The
2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performer inductees were chosen by more
than 500 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Artists
are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years
after the release of their first recording.

All inductees are
ultimately represented in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in
Cleveland, Ohio. Through approaches as creative and diverse as the music
itself, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum tells the story of
rock music with its exhibits, education programs and Library and
Archives.

Presenters and performers at the induction will be
announced at a later date. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction
Ceremony will be broadcast on Fuse; more information can be found at fuse.tv.

Pretty good list of inductees this year.
