Its long list of members Rock and Roll Hall of FameThey’ve grown a bit even this year, at the 37th institution ceremony, which honors the names of the musical cream of the crop for their collective contribution (since it’s been 25 years since they first made a record).

This year’s ceremony, which took place on Saturday 11 May at Microsoft theater in Los Angeles it had everything from country to heavy metal, a lot of the 80s and, as usual, the necessary surprises.

Following 6 shots, p.however, these are the ones we hold most dear in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “Class of 2022”:

And if it’s rock, don’t be afraid of Dolly Parton

“Now I’m a rock star!” – said a noble village lady in a leather suit and with an electric guitar on her shoulder. A few months ago, when it was announced that she would be inducted into the Hall of Fame, Dolly Parton claimed she hadn’t done enough to earn a place in the rock and roll establishment (which, of course, wasn’t quite as strict). with genres). However, to take her place with the bullet, Parton has produced and has a rock album in the works, as she announced during her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, even playing the track “Rocking”. And to wrap it up, she called some of her friends on stage, including Pink (who had already introduced her), Annie Lennox, Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlyle and Simon Le Bon to sing “Jolene”.

Duran Duran minus one Taylor

The time has come for the “enchantresses” of the 80s to become part of the institution, even if this part of the evening was fraught with a bit of bitterness. Duran Duran took the stage counting one less Taylor. The explanation came some time later when their frontman Simon Le Bon read a letter from the band’s former guitarist Andy Taylor, in which he revealed that he had stage four prostate cancer. Another reason why Duran Duran received the warmest applause.

Sweet Dreams (made from Eurythmics)

80s continuity, with one of her most distinctive duets being none other than the Eurythmics. Wearing matching leather jackets, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart played a few songs that reminded them of why they deserved a place in the Hall of Fame after U2’s Edge introduced them.

Hey Lionel Richie was there too

And in fact, the ubiquitous Dave Grohl was always with him. It would be a crime for Lionel Richie not to sing “Hello” on that occasion, so he started his evening medley with his longtime hit and then continued with “All Night Long” as well as “Easy” by the Commodores at which point the leader of the Foo Fighters also came out to the stage.

His name is… Eminem

And rhymes get into the Hall of Fame, which is why the hip-hop heavy artillery briefly took over LA’s Microsoft Theater for all the right reasons. Dr. Dre took it upon himself to preempt the inauguration of the world’s fastest rapper, none other than Eminem. His set, in addition to some of his biggest hits, also featured some of the usual suspects – Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, to be exact, and Ed Sheeran, who assisted world famous Marshall Bruce Mathers on “Lose Yourself” and “Lose Yourself”. “. Stan, respectively.

Little Rob Halford always goes a long way

“I don’t want to hear that rock ‘n’ roll is dead, because it’s not,” said Alice Cooper, introducing Judas Priest, who brought a metal note to the evening. Most of all, though, they carried a loud message from their disarming vocalist, Rob Halford: “I’m gay in the band. The heavy metal community is inclusive and everyone is welcome. It’s all about strength and emotion, commitment and love.”
