The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees for 2013 have been announced.

Other nominees include:
Canadian progressive rockers Rush, recognized for their complex rock songs that draw on blues; Randy Newman, known for his sharp, ironic pop songs; Heart, whose hits include 80s ballads "These Dreams" and "Alone;" and rap group Public Enemy, who explored American race relations with songs such as "Fight the Power."
Two non-performers were also inducted: Lou Adler, executive producer of the rock-musical cult hit "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and pop arranger, composer and producer Quincy Jones.
Inductees will be officially honored at a ceremony in Los Angeles in April.
