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?

I have had a HUGE crush on him for about 13 years or so.
6Fun! This is one of those things that I would love to attend one day.
7REM is my favorite inductee. Just wish this would have been on VH1 like it used to be instead of streaming on AOL?

Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.
It WAS on VH1-Classic, lindaloo. It was a great show - even better live - and it rocked meeting up with Mike Mills again. So pleased with this years inductees.
11the only thing jay-z has to do with rock and roll is stealing licks to use in the background music...what bs.
12go REM!
Amy, Seth, Andy, Fred and Maya oh my!! My peeps from SNL! LURVE em!!
13LOL I totally thought this had something to do with New Kids On The Block!
Jay-Z is no joke.
14I'm going to agree with Italygal, since when is rap considered "rock and roll"? I don't hear of Country music or other variations being inducted, so what's the point anymore?
