It's about time someone injected a little bit of punk rock attitude into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

And it's also good to see Black Sabbath finally get into the Hall (inducted by Metallica, no less. Think they were scoping out the place for 2008?). All Sabbath were responsible for were decades of fuzzed-out heavy metal & grunge (not to mention the Osbournes -- wait, forget I mentioned that).

Other 2006 inductees, Blondie, the Sex Pistols, Miles Davis, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Eddie Van Halen influenced a generation of guitarists, though by the looks of this photo, it looks like he's influenced 5 or 6 generations. With Eddie's descent into Mr. Burns territory, combined with the David Lee Roth radio horror show, it doesn't look good for a Van Halen induction anytime soon.
