Green Day, Lou Reed Among Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees
In October of this year, we reported that outsider electronic act Kraftwerk and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts were up for induction in the 2015 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, alongside pop-punk prodigies Green Day, the melodic and morose Smiths, hip hop heroes N.W.A., the Velvet Underground's Lou Reed, Nine Inch Nails and more. Today, after much deliberation, the 2015 inductees have been chosen!
Green Day might be the most surprising act on the list, as this was the first year the California cool kids were eligible for nomination. (Bands become eligible 25 years after the release of their first single or album.) Joining Billie Joe Armstrong and crew are Lou Reed, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, soul icon Bill Withers, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble and The Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
