With 10 out of 15 first-timers, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced a genre-spanning set of nominees for the class of 2024.
Among the rookie entries are three acts — Foreigner, Peter Frampton and Cher — long considered to be some of the Rock Hall's greatest snubs over the years. They're joined by other rockers (Ozzy Osbourne, Oasis, Lenny Kravitz, Sinead O'Connor) and pop favorites (Mariah Carey, Sade, Kool & the Gang.
The remaining nominees have all been nominated at least once: the Dave Matthews Band (2020, when it received the most fan votes but was not inducted), Mary J. Blige (2021), Jane's Addiction (2017) and hip-hop acts Eric B. & Rakim (2012) and A Tribe Called Quest (2022, 2023).
Public voting has been opened vote.rockhall.com; fans are permitted to vote for seven nominees once per day, and the results will be talked into one additional ballot to be counted amongst those cast by professional music industry voters during the next few months. The inductees are expected to be announced during late April.
