Eminem, Lionel Richie, Carly Simon, Eurythmics, Duran Duran and Pat Benatar have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The list also includes Dolly Parton, who initially resisted the honor.
The honorees – voted on by more than 1,000 artists, historians and music industry professionals – ‘each had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture and helped change the course of rock’n’roll,’ said John Sykes, the chairman of the Rock Hall, in a statement Wednesday.

Parton shared a note of joy on Wednesday.
‘I am honored and humbled by the fact that I have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,’ wrote the chart topping crooner.
‘Of course I will accept it gracefully. Thanks to everyone that voted for me and to everyone at the @rockhall. I will continue to work hard and try to live up to the honor.’
Back story: Parton had gone on social media to ‘respectfully bow out’ of the process, saying she did not want to take votes away from the remaining nominees and had not ‘earned that right.’ The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation responded by saying ballots had already been sent and it was up to the voters to decide if Parton was elected. Parton later said she would accept an induction. Seen in March
Parton had gone on social media to ‘respectfully bow out’ of the process, saying she did not want to take votes away from the remaining nominees and had not ‘earned that right.’
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation responded by saying ballots had already been sent and it was up to the voters to decide if Parton was elected. Parton later said she would accept an induction.
To be eligible, artists are required to have released their first record 25 years prior to induction.
The hall also announced Wednesday that Judas Priest and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis are getting the award for musical excellence and that Harry Belafonte and Elizabeth Cotten will be honored with the Early Influence Award.
He made it too: Lionel Richie performs at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in April
Other artists and groups that failed this year for induction in the performer category are A Tribe Called Quest, Rage Against the Machine, Dionne Warwick, Carly Simon, Judas Priest, Beck, Kate Bush, DEVO, Fela Kuti, MC5 and the New York Dolls.
Parton is most associated with country music and is in the Country Hall of Fame, but she has performed songs with a rock feel. Artists who have made both the Rock Hall and Country Hall of Fame include Brenda Lee, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Hank Williams and the Everly Brothers.
The induction ceremony will be held Nov. 5 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
