....More Than Words by Extreme. Extreme were known as a funk/metal band, much in the vein of Red Hot Chili Peppers, up until the release of this, their most successful single. From the album Extreme II: Pornograffiti, More Than Words showed the softer side of the band. Mostly guitar work by Nuno Bettencourt and the vocals of Gary Cherone & Bettencourt, the song was simple and lovely. The video, a performance of the song shot in black and white, was the perfect fit for the song. More reached #1 on this very week in 1991 on the Billboard Hot 100, also hitting the top spot in New Zealand and Canada. Extreme didn't hit #1 again, but More Than Words is definitely one of the most beloved songs of the '90s. Check it out.

ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME NOMINEES
The nominees for the next Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction have been announced. Some have been nominated before, like Donna Summer, Darlen Love, ABBA, the Chantels and the Stooges. The rest are fist time nominees: Red Hot Chili Peppers, KISS, LL Cool J, Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, The Hollies and Laura Nyro. Only 5 will be inducted. My personal picks would be Donna Summer (HELLO, I Feel Love is the bomb) , ABBA (cuz I'm a Dancing Queen), Red Hot Chili Peppers (Yum) , KISS (cuz they rock) and Genesis (why not?). I like all of those acts (especially Donna and ABBA...and the RHCPs are hot). The 25th annual ceremony will be March 15th here in NYC. The picture I put on her of ABBA alone should get them inducted. It's pure brills!!!!!
