Janet Jackson, Def Leppard, Nicks join Rock Hall of Fame

NEW YORK (AP) — Janet Jackson joins her brother Michael and the Jackson 5 as members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, earning induction on Thursday along with Stevie Nicks and the top fan vote-getter, Def Leppard.

Radiohead, the Cure, Roxy Music and the Zombies will also be ushered in next spring at the 34th induction ceremony. It will be held March 29 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Jackson’s induction comes after her third time as nominee and many saw it as overdue, given her prowess as a hitmaker with “All For You,” ″That’s the Way Love Goes,” ″Nasty,” ″Together Again” and “What Have You Done For Me Lately.”

Her career has suffered from the fallout after the infamous 2004 Super Bowl appearance where her bare breast was briefly exposed. Jackson became eligible for the rock hall in 2007 and wasn’t nominated until 2016.

2. Yeah, I Buy That

It's more like the pop music hall of fame. Which is fine, but becomingly increasingly misnamed.

3. MAH BOYS THE CURE!!! WOOT! ABOUT DAMN TIME!

Radiohead was a gimme ... one of those automatic, first ballot Inductees ... but The Cure have waited way too long ...

Also ... Maiden, Priest, Motorhead, and Slayer ... are 10X more deserving than Def friggin' Leppard. Hell, I think Scorpions are more deserving. AFAIK, none of them are in yet, but I guess I might've missed it.
