Die schwedische Popband ABBA, The Hollies, Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, The Stooges und David Geffen sind am Montag Abend offiziell in die “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” aufgenommen worden. Die Aufnahmezeremonie fand traditionell im New Yorker “Waldorf Astoria Hotel” statt.
Die Laudatio auf “The Hollies” hielt E Street Band Gitarrist Little Steven Van Zandt. Er würdigte unter anderem die “englischen Harmonien“ der Sänger Allan Clarke und Graham Nash, die “vielleicht nur von den Beatles übertroffen wurden”.

Pressebericht AP – Associated Press:
Zitat:
Steve Van Zandt, Bruce Springsteen’s guitarist, paid tribute to The Hollies and the spirit of rock and roll in an eloquent induction speech. Allan Clarke and Graham Nash’s “exquisite English harmonies were second, or shared only by the Beatles.”
Their British Invasion hits included “Bus Stop” and “Carrie-Anne,” both of which the band performed on Monday.
Clarke recalled telling his father he was going to become a professional musician. His father told him that bands only last three or four years, so bank as much money as you can.
“Well, Dad, I’m being inducted into a museum,” Clarke said. “How’s that for longevity?”
Nash jokingly thanked his colleagues for having “the audacity, the gall” to have three No. 1 hits after he left the band in 1968. Those 1970s standards were “The Air That I Breathe,” “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” and “Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress).”
