Three American groups that helped to shape pop music in the 1980s and early ’90s — Guns N’ Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Beastie Boys – will be inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the spring, the Hall was to announce Wednesday.
They will join fellow inductees Donovan, the British folksinger; Laura Nyro, the Bronx-born singer-songwriter who died in 1997; and the Small Faces, a British invasion group which later changed its name to the Faces when Rod Stewart joined. All were influential figures in the ’60s and ’70s.
