Editor's Note

Fireworks from rock's biggest night

While the Grammys have long been dubbed "music's biggest night" – and, typically, feature at least some six-string highlights – the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony tends to take that 'biggest night' crown when it comes to rock, and all of its innumerable sub-genres.

At a given Rock Hall induction ceremony, you'll often see:

Iconic bands burying the hatchet, and reuniting onstage, with estranged former members
Headline-grabbing turns from legendary solo performers
Onstage collaborations you probably never saw coming

This year's ceremony – held this past weekend at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles – happened to feature all three. Hear (and see) what we went down below.
