The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced its 2015 inductees following the counting of 700 or so ballots from the artists, tastemakers and music-biz toilers who make up the voting body. Making the final cut were The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Green Day, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Lou Reed, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble and Bill Withers.

The other finalists were Chic, Kraftwerk, The Marvelettes, N.W.A., Nine Inch Nails, The Smiths, The Spinners and Sting.

The Award for Musical Excellence goes to Ringo Starr, while doo-wop group The "5" Royales will receive the Early Influence Award.
