ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME Miles Davis, Sex Pistols among those inducted

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath finally got their due.
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame grew a little jazzier Monday with the induction of trumpter Miles Davis.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blondie, Black Sabbath and the Sex Pistols also joined the pantheon of rock's greatest performers.
Davis was inducted by fellow jazz musician Herbie Hancock, who said the trumpter often played with his back to the audience simply because he was conducting the band.
"He was a man of mystery, magic and mystique," Hancock said. "It was often said he was an enigma. I would venture to say that many who said that just didn't get it."
Musical legacy
Ozzy Osbourne may be better known now as an addled reality TV star, but his musical legacy with Black Sabbath got its due with the band's induction.
Sabbath influenced a generation of heavy-metal fans -- including Metallica, which was booked to pay tribute at Monday's ceremony at The Waldorf-Astoria hotel -- but had to wait a decade for induction.
That annoyed singer Osbourne, who was badmouthing the hall for snubbing Sabbath even before he shot to fame with "The Osbournes." In Sabbath, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward joined Osbourne in fashioning heavy, dark tales like "War Pigs" and "Paranoid."
Southern rockers Skynyrd, whose name was a deliberately misspelled "tribute" to a hated high-school teacher, made much of its memorable music before a 1977 plane crash killed singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines.
Countless cigarette lighters have been lifted in salute of Skynyrd's epic "Free Bird." "Sweet Home Alabama" is such a well-known prideful statement of Southern heritage that the title was later swiped for a Reese Witherspoon movie.
Behind the unnerving stare of singer Johnny Rotten and the lacerating lyrics of "God Save the Queen" and "Pretty Vacant," the Sex Pistols appeared the most shocking of the first punk-rock generation in the mid-1970s.
