In addition, the following will be inducted in the Lifetime Achievement in the Non-Performer category:

Frank Barsalona - The founder and president of Premier Talent Agency

Can't really bag on any of the inductees this year (as opposed to some years ahem Righteous Brothers), but it still "chaps my hide" that Kraftwerk is still being ignored.
