Green Day are among the 2015 class of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Also headed to the hall in 2015 are Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.
Those two bands will be inducted into the hall on April 18th, along with six other artists: Lou Reed, Ringo Starr, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, the “5” Royales, and Bill Withers.
Bands become eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after their first single. Green Day first released 1,000 Hours in April 1989 through Lookout! Records, making them eligible just this year.
