Madonna Is Finally Getting the Acknowledgement She So Richly Deserves

After decades of toiling in near-obscurity, a little-known musician by the name of “Madonna” will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on March 10.

Her induction will be announced by an equally unnoted artist, one Justin Timberlake.

Other inductees include Leonard Cohen, John Mellencamp, The Dave Clark Five, The Ventures and Little Walter.

Okay, so I’ve heard of John Mellencamp, and I know Leonard Cohen is that guy from that REM song, but I’ve never heard of any of the others. And “Little Walter” just sounds like the name that some old dude living in a trailer park in Montana gave to his penis.

And is Madonna even a rock musician?

  • The Dave Clark Five were Beatle clones started by Dave Clark in the sixties. Just to let you know! :)

    And The Ventures sand “Wipeout”. Remember? The song that Animal from the Muppets did a music video for with the gogo dancers dancing in the background on the beach?

    Yeah…I’m a nerd.

  • dave clark five – “glad all over” – a fine, fine piece of work – but are one-hit-wonders really worthy of the hall of fame??? seriously???

  • The Dave Clark Five had a lot more hits thn just one. The Ventures did too. I don’t know about the others.

  • You should absolutely listen to Leonard Cohen’s “I’m Your Man”. (I’m referring to the song, but the whole album is great.) Very romantic, in a stalkery sort of way.
