Kiss, Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, Nirvana, Hall & Oates and Cat Stevens have been elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2014 class. That means Deep Purple, Yes and the Zombies are among the nominees who were not chosen this year.

In a recent interview with ABC World News, Linda Ronstadt opened up about the way Parkinson's disease slowly crippled her ability to sing.
