The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will once again honor talents that influenced the music industry. Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, Journey, Yes, Electric Light Orchestra and Joan Baez will join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees in 2017.

People reported that the 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction is scheduled to be held on April 7, 2017 at the Brooklyn's Barclays Center, where some of the inductees and other artists can properly celebrate the honor that will be bestowed on them. The 2017 induction will be the 32th ceremony for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees for 2017 have contributed to the industry: Joan Baez as an iconic folk singer-songwriter, Yes as a progressive rock prototypes, Electric Light Orchestra as '70s classical crossovers, Tupac as a popular and influential rapper and Pearl Jam as grunge divinities.
