2023 ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME

Willie Nelson, Missy Elliott, George Michael, and More: Here Are the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees

The outlaw legend, the rap queen, and few of this year’s inductees will perform at the ceremony, which takes place on November 3 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its 2023 inductees, which include a classic Motown act, a reclusive post-punk goddess, a militant agitprop alt-rock band, and, finally, a 90-year-old country and pop-culture titan. Willie Nelson, George Michael, Missy Elliott, Sheryl Crow, Rage Against the Machine, The Spinners, and Kate Bush will all officially join the institution and receive their well-deserved honors as part of the induction ceremony at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on November 3.

In addition to these incredible talents, the Hall of Fame will also highlight several musicians and industry champions with additional accolades. The recipients of this year’s Musical Excellence Awards—for artists, musicians, songwriters, and producers whose originality and influence have had a dramatic impact on music—are the reigning Queen of Funk, Chaka Khan; prolific songwriter and longtime Elton John musical partner Bernie Taupin; and Al Kooper, the renowned multi-instrumentalist, producer, Bob Dylan collaborator, and Lynyrd Skynyrd discoverer. Hip-hop pioneer DJ Kool Herc and influential guitarist Link Wray will each receive the Musical Influence Award, designated for artists whose style has directly influenced, inspired, and evolved rock ’n’ roll and music impacting youth culture. The Ahmet Ertegun Award, a distinction for non-performing industry professionals, will posthumously honor Soul Traincreator and TV host and producer Don Cornelius, who passed away in 2012.

Explore essential tracks from some of the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees below, and tune in to our live broadcast on Apple Music 1, where Apple Music radio hosts Ebro Darden, Rebecca Judd, Matt Wilkinson, Brooke Reese, and Kelleigh Bannen will be joined by Crow and Taupin to discuss their achievements and this year’s celebration.

Willie Nelson

THE BRAIDS, THE smile, the trusty guitar named Trigger, the impassioned activism, the unabashed passion for all things cannabis (and his song about it, “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die”)—there’s a lot to love about Willie Nelson, and fans all over the world can give you several reasons why they’re still showing up to see him sing well into his 90th year. He may have gotten his start singing country western tunes in the ’50s and ’60s, but Nelson hit his stride in the ’70s when he bucked the conventions of Nashville’s Music Row to make the stripped-down country music hewanted to make, the sort that sounded much more at home in a crowded honky-tonk than the Grand Ole Opry. Then, he found kindred spirits in Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and other artists who became the founding fathers of outlaw country, and now he’s mentored and played with younger generations of musicians who keep the outlaw spirit alive in their own way, like Margo Price, Jason Isbell, and Sturgill Simpson. At 90, Nelson’s voice may be a bit more gravelly than it was in his Red Headed Stranger days, but he’s still strumming Trigger with abandon any chance he gets.

George Michael

GEORGE MICHAEL ROSE to fame in the ’80s as one half of the feather-haired duo Wham!, who churned out some of the catchiest radio hits of the decade—namely the jubilant “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” the bittersweet modern holiday ballad “Last Christmas,” and “Careless Whisper,” the sultry single possessing one of the most memorable sax solos of all time. His velvety tenor, boyish charm, and melodic instincts as a songwriter secured his pop star status in Wham!’s heyday, but Michael’s star went supernova with 1987’s Faith, his debut solo album. The title track is one of his eight singles to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; the other seven include his duet with Aretha Franklin, “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me),” and a version of Elton John’s “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” that features both Michael and the Rocket Man himself. In 1998, Michael came out as a gay man, and he was a vocal advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and HIV/AIDS prevention efforts throughout his career. Fans were stunned when Michael passed away unexpectedly in 2016 at the age of 53, but his songs—and his legacy—endure.

Missy Elliott

THERE HAS NOT been a woman rapper in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame—until now. “Get Ur Freak On,” “Pass That Dutch,” “Lose Control,” “Work It”—there was a stretch in the early 2000s when Missy Elliott’s beats and bars were inescapable. Her music videos—especially the clip for 1997’s breakthrough single “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly),” in which she transformed a trash bag into an unforgettable ensemble—were in constant rotation on MTV. Her songs were omnipresent on radio, and earned her a collection of the industry’s highest accolades (including four Grammys and several MTV Video Music Awards). She’s an exceptional rapper, as well as a production genius and lauded songwriter (and one who’s been officially honored by the Songwriters Hall of Fame). She’s collaborated with some of the most beloved hitmakers in R&B and pop at large: Aaliyah, Jennifer Hudson, Jazmine Sullivan, Ciara, Nelly Furtado, and many more. In short: Missy Elliott is, and has been, a force to be reckoned with, an MC who can do it all with infinite crossover appeal. And now, to top it all off, she’s making history.

Sheryl Crow

IT’S BEEN NEARLY 30 years since the release of Tuesday Night Music Club, Sheryl Crow’s debut album, and yet its tunes—“All I Wanna Do,” her first single; the frank and fed-up “Can’t Cry Anymore”; the sparse and stunning “Strong Enough”—remain some of the most beloved in her catalog. That says something, given how busy Crow’s been since: 10 albums followed, as have several songs as beloved as that first batch, from the snarling “If It Makes You Happy” and the profound “Everyday Is a Winding Road” to “Prove You Wrong,” her country-rock anthem featuring Stevie Nicks and Maren Morris. Her writing has always drawn as much from classic rock and folk as it has the licks and conventions of country, and as such she’s carved out a place entirely her own with one foot firmly planted in each genre: She’s as much at home in the studio with Chris Stapleton as she is with Justin Timberlake, and her songwriting chops—not to mention her crystal-clear voice—soar beyond the confines of genre. 

Rage Against the Machine

RAGE AGAINST THE Machine has been previously nominated for entry into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame four times, but the fifth time’s the charm for the righteously deafening rock mainstays. Since forming in 1991, the four-piece has made heavy protest tracks their calling card, with 1992’s unfiltered breakout track “Killing in the Name” and subsequent singles—like “Bulls on Parade,” “Guerilla Radio,” and “Sleep Now in the Fire”—all speaking truth to power while shining a glaring spotlight on the myth of American exceptionalism. Read Rage Against the Machine’s statement regarding their induction in full here:

It is a surprising trajectory for us to be welcomed into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In 1991 four people in Los Angeles formed a musical group to stand where sound and solidarity intersect. We called ourselves Rage Against the Machine.  A band who is as well known for our albums as we are for our fierce opposition to the US war machine, white supremacy and exploitation  A band whose songs drove alternative radio to new heights while right wing media companies tried to purge every song we ever wrote from the airwaves A band who shut down the NY Stock Exchange for the first time in its history A band who was targeted by police organizations who attempted to ban us from sold out arenas for raising our voices to free Mumia Abu Jamal, Leonard Peltier and other political prisoners  A band who sued the US State Department for their fascist practice of using our music to torture innocent men in Guantanamo Bay A band who wrote rebel songs in an abandoned, industrial warehouse in the valley that would later dethrone Simon Cowell ’s X-Factor pop monopoly to occupy the number 1 spot on the UK charts and have the most downloaded song in UK history  A band who funded and organized delegations to stand with Mexican rebel Zapatista communities to expose the Mexican government’s war on indigenous people A band whose experimentation in fusing punk, rock and hip-hop became a genre of its own Many thanks to the Hall of Fame for recognizing the music and the mission of Rage Against the Machine. We are grateful to all of the passionate fans, the many talented co-conspirators we’ve worked with and all the activists, organizers, rebels and revolutionaries past, present and future who have inspired our art.

The Spinners

“I’LL BE AROUND,” the immediately recognizable hit from R&B and soul crooners The Spinners, is a groove with with a unique cultural footprint. You can’t hear the subtle drums and telltale chords without humming the chorus in your head: “Whenever you call me, I’ll be there/Whenever you want me, I’ll be there/Whenever you need me, I’ll be there/I’ll be around.” The Spinners are one of a few Detroit soul groups who truly found their groove by leaving Motown. On that label they hit with Stevie Wonder’s “It’s a Shame,” but it took a hook-up with Philadelphia maestro Thom Bell to bring out their best. Bell’s smooth and sumptuous productions were the blueprint for Philly soul, and The Spinners’ Philippe Wynne had the voice to match. Lightly funkified love ballads became their trademark, but they could also draw from gospel on “Mighty Love” and do social commentary on “Ghetto Child.”

Kate Bush

THOUGH FANS OF Kate Bush have been blasting Hounds of Love and the rest of her greatest hits for decades, the reclusive British singer-songwriter saw an unlikely resurgence when her 1985 single “Running Up That Hill” was worked into the supernatural plot of Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things last summer. It’s hardly surprising that younger audiences connected with its driving drums and synth-laden, discordant chorus, nor is it shocking that Bush’s robust voice continues to stun listeners when they encounter her signature song—or “This Woman’s Work,” or “Wuthering Heights,” or anything else in her repertoire—for the first time. The list of famous Bush fans is long, and it counts everyone from Adele and Björk to ROSALÍA and Solange, not to mention several artists previously honored by the Rock Hall (like Stevie Nicks, who considered recording her own version of “Running Up That Hill” before realizing she “can’t really do that song better than Kate Bush did”).

Congratulations on your graduation! 🎊🎈🎉 Maybe you can write a short fic about Carmy and reader being a young couple with the reader graduating and Carmen surprises her with some type of gift? Congrats again! 🎉🍾🎊🎈

thank you!!! i’ve been thinking about this sm actually. like what he would get bc it’s big and he just wants something good.

he’s pouring over what to get you. no one got him anything besides a pat on the back when he graduated culinary school, and it felt like shit so he doesn’t want you to feel that way.

i think it comes from tina, the idea. he’s stressed, rambling about it, and she just kinda says it while prepping food.

“you know, chef, when i graduated, you always got the girl pearls.” tina hums.

“pearls?”

“yeah, pearls. necklaces or my mom got me earrings. real pearls. it’s all she could afford but i still have them. they’re really special to me.” she’s got a soft smile on her face.

carmen goes out, buys you a pearl necklace on his nearly maxed amex, sold a few jackets to cover the rest but he got it. real pearls, shiny and white, just for you.

you sob when he gives them to you. “carmen, this-this is too much.”

“no, i wanted you to have it. to remember this and because i, uh, i-i’m so fuckin’ proud of you.” his eyes are shining. “you’re really just amazing, you know?”

you only wear them on very special occasions, too scared something would happen but every time you’re taken back to your graduation. sitting in your shared apartment with carm, bouquets of flowers in vases in the kitchen, his shaking hands opening the box over the candle light.

blurb below the cut

all of the girls you loved before

i’m so thankful for all of the girls you loved before, but i love you more

Today had been a dream. An absolute dream. It almost didn’t feel real. Today was the day you married the love of your life; Matthew Murdock. Your head rested against his chest with your arms weaved around his shoulders, while his arms were wrapped tightly around your waist and his face was nuzzled into the side of your neck. The two of you glided effortlessly around the dance floor together, enjoying your first dance together as husband and wife. Even though there were a ton of eyes watching the two of you, it still felt like it was just you and Matt in the room. 

You still couldn’t believe that you had gotten so lucky. That this magnetic force of a man had chosen you to bind himself to, legally and spiritually, for the rest of your lives. Out of all the girls that he had loved before, you were the one he had given the key to his heart to, and you wore it proudly around your left finger in a symbol of love and a sacred promise. Matt had given you everything you had ever dreamed of. A loyal and dedicated partner. A sense of security and belonging. A home, a real home. 

Today he had given you his last name, and you were determined to give him a lifetime of happiness in return.

You couldn’t help but hug onto his body even tighter as an overwhelming flurry of emotions swirled around in your head like delicate flakes in a snowglobe.

“I love you so much, Matty.”

You could feel his lips stretch into a smile against your neck, and he tightened his arms around your body, pulling you further into the safety and comfort of his embrace.

“I love you so much, angel.”

By the time he carried you past the threshold of your shared apartment, you couldn’t keep your hands to yourself. Your fingers sought out every inch of his skin you could find, and you kissed him fervently as Matt chuckled against your lips. He carried you in his strong arms to the bedroom, gently setting you down on the edge of it as he bent over you, placing his hand on your cheek softly, gazing down in the direction of your face while his honey eyes shined in complete adoration.

“We don’t have to rush, sweetheart. We have all night…and the rest of our lives.”

“I just…want to show you how much I love you.”

Matt felt his heart swell at those words, and he shook his head slowly as his lips parted into that dazzling grin that made your knees weak.

“You already have, pretty girl. I’d say today was a pretty big show of it.” 

Letting out a breathless laugh, you reached up to gently grab onto his tie to tug him down closer, biting down on your bottom lip gently as he took the hint and crawled over your body. You couldn’t help but sigh softly as you cradled his jaw in your hand, leaning in to brush your nose against his.

“I…I know there were a lot of girls that loved you before me. But Matty…I love you more. I feel so lucky that you chose me too. I just…wanna show you that. I wanna make you feel that. I wanna teach you how forever feels.”

Brushing your lips ever so slightly against his, you slowly pulled the tie from the knot around his neck, gently pushing his suit jacket over his broad shoulders before your nimble fingers released every button on his shirt. Matt eagerly followed your lead, reaching his hand down to the hem of your wedding dress to slip underneath, dragging the soft fabric up past your thighs and igniting a blazing trail up your skin with his heated touch. 

Every moment in your life had led up to this one. Every flutter of butterflies in your stomach when you felt the first telltale signs of falling in love. Every moment you spent fighting on the phone over a dagger into your heart, falling into an endless cycle of making up just to break up. Every sleepless night you spent crying until two am when it was finally over for good, and another selfish boy had broken your heart. 

Every leap of faith, mistake, rebound, and lesson in love and loss.

All the hell that you and Matt had gone through together to get to heaven.

It all led you right here.

Matt didn’t put up a fight when you pushed him back onto the mattress gently, his hands immediately seeking out your hips when you moved to straddle his waist with a soft grin on his lips. You took your time as you leaned in to press searing kisses along his jawline, down the column of his sensitive neck, as your teeth grazed along the scars that lingered below his collarbones. You always made sure to show the evidence of this world’s unkindness to him extra affection.

Both of you were panting with urgency as you dragged your soaked folds along his eager cock, and by the time you slowly lowered yourself down onto his length with his help, both of you let out a deep sigh and loud moan of relief in unison. Matt’s lips parted as a shaky breath slipped past them, and his eyes nearly rolled into the back of his head once you sank down fully. Sex with Matt was always incredible, but this was different.

You were making love to your husband, and that thought caused a shiver to tumble down your spine.

Matt bluntly dug his fingers into the flesh of your hips to capture your attention, staring blankly up in your direction with a look of pure hunger in his eyes and unfiltered desire etched onto his sharp features.

“Alright, sweetheart. Make me feel it.”

Thank you so much for the support and the ask! I hope you enjoy!

ikesen: Yukimura, Mitsuhide, and Nobunaga

NSFW Prompt 11- Suitors react to MC/reader taking the lead

18+ content

Yukimura-

Boy is stunned when he walks into your shared room and you are waiting for him in a rather short silk robe. The robe is draped so that one shoulder is showing and a good amount of your chest.

His face turns red and he’s immediately shutting the door looking at you like you’re crazy. “What if someone besides me saw you?” He gapes at you.

You grin as you approach him, playing with the lapels of his kimono. “That’s why I waited in OUR room.” You remind him. You take his hand and pull him to the futon, instructing him to sit down.

Once he’s seated, you place yourself in his lap, straddling him as you wrap your arms around his neck and look deep into his eyes. “Tonight, I’m in charge.” You tell him before capturing his lips in a rather passionate kiss.

Yukimura gets so flustered at first, he almost has no idea what to do. Though he eventually calms down and another fire starts burning in him.

He soon finds that he likes you taking the lead. You touching him in the places he likes best -finding some new places as well-

He finds it incredibly sexy when you’re leading the way, doing as you please with him and telling him what you want him to do with you.

He may have been flustered at first…but he soon finds that he can’t get enough of you.

And he thinks you look super sexy while riding him.

Mitsuhide-

“Oh, you want to take the lead tonight little mouse?” He asks upon entering your shared room and you practically pounce on him.

You nod up at him. Taking his hand you lead him to the futon, where he sits down and looks up at you expectantly, mischief dancing in those amber eyes.

You decide to start off, teasing him as he usually teases you.

Kissing him, teasing touches over his skin, leaving a few marks on his chest.

Mitsuhide enjoys everything you’re doing. He adores you and indulging you is one of his favorite things.

However, the man can only take so much before he is flipping things around on you.

“I’ve let you have your fun little mouse…now let me treat you properly. Perhaps you can learn from my example for next time.”

He then spends the night thoroughly teaching you all of his techniques. You make the mental note to not let him get the better of you next time…even if it is always amazing when you surrender to him. Though he did very much enjoy you initiating. He loved knowing you wanted him as much as he wanted you.

Nobunaga-

He gives you an amused smile as you climb atop his lap after pushing the tray with the sake aside.

“Maybe you should be MY cup tonight.” You tell him.

His grin widens as he eyes you, placing the sake cup in your hand. “By all means, fireball.”

You are surprised that he gives in so easily, but Nobunaga can’t resist your whims.

His eyes never leave yours as you pour the sake into his mouth before drinking it from his lips.

Nobunaga finds that he rather likes this side of you.

He loves you just taking what you want…extremely happy that HE is what you want.

He loves the fierceness you display as you lead him through your bedroom activities.

He’s never seen anything more beautiful…nor has anything ever turned him on so.

This side of you is all for him and he lives for it.He always knew your boldness would lead to much fun…he just didn’t know how much you’re not walking the next day
