However, eligible acts The Smiths, Nine Inch Nails, Kraftwerk and NWA have not been allowed to enter. "I had to go for a walk when I heard the news," said Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. "We're in incredible company and I'm still trying to make sense of this. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has always held something special for me because my heroes were in there. This is a great time for us to sort of reflect and look back with gratitude."
