The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017 appears to have a little something for everyone.
The six performer inductees announced Tuesday reflect a wide reach in time and style, ranging from Joan Baez, who began her folk career in the early 1960s, to Pearl Jam, a leader of the Seattle grunge sound, and the late rapper Tupac Shakur, who released hit albums in the 1990s.
The three other inductees include two English bands, Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and Yes, which broke through in the early 1970s, and San Francisco-based Journey, which scored its biggest hits, including the anthemic Don’t Stop Believin’, in the 1980s.
Producer, songwriter and guitarist Nile Rodgers will receive the Award for Musical Excellence. Chic, the pioneering disco group he co-founded, was nominated for the 11th time in the performer category, but did not gain admittance.

Deserved is an understatement.
No one will ever top Pac aka the GOAT. -
I was gone make a thread about the craziest or extreme ? you did for a album but ill just drop it here.
I was a young buck and I remember catching a bus to pick up Remember Me Are You Still Down double cassette. The bus ride was pretty long on top of that it dropped me at least a mile from Best Buy and I lived in St. Paul Minnesota (Lil Yachty Voice) so it was cold as ? , but I braved that. Got back home set the cassettes up vertically like statues, admired them, read the credits man seems like yesterday I heard Pac saying I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghettooooooooo.............. Soilder in the house. -
Pac a true music icon.

In a short time, he's accomplished something that must artists have spent decades to achieve. -
