N.W.A, Cheap Trick, Chicago, Deep Purple and Steve Miller have been named the 2016 performer inductees in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

This year’s five inductees will be celebrated at the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on April 8 at New York City’s Barclays Center. Tickets for the event go on sale in February, while a select number of pre-sale tickets will be available exclusively to hall of fame members. A television broadcast of the ceremony will be aired on HBO in the spring of 2016.

In conjunction with the ceremony, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will also honor its 2016 performer inductees with the opening of a special exhibit in Cleveland.

Boring picks. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame never fails to disappoint.

Mess. Just let them in already! It's not a cute look anymore keeping them out like this.

Definitely surprised The Smiths didn't make it. I might have expected Nine Inch Nails in there as well.

And poor Janet. As long as the voters remain as sexist as they are, she'll probably never get inducted, even though she is clearly worthy.
