Once a year, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony celebrates the artistry of pop's greatest talents. The 2003 affair nodded to a handful of musicians who began in Britain during the mid-'70s, and wound up teaching the world to sing their songs - The Clash, The Police, Elvis Costello. It also tipped the hat to a pair of extremes. AC/DC rocked hysterically for three decades, and the Righteous Brothers offered the world blue-eyed soul, '60s style.

Check out photos from the show, videos, and read about what happened at the show.
2003 INDUCTEES
The Police
From reggae-loving punk outfit to classic rock superheroes - the Police's career is an example of genuine artistry getting its due.
AC/DC
Angus and the guys made some truly mischievous metal by banking on the power of relentless thud.
The Clash
Punk's most political outfit had an abrasive edge and catchy tunes. Their experimental side proved just how innovative they were as artists.
Elvis Costello + The Attractions
His lyrics had a great viciousness. His melodies were irresistible. He moved from venomous ditties to splendid Bacharach tunes.
Also:The Righteous Brothers.
