Most Notable Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Snubs

Can you name the most notable rock bands not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that are eligible for induction by their number one and number two hits? Every band/ solo artist listed is snubbed from the PERFORMER category, and only the performer category. Some bands have received other awards from the hall and are considered to be inducted, but I only consider the performer category inductees to be actual inductees.

The Bangles probably haven't been eligible since 1989 because their first album was released in 1984

Thank you for letting me know! I must have switched them with somebody else. I’ll be updating the quiz soon and I’ll fix it. The class of 2026 was recently announced, and did fix a few on this list!

Judas Priest and Jimmy Buffett ARE "actual inductees" whether you "consider them to be inducted" or not. Please remove them from this quiz.

Level 51

Apr 20, 2026

These are bands snubbed from the performer category, which they both are. I don’t see the other awards as anything other than consolation prizes, anyway.
