Several first-time nominees are on the list, including Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Joy Division/New Order, Maná, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes. Each nominee has made a significant impact on the music industry with their unique styles and contributions.
Carey and Checker stand out as two powerful candidates, with Carey holding 19 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and Checker’s iconic recordings of “The Twist” and “Let’s Twist Again.” Oasis and The Black Crowes, known for their distinct sounds and storied histories, bring additional depth to the list of nominees.
The induction ceremony for the 2025 inductees will take place in Los Angeles this fall, revealing the artists selected for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The selection criteria focus on an artist’s impact on other musicians, the longevity of their career, and their innovation and excellence in style and technique.
