This year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony comes with numerous story lines: Tupac Shakur becoming the first solo hip-hop artist in the Hall, potential reunions of Journey and Yes with the singers who appeared on their biggest hits, and disco pioneer Nile Rodgers unsure how to feel about the honor he is being given.
Here’s a look at 2017’s inductees, with the songs and controversies that defined them.
The performers will be honored at a celebration at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 7, which will be televised on HBO and on SiriusXM on April 29 at 8 p.m.
