Radiohead, Roxy Music and Janet Jackson will join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year, alongside Def Leppard, The Zombies, Stevie Nicks and The Cure.
The seven inductees are the biggest intake since 2004; and bring the total number of acts in the hall to 330.
Nicks was already a member as part of Fleetwood Mac; and becomes the first woman to enter the Hall of Fame twice.
“To be recognised for my solo work makes me take a deep breath and smile,” she said. “It’s a glorious feeling.”
Artists are eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their debut album.
Def Leppard, Roxy Music and Stevie Nicks were all accepted the first time their names appeared on the ballot.
Janet Jackson got in on her third attempt – finally earning a place alongside her brothers in the Jackson 5, 21 years after their induction.
The star, whose hits include Rhythm Nation, That’s The Way Love Goes and Together Again is one of America’s most successful female artists; and the only singer in US chart history to have three albums that each contain at least five top 10 hits.
