The Beach Boys' California Girls and Bob Marley's Catch a Fire are among 25 songs to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
The U.S. Recording Academy released its list of 2010 inductees on Wednesday, ranging from Dipper Mouth Blues (1923) by King Oliver & His Jazz Band to Birdland (1977) by Weather Report.
The selections, made by a committee of music professionals, are drawn from all categories of music to reflect the diversity of American music. Recordings must be at least 25 years old and of "historical significance."
Rock selections include the Doors' Riders on the Storm, Janis Joplin's Pearl and James Brown's It's a Man's Man's Man's World.
There is also a selection of jazz, swing and pop, including Johnny Mercer's Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah and You Made Me Love You by Harry James and His Orchestra. A recording of George Carlin's comedy routine Class Clown also will be honoured.

- Spider-Man trailer: fresh take or more of the same?by Arts Online Feb. 7, 2012 5:15 PM Spider-Man? Yes. Amazing? Maybe. The first full-length trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man -- the reboot of the comic-turned-movie trilogy -- has been released. But considering the previous movie franchise ended a mere five years ago and that we've been bombarded with stories about the troubled Broadway musical adaptation since then, this reboot does beg the question: Do we really need to revisit Spider-Man?
