Green Day and Joan Jett lead this year's class of Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductees. Along with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lou Reed and Bill Withers, we'll see the 2015 class inducted on April 18th. This will be the 30th "class" to gain membership to the hall.

To be considered, it has to be 25 years since the first significant music release from the artist. A panel of more than 700 voters determine who gets in.
