The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Class of 2015 were inducted April 18 at a star-studded event in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Public Hall.

This year will mark the 30th anniversary of the event, which featured an array of sights and sounds, as reported by the Washington Post.

The inductees included Ringo Starr (solo, but still inducted as a Beatle in 1988), The "5" Royales, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Lou Reed, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Green Day and Bill Withers.

Ever since Paul McCartney learned that Ringo had not been inducted as a solo artist, he had been on a mission to get him in the Hall as just that. Saturday night, Paul formally introduced his former Beatles band mate into the Hall of Fame.

In his acceptance speech, Starr said, "I was doing the press and they're all saying, 'Well, why did you wait so long?' It has nothing to do with me. You have to be invited. But anyway, apparently, I'm invited, and I love it."

The "5" Royales, who were active between the years 1945-1965, were also inducted. The group gained most of its notoriety when artists like Eric Clapton and Ray Charles started covering its songs.

According to USA Today, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, who were introduced by Miley Cyrus, gave an electrifying performance of the smash hit song "I Love Rock 'n' Roll." She also invited Tommy James to the stage to sing his 1968 hit "Crimson and Clover," the song she once covered on her album. Dave Grohl and Cyrus also joined her on the vocals.

In order to be eligible for induction, the band or artist must have released his/her first album 25 or more years ago.

Green Day, whose first album was released in 1989, was inducted in their first year of eligibility. The same was true of Nirvana last year.
