New rockers and even a rap group have officially been added to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .
The museum made the announcement of who would be inducted in December, but the show was recorded in early April before being show on HBO this past weekend.
Cheap Trick, Chicago, Deep Purple, Steve Miller and N.W.A. will all be inducted to the Rock Hall in April 2016 at a ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Cheap Trick members, Bun E. Carlos, Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson and Robin Zander, are known for the song "I Want You To Want Me." The group's first album was released in 1977.
Chicago, made up of Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane, James Pankow, Walter Parazaider and Danny Seraphine, put together rock and jazz. They started their career as the Chicago Transit Authority in 1969 and later went with the simpler Chicago after pressure from the city with the same name. They're known for songs like "Does Anyone Really Know What Time It is? and "Saturday In The Park."
Deep Purple, known for "Smoke On the Water," includes Ritchie Blackmore, David Coverdale, Rod Evans, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice. The band has sold more than 100 million albums over their long career that reaches back to 1968.
N.W.A. got their start in 1986 and will be inducted with members DJ Yella, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube and MC Ren. The group brought the hard life in Compton, California into the spotlight and is considered by "Rolling Stone" as one of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time." "Straight Outta Compton" is not only one of the group's albums; recently a biographical movie of the same name was released.
Steve Miller is the only solo artist on the list for 2016. He came on the music scene in the late 60s and had hits like "Fly Like An Eagle" and "Abracadabra."
