If it isn't strictly Rock n Roll, I could think of many influential artists that belong on this list, including artists I don't even really listen to. Where is the likes of Dolly Parton? There is other country music artists on this list - but no one is more distinct than her!

Others whom I expected to be listed were Freddie Mercury, Chrissie Hynde, Eurythmics, Iron Maiden, and even Linkin Park since they have been one of the highest selling rock bands over the past 10 years.

Level ∞

Jan 23, 2020

In my opinion, inducting people like Biggie Smalls and Whitney Houston reeks of a desperate effort to stay relevant. Rock music officially died in 1994 (just like jazz died in 1967).

Level 75

Jan 23, 2020

Agree. I love Whitney's music, but if she is included then when are we going to see Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, etc?

Level 76

Jan 25, 2020

Rock never died. It just went underground. The "unholy trinity" (big labels controlling ~90% of the global market) push garbage (not the band) because it's easy and fast to make and the profit marginal is good. Yes, I worked in the music industry for odd year and another.

Level ∞

Sep 11, 2020

You are right @WillemLAif. There is still some decent rock music being made, especially in places like Nashville and Austin. But it's no longer culturally relevant in the way that the Rolling Stones or the Beatles were. Nirvana is probably the last rock band that had a large amount of cultural caché.

Level 78

Technically, grunge is a subgenre of rock.

In '94?? There's been a lot of good rock since then.

Feb 15, 2024

Rock is very much alive. Just because it ain't The Doors, Hendrix, or Nirvana doesn't mean it's dead. Ever listened to The Storkes? Mac Demarco? Flaming Lips? Backseat Lovers? Alvvays? Hers? Tame Impala? Radiohead? The Growlers? 311? SWRMS? Helvetia? Wilco? The list goes on and on and on. Old Rock is really good don't get me wrong but just because it isn't your music taste or super popular doesn't mean it's dead. Jazz is also still alive too but I don't want to make another list.

Level 41

May 25, 2024

The Bends, Mellon Collie, OK Computer, Dig Me Out, Modest Mouse's first album... surely you could argue it was a slow death ending in the early 2000's

Level 82

Jul 19, 2024

Where are those classic bands like the 1910 Fruitgum Company, Ohio Express, and the Archies? No, just kidding, but I can think of a few that should be on this list, like the Guess Who, Blood, Sweat and Tears.

Level 78

Aug 8, 2024

Lots of important albums in the second half of the 90s, like Californication, Mellon Collie, OK Computer, Antichrist Superstar, Jagged Little Pill, The Offspring's Americana, Oasis' Morning Glory, etc.

You also have nu metal, even if it wasn't much more than a fad.

But I agree that rock is "dead". It's been dying a slow death since the early 2000s. People here seem to misunderstand the meaning of the expression. It doesn't mean it no longer exists. It means it's no longer in the cultural mainstream. And we're not talking only about popularity, but also impact. Bands like The Killers, The Strokes, etc., while popular, haven't been as innovative and impactful as the giants of the past, and they don't and won't have the same staying power. And those aren't even the bands at the forefront now. What do we have currently, Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons?

So yeah, rock is going the way of jazz. Still there, but on the fringes.

Agree with other commenters: The Rock 'n' Roll HOF has its share of inductees who don't fit that genre. (Whitney Houston - really?) But "rock 'n' roll" as part of the name does sound cooler than the "Pop HOF" (which brings to mind Britney Spears - uh, no thanks). And the term was coined first in Cleveland. (We here in Ohio like to misinterpret that and pretend that rock 'n' roll - the music itself - was born here, because we're cool like that. LOL) Rock 'n' roll as a music form is almost nonexistent these days, sadly. But on a more important point of debate - Genesis is in, Peter Gabriel is in, but not Phil Collins?! What the heck?!

Level 79

Jun 17, 2020

Surprised not to see Supertramp nor Bob Geldorf/Boomtown Rats on here, nor any of the soul divas (apart from Donna Summer and Aretha Franklin) and a few others I can't remember now.

Level 76

Aug 18, 2020

I imagine (desperately hope?) that in the next few years we'll be able to see our first nu metal and rap rock bands included - Korn just passed their 25th year, and most others will be eligible within the next 5. I imagine Linkin Park will be inducted in their first year of eligibility, 2025 (or maybe the hall of fame will continue to be dumb, who knows).

Level 76

Aug 18, 2020

...or maybe not because they have completely ignored pretty much all hard rock and metal up to this point. Nice to see NIN though.

Level 81

Oct 22, 2020

I seriously doubt they would induct Korn. Linkin Park, maybe, but kind of doubt that, too, honestly. but who knows

Level 76

Nov 9, 2020

Looking back on this ... no Slayer, Pantera, or Megadeth. So probably no hope for the ones I named.

Level 67

Jun 14, 2021

They'll never admit any nu metal bands. Linkin Park is the best bet because they're the most respectable nu metal band, and Rolling Stone likes to pay lip service to genres they hate, lest they seem ignorant. So you get Metallica for metal, the Ramones for punk, Rush for prog rock, plus one or two other token entries for each, but if they don't think a genre is sufficiently hip, no one from that genre is getting in. And given that most nu metal bands are a running joke at this point, I think it's unlikely they'll see any entries. Best not to get too worked up about it. No one familiar with Rolling Stone or Jann Wenner takes the Hall of Fame very seriously. As Arlo Guthrie said when giving a speech at his father Woody's Hall of Fame induction, "I don't know where my father would be tonight if he were still alive, but I can guarantee you he wouldn't be here."

Level 81

Jun 14, 2021

Is the Rock and Roll hall of fame administered by Rolling Stone magazine? That explains a lot.

Level 67

Jun 15, 2021

I think it's technically not Rolling Stone, but the Hall's principal officer is Jann Wenner, the founder and chairman of Rolling Stone (and a first-rate goober). He brings the same myopic and selfish approach to the Hall of Fame as he does to his magazine, so a criticism against one is valid against the other. But on the other hand, why celebrate different genres when you can just put Bruce Springsteen on the cover for the fortieth time?

Level 76

Nov 20, 2021

This is always interesting to check back in on. My musical tastes have since (mostly) moved away from nu metal, and I've realized there are a lot more bands that should be there that are missing.

For now, the biggest non-inclusions that actually baffle me as to why they aren't there include Slayer, Iron Maiden, Megadeth (sensing a pattern here), Tool, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pantera, Rage Against the Machine, Joy Division, and especially King Crimson and The Smiths.

Level 76

Nov 20, 2021

As for bands that aren't eligible yet that I really think deserve a spot, still Linkin Park (about 90% of mainstream rock music since the mid-2000s has been directly influenced by them and I'd argue that they're the most influential rock band of the century so far), Slipknot (same as Linkin Park but for metal), Thrice (one of if not the most consistently amazing catalogue in the history of rock music, although I don't know if they're mainstream enough to merit inclusion), Bring Me the Horizon (apart from Linkin Park, the most innovative and genre-defining rock artist of the century), The Strokes (pioneers of modern indie rock and some of the best hitmakers in the history of the genre) System of a Down (don’t think I even need to explain this one, they’re legends), and maybe Coldplay or Muse. I’d also like to see The Dillinger Escape Plan or Converge but there’s almost no chance of them getting a spot.

Level 76

Nov 20, 2021

...and considering that the hall of fame doesn’t really care about sticking to rock music anymore, I’d also say that Taylor Swift definitely deserves a spot when she’s eligible, easily one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation. Same with Jason Isbell although again I don’t know if he’s popular enough. Probably Twenty One Pilots too.

Level 56

May 22, 2024

Foundational metal acts like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden have been nominated but not gotten it. Slayer (AFIK) has never even been nominated. So forget any Nu Metal acts; they are not getting in.

Level 41

May 25, 2024

I would debate there are much better musicians/ bands than 21 Pilots, Muse and Coldplay... mostly because I at least have found them to at times be very cookie-cutter... I love Parachutes but I'd debate Martin's songwriting becomes majorly generic after The Scientist. 21 Pilots similarly... but I'm biased because despite having better songs they'll be most known for Stressed Out :(

I would say Portugal. The Man, The Weeknd, Arctic Monkeys, and Adele are Mainstream Artists who stand out creatively and musically and have reached heights similar to Muse and Coldplay

Level 81

Oct 21, 2020

Well in the last few years with the induction of Depeche Mode, The Cure, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, The Moody Blues, and most importantly Nine Inch Nails, can't say this list is completely irrelevant anymore. But there are still a large number of strange omissions and inclusions.

Level 68

Nov 18, 2020

No Bad Brains and no Jethro Tull?! What is going on here?!

Level 56

Jan 19, 2021

Most obvious omissions to me are early alternative bands like Joy Division and Sonic Youth

Level 67

Jun 15, 2021

There are lots of glaring omissions, but given the kind of music Rolling Stone champions, it is indeed odd that Joy Division isn't in.

How is War not in yet? Criminal. Also no Amy Winehouse or The Specials.

Level 67

Jun 14, 2021

Because War is good for absolutely nothing. Jann Wenner hates ska and punk, so the Specials are a long shot, but they might have enough cool factor to get in. Amy Winehouse is a lock for admission, but you can't be admitted until 25 years after the release of your first album, so she won't be eligible until around 2030 or so.

Oct 19, 2021

There's a lot of personal opinion, critic's darlings and record sales popularity, but I really am shocked Carole King didn't get in until now. She has written well over 100 songs that have made it to the charts since the 1950s when she was still in high school. Her album Tapestry was an enormous seller that ushered in the singer-songwriter era. Any female singer who sticks around for very long eventually covers one of her songs. Personal taste and popularity aside she has been hugely influential.

Jun 13, 2022

For conistency: in prior years, the acts have been alphabetized by first name. Thus, Buddy Holly before Chuck Berry, Jackie Wilson before Marvin Gaye, Cat Stevens before Hall & Oates, etc. That seems to have stopped in 2019, where you have Stevie Nicks before Radiohead; in 2020, Whitney Houston before Nine Inch Nails; in 2021, Jay-Z before Carole King. The 2022 order should be: Carly Simon, Dolly Parton, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Lionel Richie, Pat Benatar.

I don't care if you use first or last name, as long as it's consistent, since that helps us fill in the holes. Going by first name seems to make sense when you have a mix of personal names and band names.

Feb 16, 2023

Yeah I guessed like half of those and was surprised some of them weren't on there. I guess for some of those like Ozzy and Diana Ross, they aren't necessarily added as solo performers if their group is added. An exception seems to be that all of the Beatles except for Ringo are included

Level 73

The rock and roll hall of fame is a joke. Some of these "artists" have done next to nothing and were inducted well before other talents that have 10-20 times the body of work.

Level 50

May 15, 2023

Jethro Tull should be there. Aqualung is one of the greatest albums of all time. Acts that aren't rock and roll: madonna, summer, Womack, miles Davis, all of the rap, disco etc. I understand blues because that is the root of rock. Dolly Parton wouldn't know a rock song if it kicked her in the ass.

Level 55

Ironic last comment, considering her most recent album

Level 46

May 17, 2023

How is Eminem there and not Sinatra? If you’re gonna just omit that it’s called “Rock’n’Roll Hall Of Fame”…

Artists I think should appear there.

Judas Priest, Steppenwolf, Foghat, Dio, Slayer, Korn, The Sonics, Plastic People Of The Universe, Bauhaus, Devo, Attack Attack!, Architects, Venom, SOAD, Rammstein, Falco.

Also metal bands, like rest of the big 4 and maybe Death and Possesed. You know, those that actually pioneered the genres.

Needs an update.

Level 74

I just grinded to get 100 so I could finally get the Music Badge and it was getting so intense when I was at 90 and 95 and anytime I could think of something I'd super excited, for a bunch of these I just ended up guessing random last names that I thought had a good chance of getting something and when I got to 100 I was so happy I literally tried almost all the bands and old singers I could think of and now I have the badge I'm so happy

Level 61

Here's a list of rock singers/bands that sould be here:

Europe

Scorpions

Iron Maiden

Oasis

Don McLean

Survivor

Village People

Alice Cooper

The Cranberries

No Doubt

Nik Kershaw

The Bangles

Boston

Deep Purple

Linkin Park

Evanescence

The White Stripes

Nickelback

The Killers

Ben E. King

Sting (I know he's in The Police but still)

Level 48

Feb 15, 2024

King Crimson, New Order, Carpenters, Sonic Youth, The Strokes, Steppenwolf, Alice In Chains, and so many more it'd be crazy to name em all.

Level 66

May 21, 2024

Survivor, village people, evanescence, the killers, and Europe absolutely should not be in the HoF. Neither should White Stripes but Jack White solo should be someday. Meg White might be the worst drummer of a successful band ever, even including Ringo. Don McLean, Scorpions, and Sting are iffy

Level 48

May 22, 2024

no offense but i think you may have forgotten about the thousands of subgeneres of rock music. there is no such thing as plain old rock. half of these artists are in here because they have made some sort of rock song/album even if it is rap-rock, disco-rock, or country-rock. as much as i hate some of the artists you said i still think they should be inducted. (also i hate how they vote. why not just induct them all?)

Level 67

May 24, 2024

The Killers are not eligible yet. You become eligible 25 years after the release of your first album, so they will be eligible in 2029, and I suspect they will get in very quickly. So will the Strokes when they become eligible in 2026. The White Stripes became eligible in 2023 and will be inducted in the next year or two. And the person who said the Killers "should absolutely not" be in the Hall of Fame is absurd. They are a globally successful rock band that has released a ton of great songs, what is by consensus a top-ten rock album of the 21st century, and what is almost certainly the most successful, enduring, and near-universally adored rock song of the past 25 years. It doesn't matter where in the world I hear it (and I've heard it in a lot of places), the room absolutely explodes when Mr. Brightside comes on.

They are a shoo-in, and rightly so.

15% didn't get the Beatles?

Why will this be updated only every other year?

Level 44

Feb 13, 2024

europe, TOTO, ben. e king, alice cooper, europe, survivor, rammstein, steppenwolf... this is very subjective and overall a joke.

Level 66

May 21, 2024

Finding out Dave Matthews Band is in the HoF ruined my day

Level 86

May 21, 2024

Why does Everly suffice for the Everly brothers but Isley and Allman both require the word brothers?

Level 65

May 7, 2025

and doobies works for the doobie brothers

Level 55

May 24, 2024

As a type-in, can Yusuf Islam be accepted, as he uses both and was going by Yusuf in 2014?

Level 67

May 24, 2024

Lots of questionable choices, but the omissions of John Denver and Iron Maiden are absolutely baffling. So is admitting the Dave Matthews Band before Weezer or the Smashing Pumpkins.

Level 70

May 27, 2024

When you try "Bush" but only Kate Bush is correct... :(

Level 63

May 31, 2024

Slayer and Judas Priest should be in it. I’m also surprised Iron Maiden, Linkin Park and Blink 182 are not included

Level 46

Jun 30, 2024

Tf is RATM doing there? I’m not saying they don’t belong, just I’d think of like 20 who belong much more such strange choice…surprised but glad The Clash made it here though.

The 20 would be - SOAD, Nickleback, Korn, Slayer, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Emerson Lake Palmer, Leadbelly, Frank Sinatra, Kraftwerk, Rammstein, Daft Punk, Dead Kennedys, Link Wray, Foghat, Limp Bizkit, Blink 182, Faith No More, Mayhem, Cannibal Corpse

Level 70

Apr 1, 2025

Mary J Blige but still no Iron Maiden? I'm calling the police.

Level 69

Apr 16, 2025

Nickelback not being here is crazy

Level 46

Apr 27, 2025

I'm sure I tried Duran Duran a few times, but it didn't work.

Level 65

May 5, 2025

Are you going to update to reflect the 7 new performers inducted in 2025? Thanks!

Level 48

May 5, 2025

I think that John Coltrane is just as deserving as Miles Davis and Ray Charles

Level 65

May 7, 2025

You can vote on the rock and roll hall of fame website or just continue to complain here if you think that might be more effective.

To be clear, though, this quiz is to try to guess everyone in the Hall of Fame, not to make a case for people you think have been snubbed or don't deserve it.

Thanks to the creator for making it.

Pavement

Iron Maiden

Phish

Wu-Tang Clan

John Coltrane

in '26?

Level 65

I typed "Credence Clearwater Revival," and it wasn't accepted. Please fix this.
