The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its class of inductees for 2025.
Inductees were announced during the April 27 episode of “American Idol,” with Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden and Chubby Checker among the seven acts who will be enshrined in the performer category.
Salt-N-Pepa will enter with the musical influence award, which recognized artists who have impacted culture through their music and performance style. The pair joins Outkast to make it the sixth consecutive year at least one rap act will be inducted.
2025 also marks the fourth straight year four or more women will be inducted.
While the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame prepares to welcome a new class of talent, several notable nominees, which were announced in February, did not make the final list of inductees.
Oasis and Mariah Carey both failed to get inducted for the second straight year. The Black Crowes, Billy Idol and Phish, which notably won the fan vote, also didn’t make the cut.
The inductees are determined by an international voting panel made up of more than 1,200 „artists, historians, and music industry professionals,“ the Hall of Fame said in a press release announcing the 2025 nominees.
„The selection criteria include an artist’s impact on music culture, influence on other musicians that have followed, as well as the scope and longevity of their career and body of work,“ the release stated.
But some fans on social media couldn’t believe the high profile performers did not get inducted.
“I love you @MariahCarey and you don’t need a Rock n Roll induction to validate what you’ve meant to the music industry over the last 35 years and the numerous lives you’ve impacted!” one fan wrote. “You are ONE OF ONE and don’t ever forget that!”
“Blows my mind that Billy Idol is not on this list,” one person commented
“You’re missing the winner of the fan vote. @phish. What’s the point of having people vote if it doesn’t mean anything?” asked another X user.
Phish came in first in the fan vote, followed by Bad Company and Billy Idol, per Variety.
„The top five vote-getters in the public fan poll form one ballot, which is weighted the same as the rest of the submitted ballots,“ according to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The induction ceremony will stream live Nov. 8 from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Disney+ and on Hulu the next day. An induction special will also air at a later date on ABC.
Here’s a look at all the inductees across the various categories:
Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories. He has seen every episode of “Saved by the Bell” at least 50 times, longs to perfect the crane kick from “The Karate Kid” and performs stand-up comedy, while also cheering on the New York Yankees and New York Giants. A graduate of Rutgers University, he is the married father of two kids who believe he is ridiculous.
