TV Tonight: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Anniversary Concert

BuzzSugar — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 10:30:46 PST

HBO is hosting a special tonight to celebrate the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary, and the line-up is star-studded. U2, Metallica, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, and other acts each have a segment of the show where they'll be rocking their music, along with a few tunes by other artists who have inspired their work.

I'm glad to see Bruce and his boys here after hearing they might not perform together anytime soon, but what I'm most psyched to watch is the evening's unique musical pairings: Stevie Wonder and John Legend are teaming up to perform "The Way You Make Me Feel," Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Billy Joel have a duet to "New York State of Mind," and U2, Mick Jagger, and the Black Eyed Peas are coming together for "Gimme Shelter." Awesome! And those are just a sampling of the many collaborations.

The only downside: the show is four hours long (ugh). I don't know if I'll be able to sit through the whole thing without getting fidgety. Still, I'm programming it in my TiVo, so I can watch at my own leisure.

The concert airs at 8 p.m. EST/PST. Will you tune in? Which musical group are you most excited to see perform?

Brocade Home Designs Rock and Roll Hall of Fame VIP Room

CasaSugar — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 10:00:22 PST

Brooding and full of teen angst, the only good thing that came from my trip to Cleveland when I was young was a visit to the I.M. Pei-designed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thus, I have a soft spot for the music-eum, and I'm delighted to hear that it opened an annex in NYC late last month. Of course, the museum celebrated with a slew of celebrities in tow, but it's open to all of you regular folk seven days a week. If you're in SoHo, you can stop by to enjoy multiple galleries spotlighting
hundreds of music revolutionaries, as well as key cities that have helped shape the history of rock and roll. The annex called in one of its sponsors to design the VIP room, which should be a familiar brand to you Casa readers, Brocade Home. Brocade's glitzy, polished look was a shoo-in for the VIP rock star lounge. But if you're not a "very important person," you can surely pick up any of these furnishings for yourself at Brocade Home. To see more photos of the space,

read more. I like the look of the ambient lighting mixed with Brocade's glam rock furnishings. Although a little bare, I think it's pretty fab, don't you agree?

The Stooges, Metallica in the Running for Rock Hall of Fame

BuzzSugar — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 11:30:21 PDT

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced this year's class of nominees, and there are some big names on the list. The Hall of Fame is following up last year's class, which featured the likes of Madonna, Leonard Cohen, and John Mellencamp, with a group of nominees including Metallica, Run-DMC, and the Stooges.

In total, nine acts made the short list. In addition to the names above, guitarist Jeff Beck, singer Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, Chic, and Bobby Womack will be on the ballot. The five acts with the most votes will be named to the Hall of Fame in January and officially inducted in April.

A couple of interesting things: First, neither Stevie Ray Vaughan nor Bon Jovi made the ballot this year, which would have been the first year both were eligible (at least 25 years must have passed since the act released its first single). And second, no Beastie Boys? They were short-listed last year, but they were left off this time around.

Which of the potential nominees do you think is most deserving?

Madonna to Join Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Beastie Boys Denied

BuzzSugar — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 12:28:51 PST

It's not really surprising that Madonna will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this March. Back in September, the eligible nominees for the 2008 induction included Madonna, the Beastie Boys, John Mellencamp, Leonard Cohen, Afrika Bambaataa, Chic, the Ventures, Donna Summer and the Dave Clark Five. As of today, five of these nine have been selected for the actual induction. And the new members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are...

Madonna
John Mellencamp
Leonard Cohen
The Ventures
The Dave Clark Five

So... no Beastie Boys? Shocking! That decision puzzles me, though this is just the first year that the Boys are eligible to be inducted, so there's always 2009! What do you think of this year's inductees? Were the Beastie Boys shafted? What about Donna Summer, for that matter? Discuss.

Madonna, Beasties Nominated for Rock Hall of Fame

BuzzSugar — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 05:30:00 PDT

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is wasting no time in recognizing Madonna and the Beastie Boys. They're among the nine artists nominated for the new class of inductees in just their first year of eligibility for the honor.

They join seven other nominees from all across the musical map: John Mellencamp, Leonard Cohen, Afrika Bambaataa, Chic, the Ventures, Donna Summer and the Dave Clark Five. Cohen, Bambaataa, Summer and the Ventures are also first-time nominees. Five of them will be chosen to be inducted into the hall in March.

To be eligible, artists must have released their first singles no later than 1982. Madonna first hit the scene that year with "Everybody," while the Beasties released their first EP, Pollywog Stew.

It makes sense that both Madonna and the Beasties would end up in the hall eventually, but I think it's great to see them recognized so soon. If I were a voter, those two would definitely make my final five. Of the nine nominees, which five would you want to get in?

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Celebrates The New Kids

PopSugar — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 09:07:12 PDT

It was all about the Rock and Roll at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC last night as musicians young and old gathered to celebrate the latest inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Among this year's honorees are REM, Van Halen and Grandmaster Flash. As usual, Jay-Z was the most dapper man in the room as he read his speech from his Blackberry, "Thirty years later, rappers have become rock stars, movie stars, leaders, educators, philanthropists, even CEOs. None of this would have been possible without the work of these men." Congratulations to all who are now part of the club! So, who was your favorite hall of famer this year?

Many more pics including Jay-Z, Andy Samberg and Kid Rock, so just read more
