Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announces its inductees for 2008
By OffBeat staff
The inductees will be honored at a ceremony on March 10, 2008, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.
The performer inductees are:
1. Leonard Cohen
2. The Dave Clark Five (Dave Clark, Lenny Davidson, Rick Huxley, Denis Payton and Mike Smith)
3. Madonna
4. John Mellencamp
5. The Ventures (Bob Bogle, Nokie Edwards, Gerry McGee, Mel Taylor, Don Wilson)
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame also announced the induction of Little Walter in its sideman category, and the newly named “Ahmet Ertegun Award” (formerly the non-performer category) will be presented to legendary producers, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff.
The 2008 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performer inductees were chosen by the 600 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twenty-five years after their first recording is released.
In addition to being honored at the March ceremony, each inducted artist is commemorated at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland Ohio, which serves as a monument to rock and roll’s impact on our culture. There, this year’s inductees will be honored

A pretty good list. I am particularly happy to see the Dave Clark Five on there, though since Mike Smith is paralyzed I doubt he will be performing. Madonna? Ugggghh...hope she breaks a hip getting on stage.
