The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has revealed its 2021 class of inductees, and seven iconic ASCAP acts made the grade! This year's ASCAP inductees reflect the expansive impact of rock music on other genres, and vice-versa. It includes modern rock superstars (Foo Fighters) and hip-hop kingpins (Jay-Z and LL Cool J); the first all-woman band to top the charts by writing its own material and playing its own instruments (The Go-Go's); a pioneering German ensemble (Kraftwerk) that merged man and machine in their music and visual aesthetic; a virtuoso metal guitarist (Randy Rhoads) and a fiery soul/jazz poet (Gil Scott-Heron).
ASCAP’s signature event returns to the virtual stage on a twice-monthly basis.
