Sabbath, Skynyrd Finally Make Hall Of Fame

[LTR]

After inventing Heavy Metal and helping to define Punk Rock, British imports Black Sabbath and the Sex Pistols will finally earn their rightful spots in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland. Ozzy Osbourne has denounced the importance of the Hall in the past, telling Hall officials in 1999, "Just take name off the list. Save the ink. Forget about us. The nomination is meaningless, because it's not voted on by the fans. It's voted on by the supposed elite for the industry and the media, who've never bought an album or concert ticket in their lives, so their vote is irrelevant to me." It remains to be seen how the Sabbath frontman will respond to the news of their induction.

Also nominated:

Lynyrd Skynyrd
Blondie
Miles Davis.
A&M Records founders Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss

Inductees in the Side-Men category will be announced at a later date.
