Three of the biggest musical moments of the 1980s, Bruce Springsteen's album "Born in the U.S.A.," Paul Simon's "Graceland" and Tina Turner's single "What's Love Got to Do With It," are among the 25 recordings being inducted into the 2012 Grammy Hall of Fame, the Recording Academy announced Monday [[Nov. 21).
The list, comprised of songs or albums that are at least 25 years old, also contains historic spoken word pieces like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and Bill Cosby's legendary comedy album, "I Started Out as a Child." Other notable popular albums include the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main St.," Santana's self-titled debut and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's masterpiece, "Deja Vu."
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's genre-creating single "The Message" and Gloria Gaynor's disco anthem "I Will Survive" also made the cut.
The 54th Grammy Awards ceremony will take over the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 12. Check out the full list of Hall of Fame nominees below:
