Next year’s inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame were announced Tuesday.
Bands Pearl Jam, Journey, Yes and Electric Light Orchestra will be honoured along with artists Joan Baez and the late Tupac Shakur.
All are first time nominees, except Yes, which has been nominated three times.
The Award for Musical Excellence will be presented to Nile Rodgers.
In a statement, Baez, 75, said: "I never considered myself to be a rock and roll artist. But as part of the folk music boom which contributed to and influenced the rock revolution of the '60s, I am proud that some of the songs I sang made their way into the rock lexicon. I very much appreciate this honor and acknowledgement by the Hall of Fame."
Acts are eligible for the Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first recording.
This year’s nominees included The Cars, Janet Jackson and Canada’s Steppenwolf.
The 32nd annual induction ceremony will take place April 7 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and will be taped for broadcast on HBO.
