One of the prettiest music icons of the 1980s, without a doubt!

She’s great. Jane Wiedlin also. To some extent the Go-Gos were packaged as a frivolous “Girl Group” but they were much more than that.

Unbelievable that they would include the Go-Gos while Blue Oyster Cult is still not in it.

R&R Hall of fame huh? As if there is still any rock and roll anymore.
The Go-Gos were new wave not punk. And they were so stoned and drunk during most of their heyday I don't think any of them can be counted upon to give an accurate account of 1981-1982. Talk about hard-partiers.
Hall of fame is so stupid.

All the kids just getting out of school
They can't wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve
That's when they fall in line
They got the beat
They got the beat
Kids got the beat
Yeah, kids got the beat

Never part of the punk scene - they were the industry’s attempt to mainstream punk and were just a girl band. A sanitized version of the Runaways.

It hardly matters – who really cares about these things? – and yet it does. This year the Go-Go’s will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of FameThey had one hit and Carlisle had a very short so-so solo career. Hall of Fame? I think not. But then again the Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame is nothing but a commercial venture.

“She says she knew she was in trouble with drugs “from the very beginning”. “I always had that little voice: ‘What are you doing?’” In the early days, she was “an acid head. But when I was introduced to coke, I thought: ‘Oh my God, when I get money, I’m going to buy lots of this.’ And I did.” She laughs. Three years after their album hit No 1, Carlisle had spent most of her money on drugs, clothes and, of all things, a racehorse.”

The Runaways kicked ass. They were breaking new ground and original.
No comparison to Carlisle and her pop schlock run. Hey, she cashed in.
Good for her.

For what the Go Go’s were, they were good. But it seems odd they’re being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. A small handful of hits in the 80’s....and?

The Slits were a real punk girl group.

She cleaned up nicely. It could have had a bad ending.
