Joan Baez is one of five first-time nominees who will be going into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2017.
Eligible since the inaugural class was inducted in 1986 induction, the folk singer, activist and peer (and former lover) of inductee Bob Dylan is the biggest surprise in a group that will include Electric Light Orchestra, Journey, Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur and Yes in the performer category, and Chic's Nile Rodgers in the non-performer award for musical excellence slot.
Congratulations @PearlJam on being inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!
