Last night's live broadcast of the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony on VH1 Classic had many memorable moments, including the reunion of Iggy & Madonna, which was almost as entertaining & awkward as the first time they met, but the true highlight we thought was Damien Rice's beautiful rendition of "Hallelujah" to honor Leonard Cohen's induction.   

Check it out below, and catch a special two and a half hour highlight edition that will premiere on VH1 on Saturday, March 22 at 11:00 PM.
