NEW YORK (AP) — Steely Dan, R.E.M., Timbaland, Hillary Lindsey and Dean Pitchford will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, an incoming class of musicians who have scaled the heights of country, classic rock, pop, hip-hop and alt-rock. Steely Dan — co-founded by Donald Fagan and the late Walter Becker — finally get into the hall despite being a staple of classic rock with songs like “Reelin’ in the Years,” “Do It Again” and “Hey Nineteen.” They went into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Last year's inductees included Snoop Dogg, Gloria Estefan, Sade, Jeff Lynne, Glen Ballard and Teddy Riley. The Songwriters Hall of Fame was established in 1969 to honor those creating the popular music. A songwriter with a notable catalog of songs qualifies for induction 20 years after the first commercial release of a song.

Songwriter Glen Ballard Is Going ‘Back to the Future’

How does a songwriter go about turning an iconic movie into a Broadway musical? “You take the Hippocratic oath: First do no harm,” says Glen Ballard, the co-composer of the new stage version of “Back to the Future,” the beloved 1985 film about a time-traveling teenager. For the show, which opened in New York last month, Ballard says he and his songwriting partner Alan Silvestri aimed to expand the audience’s relationships with the characters they love. In movies, he notes, “we see people doing things, but we’re not exactly sure why. Musical theater can provide that back story and make a great companion, but it is delicate surgery.”

Gale’s inspiration for “Back to the Future” came in 1980 after seeing a photo of his father as a teenager in an old high-school yearbook, and he has become a passionate custodian of the franchise. That role dates back to at least 1989, the year a notorious “Back to the Future” Nintendo game was released. “One of the worst games ever,” he said. “The creative differences and the chemistry just didn’t work,” Ingram said. (Through a press representative, Lloyd confirmed that his departure was a mutual decision over creative differences but declined to comment further.)
