Green Day, Reed, Starr Into Rock Hall

The 30th annual induction ceremony will be held at Cleveland, Ohio’s Public Hall next April 18. Public tickets go on sale Thursday.

Green Day made it in the group’s first year of eligibility. The Bay Area band led by Billie Joe Armstrong made the 1990s slackers anthem “Dookie” and hit a peak with the politically-themed concept disc American Idiot a decade later. Armstrong also starred in a Broadway musical based on American Idiot.

Reed, who died in October 2013 following complications from a liver transplant, is already in the hall as a member of the Velvet Underground. He was at his best exploring the underside of his home city, in the hit “Walk on the Wild Side” and fierce crack-era album New York.

Withers brought a jazz and funk touch to 1970s era singer-songwriter material like “Ain’t No Sunshine,” ‘‘Use Me” and “Just the Two of Us.” He hasn’t released new music in nearly three decades.

Jett emerged from the all-female punk-era pioneers the Runaways to lead a band of men with punchy hits, none bigger than the declaration “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band married blues and rock during the 1960s, led by its leader’s harmonica and the lead guitar of Mike Bloomfield.

Blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan was a 1980s prodigy for his work with band Double Trouble on songs like “Pride and Joy” and “Texas Flood.” Like hero Jimi Hendrix his life was cut short, dying in a 1990 plane crash.

The “5’’ Royales will be inducted in the early influence category. The former gospel group recorded the original version of “Dedicated to the One I Love,” which became a hit later for the Shirelles and the Mamas & the Papas.

Inductees are chosen by a vote of more than 700 artists, historians and music industry representatives. An artist needed to have first released material no later than 1989.

The Rock Hall of Fame, which is based in Cleveland, will open a new exhibit dedicated to the 2015 inductees.
