Lou Reed, Green Day, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts made the cut for the 2015 Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame class. Their fellow inductees include soul legend Bill Withers, guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Ringo Starr will receive an individual Award for Musical Excellence, even though he was inducted with the rest of the Beatles in 1988. The new inductees beat out Sting, Nine Inch Nails, The Smiths, and Kraftwerk for spots in the coolest Hall of Fame.
