Congrats 2016 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Inductees

I may be a little behind the eight ball with this one, not by too much, the live ceremony was at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 8th. HBO aired it this past Saturday, so that's when us regular people had a chance to see it. We have to give respect to these musically talented artists, who put their life, heart and soul into their work for us to enjoy. So without further ado, here are this year's inductees...

Formed in 1973 in Rockford, Illinois.
