Celebrating the best and brightest rock stars on the planet, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just announced their inductees for 2015.
“Welcome to Paradise” rockers Green Day will be added to the illustrious roster in their first year of eligibility (25 years after their debut record), joined by Joan Jett and the late Lou Reed.
Furthermore, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble will be inducted at the April 18th, 2015 event, as will the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Bill Withers.
Also on the docket is a special recognition for Ringo Starr, who will receive the Award for Musical Excellence.
Unfortunately, Sting, NWA and Nine Inch Nails couldn’t gather the needed support for 2015, but there’s always next year!
