Pearl Jam, Beastie Boys Recordings + More Join Grammy Hall of Fame

They were already legendary, but 29 recordings will make up the 2021 Grammy Hall of Fame Induction class, including timeless pieces of music from Pearl Jam, the Beastie Boys, Bruce Springsteen, Journey, The Cars, Peter Gabriel, Stevie Ray Vaughan and others.

The Recording Academy will induct Pearl Jam's 1991 breakout album Ten this year. That album gave us such standouts as "Alive," "Even Flow," "Jeremy" and "Black" en route to a diamond certification that currently stands at over 13 million albums sold in the U.S.

The Beastie Boys' 1986 breakout Licensed to Ill will also be entering the Grammy Hall. The band famously sampled a number of heavier rock acts in creating the brash breakout that included "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)," "Brass Monkey," "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" and "The New Style." The Beasties also have a diamond certified album thanks to the success of License to Ill.

Other rock leaning records going in this year include Bruce Springsteen's Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J., Peter Gabriel's So, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's Texas Flood and The Cars self-titled set. The Grammy Hall of Fame also honors singles with Journey's fist-pumping sing-along anthem "Don't Stop Believin'" from their Escape album going in. A full listing of 2021 inductees can be seen below.

These 29 new titles into the Hall bring the total to 1,142 recordings. "We are proud to announce this year's diverse roster of Grammy Hall of Fame inductees and to recognize recordings that have shaped our industry and inspire music makers of tomorrow," said Recording Academy Chair/Interim President/CEO Harvey Mason Jr. "Each recording has had a significant impact on our culture, and it is an honor to add them to our distinguished catalog."

Each of the recipients will receive an official certificate from the Recording Academy acknowledging their induction. The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards will take place Sunday, Jan. 31 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT with a broadcast airing on CBS.
