Sex Pistols snub induction into Hall of Fame

REBEL rockers the Sex Pistols, Black Sabbath and Lynyrd Skynyrd were finally ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week after years of rejection but the Sex Pistols didn’t bother to show up.

The 2006 class of inductees also included jazz legend Miles Davis and new wave group Blondie, who made little secret of the antagonism between current and past members of the band at a ceremony marked by controversy, awkwardness and no-shows.

Musicians become eligible for consideration 25 years after their first recording and for several of those honoured, the induction came too late for them to enjoy it.
