"You've Lost That Loving Feeling": 50 Years of The Righteous Brothers Classic and Five Covers, from Elvis to Hall & Oates

Fifty years ago on this date, The Righteous Brothers made one of its most important contributions to music culture (outside of the amazing band name "The Righteous Brothers"): The duo released its hit track "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'."

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2014 Inductees: The Debates Behind the Scenes

For something that doesn't really matter all that much, there are a whole lot of politics and outrage that go along with the inductees each year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Every year, someone's favorite band gets snubbed, and someone's least favorite band somehow gets in, and everyone's feelings get hurt. Here's how I imagined the conversations went between the voters this year when they were decided which artists to induct.
