Mariah Carey, Oasis, White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, Joy Division/New Order and Soundgarden They were on the list of other years, but were not chosen. The first two names were in the match in 2024.
You can only apply for a place at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Artists and bands who released their first recording (album, EP, Single) at least 25 years before that edition. In other words, in this case, debut materials need to have come out up to 2000.
Although Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland, the 2025 ceremony will take place in Los Angeles, also in the United States. It will be in the fall of the northern hemisphere, on a date to be revealed.
At the 2024 event, they were honored Ozzy Osbourne (which was already part of the institution as a member of the Black Sabbath), Dave Matthews Band, Cher, The Called Quest Tribe, Mary J. Blige, Peter Frampton, Foreigner and Kool & The Gang. The choice of artists occurs after a vote between about 1,200 authorities on the subject, such as musicians and other industry professionals. A popular vote is performed, but corresponds to only one of the many votes.
Highlights among the nominees of 2025
Some names remembered in 2025 catch the public’s attention. THE OasisIn particular, it has greatly moved the global news since its return to a worldwide tour, to start in the coming months.
THE Mannain turn, it enters history as the first artist or band with a repertoire primarily or exclusively in Spanish to be nominated. Already Billy Idol ended up, curiously, after Ozzy Osbourne Having said in 2024 that he should already be at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
There are other names that are surprised by the absence in the institution after so long. THE Bad Companyfor example, it was one of the most popular rock bands in the 1970s, but did not get its space, as well as Joy Division and New Order – Two legendary alternative rock names that were nominated together because one was born from the ashes of the other. SoundgardenGrunge icon of the 1990s, is another example of a band that is still out, although contemporaries like Nirvana and Pearl Jam have already entered.
