Damn.  Expect a major tribute from Little Steven.  The fact that it took this long for them to get in the RnRHoF is very sad.

I've got a huge (at least 8'x6') poster from their 1965 film "Having A Wild Weekend."  It's packed away somewhere, I'll have to dig it out.

The first film directed by John Boorman (Point Blank, Deliverance).

Christ, that's a bloody shame--they should have been in years ago. At least he died knowing he was going to be inducted.
