The music foundation will also honor Warren Zevon and Chubby Checker of “Twist” fame, plus bands like Salt-N-Pepa, the White Stripes and Soundgarden.

Chubby Checker, whose "The Twist" was a global smash in 1960, has been eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame since the first class was inducted in 1986, but he was never even nominated until this year.
