    The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a museum dedicated to archiving the history of rock music.  It was created in 1983 but did not have a home until 1995, when it opened its Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, after civic leaders pledged $65 million in public money to fund its construction.  The first group of inductees included Chuch Berry, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, and James Brown, to name a few.
