Madonna In, Donna Summer Out
December 13, 2007 / Posted by: Michael K
Madonna will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year. John Mellencamp, Leonard Cohen, The Ventures and The Dave Clark Five will also be inducted. Madonna's first single "Everybody" was released 25 years ago. The ceremony will be held in March in NYC.
Donna Summer, Chic, Afrika Bambaataa and the Beastie Boys were nominated, but didn't make the cut.
Okay, Madonna deserved it. She can't really sing, she's not the greatest dancer, she isn't a great lyricist and yet she's still managed to put together a pretty great music career and sell a shit load of albums. Give her the trophy!
Donna Summer was robbed! The Dave Clark who?!
