The Rock n' Roll Hall of Shame, I mean Fame, just announced it's inductees into the 2015 class, and they are:

Lou Reed, Green Day, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Bill Withers, and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.  Also, Ringo Starr will be given the Award for Musical Excellence.

Good for Stevie Ray Vaughn and Lou Reed.  No offense to Green Day, but I don't consider them to be a genre defining band.  Sure, they're a great band with lots of hits, but to induct Green Day into the Hall over bands like Deep Purple and Judas Priest is ridiculous.
