Billboard Magazine reports:

The nominees for the Rock Hall this year are: English rock supergroup Bad Company; Southern blues-rockers The Black Crowes; powerhouse singer-songwriter Mariah Carey; early rock n’ roll hitmaker Chubby Checker; late blues belter Joe Cocker; radio-friendly punk rocker Billy Idol; post-punk-turned-dance-rock pioneers Joy Division/New Order; pop iconoclast Cyndi Lauper; Mexican rockers Maná; Britpop legends Oasis; critical and commercial hip-hop faves OutKast; jam band standard bearers Phish; grunge hitmakers Soundgarden; and garage rock minimalists The White Stripes.

Read the full article. Six of this year’s acts have been nominated before, including Cyndi Lauper and New Order, both of whom made the shortlist in 2023. Chic, who have been nominated a record 11 times, did not make this year’s list. Scandal!

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame has announced this year’s nominees. Eight of the acts – including Phish, Outkast, and Chubby Checker – are on the ballot for the first time.
