Roses could not. (And, no, Chinese Democracy does not count.)

MEGADETH should be inducted dammit! It's been almost 30yrs since Dave Mustaine started the band and they are still kicking ass. \m/

Hi Nick, I appreciate both your comment and your enthusiasm, but we don't allow profanity on the Patch forums...
And, yes, MEGADETH kicks posterior.

I recently bought Appetite for Destruction on vinyl. I agree, it is the perfect rock record.
