( CNN ) -- The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Wednesday named its latest inductees , adding talent such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and 1960s singer-songwriter Donovan . The Beastie Boys , who have been blending hip-hop , punk and other genres since the 1980s , also made it onto the Hall of Fame 's final list for 2012 . So did Guns N ' Roses , the hard rock standard bearers of the late '80s and early '90s , and Laura Nyro , the innovative pop songstress . Other artists inducted by the Hall under the performer category included the '60s British group The Small Faces -- best known for their psychedelic hit `` Itchycoo Park '' -- and their subsequent incarnation , The Faces , which featured Rod Stewart . `` It 's quite a thrill and honor to make it in the Hall of Fame a second time , '' Stewart said in a statement . `` We ( The Faces ) were always synonymous with a good party , and with this list of fellow artists being inducted I 'm looking forward to a true piss up ... and it 's a hell of a good reason to reunite and celebrate with my old mates . '' The Faces ' Ronnie Wood added in a statement : `` Needless to say we are all very excited about this great honor . At the same time our thoughts go out to the late Steve Marriot -- who Rod and I greatly loved -- and of course to the much missed Ronnie Lane . '' The Beastie Boys also expressed excitement . `` We 're in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ? That 's ... crazy and awesome ! '' the group said in an expletive-laced statement . `` While we are very proud of the music we make , we have to acknowledge the inspiration from our families , friends and musicians like the Slits , Bad Brains , X-ray Spex , the Treacherous Three and too many others to possibly name . And most of all , we give thanks to New York City and the world of musical influence it provided for us . '' On his Twitter account , Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers commented : `` Those Crazy bastards at the hall of fame are putting us in this year ? ! ! Howabout them apples ! Seriously..I 'm very humbled and grateful . Wow . '' Slash , another inductee , also tweeted , `` Thanks for all the R & RHF mentions , Its quite an honor to be inducted . Cheers ! '' The acts that made the final cut beat out competition from the likes of The Cure and Rufus with Chaka Khan , who had been among the nominees . The Hall of Fame singled out the music producer and promoter Don Kirshner for the nonperformer award . Kirshner , whose live TV rock show helped wean 1970s audiences off lip-synched programming , died in January . And it cited the guitarist Freddie King for his early influence on rock and roll . The induction ceremony will take place on April 14 in Cleveland , Ohio . CNN 's Denise Quan and Michael Martinez contributed to this report .
