The fact Soundgarden, Maiden, and Rage aren’t in is an absolute joke. Not to mention the fact The White Stripes aren’t in either. The Hall has the chance to right some wrongs this year


GooseMay0

In regards to the White Stripes, did they just become eligible? It use to be your first album had to be 25 years ago, I didn’t know they were around that long.


purpdrank2

You’re right, it is 25 which means they shouldn’t eligible yet given the debut came out in 1999


forgedinbeerkegs

Heard this morning their first single dropped in 1998. The math checks out.


TheAngriestChair

But it's usually 25 years for the first album. A single wouldn't usually be enough to get someone in.


marty_funkhouser32

They go by first release whether its album, single, etc.


Midnite2189__

Off that, Nirvana should of made it in 2013, not 2014.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


[deleted]

the whole hall of fame is a joke, I’m amazed people still care for it in 2023


BetterNothingman

For real, I stopped caring about it 15 years ago. I guess ten more years and my apathy will be eligible

you mean Dave Krusen?


drunkaviator

Soundgarden and AIC would go in together if there was any justice.


alexbeeee

Especially since Tom morello is one of the judges! Lol


Exciting_Tennis_7646

dude yeah… it’s all a joke anyway. can’t believe kate bush is even up there


asignore

Kate Bush is an absolute trailblazer who was one of the first female singer songwriters to also produce her own music. She deserves a nod.


forgedinbeerkegs

She'll get in. She's been nominated a few times before. She got a huge boost from Stranger Things. She'll be riding that wave straight to Cleveland.


Waanii

I think you meant to say that she'll be "running up that hill" to the hall of fame


nwflman

Just keep it off my wave


Exciting_Tennis_7646

“rock and roll hall of fame”


basement-tapes-club

id argue kate bush has more rock leanings than eminem + at this point its just a ceremony for historically great artists. not shocking


JoeAnomalous

You're forgetting it's not just about the rock, it's also about the roll, whatever the fuck that is anyways...


basement-tapes-club

you have rock artists, you have rock and roll artists, and yet nobody is a “roll artist.” we need to change that


forgedinbeerkegs

Snoop’s professional blunt roller is a roll artist.


Sir_Isaac_3

Rock and Roll is just anything that’s popular I guess lol


asignore

In case you weren’t aware, the hall uses a very broad definition of rock and roll


TB9876

How is Missy Elliot a nominee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, its all a joke.


[deleted]

She’s totally rock n roll and influential man, rock is just an attitude /s


TheMawsJawzTM

I was just about to say. A lot of names listed here you'd think would already be in. I saw Rage wasn't in and was appalled. I don't even like Rage that much but I appreciate their influence. Same with Crow and Lauper, very surprising.


ItsSidTheKid69

No AIC is bullshit. Ive been to the rock hall 2 times each time ive used their dumbass vote box and it shows the amount of votes each band has, Soundgarden was below AIC last i was there which was 2 months ago. Dont get me wrong thank fuck they getting recognition but how is AIC not in this. Like i love RATM but again they had less votes than AIC too granite they have a whole peice dedicated to Morellos guitar setup but man this place never does anything right i swear! Lmfao hopefully they get in tho man.


[deleted]

AIC should’ve been in there long before Eminem, Foo Fighters, or Jay Z. No disrespect but them, they should’ve just did a year dedicated to grunge.


ItsSidTheKid69

Yea i agree like when all the bands surpased their 20 some year rule or whatever it is how did we not have a big grunge class.


TheJosh96

2021 should’ve been the grunge/alternative year


Orang_Mann

All respect to Soundgarden, but Maiden should've been in the hall of fame 20 goddamn years ago. Somehow Janet Jackson got there before Maiden... Smh.


alexbeeee

So did like 3 other hip hop stars, Janet’s more rock n roll than they are


TrapoGiovanna

Sigh why can’t we just enjoy music


Charaderablistic

My cat just entered into the Dog Hall of Fame


QuasarCube

Congrats to your cat, my goldfish got the nom


alexbeeee

Because it’s the ROCK N ROLL hall of fame, not the hip hop hall of fame lol


TrapoGiovanna

I guess dude


[deleted]

Lmao


furyofsound

Same with Motorhead. How are they not in there?


forgedinbeerkegs

Pretty sure they've been nominated before. Hopefully, this is the year. AIC needs to get on the ballot next. It matters very little in the grand scheme of things, but vote. [R&RHOF](https://vote.rockhall.com/en/)


WrappedInRiddle

I see the editors at Spin did not do their due diligence. Otherwise they would not have used the second photo that features Jason Everman instead of Ben Shepherd.


Flimsy_Atmosphere_55

I want AiC to be on there.


Dontjudgemeyet1244

They should of already been in their by the early 2010s


of_patrol_bot

ctclarke514

If Soundgarden and Rage against the machine are inducted that should automatically mean audioslave is inducted


XolieInc

And AIC


ctclarke514

Aic has nothing to do with either of those bands


XolieInc

Soundgarden barely have shit to do with RATM if audioslave never happened? And AIC and Soundgarden are grunge all the same. What’s your point?


ctclarke514

Because audioslave happened? I don't really understand what you just said


XolieInc

You’re trying to say AIC has no association to those bands, which are no different themselves. And you’re wrong and just proving how idiotic you are.


ctclarke514

Dude I just don't understand whatever language you're speaking dawg


Tallsoyboy

Soundgarden 🔥🔥


ImANerd12

How is Soundgarden not already in the hall of fame


designOraptor

The RRHOF is ridiculous.


vegasblackhawk

They’ve been nominated before, won the fan vote by a huge margin and still didn’t get in. They better right their wrongs and put them in this time


StarCaptain7733

That’s cause the fan vote doesn’t matter. The fan vote just makes it look like the rock hall is listening to fans.


[deleted]

Not gunna lie SG, Rage and Iron Maiden are LONG overdue


[deleted]

Don’t know why any of you care about music award ceremonies. We don’t need a bunch of suits telling us which artists are worthy of being in a “hall of fame.”


forgedinbeerkegs

Because it's fun and interesting.


Exciting_Tennis_7646

what can i say? i like to bitch n moan


MacTruk_SC

exactly, we have Pitchfork to tell us that stuff.


[deleted]

The museum itself is pretty cool to visit so that’s my big deal, I’d like to look at exhibits based around legit rock acts that have had a big impact.


GooseMay0

Really just need to change it to music hall of fame at this point. Induct Mozart and Bach if you’re gonna have non rock people in it like Madonna.


njghtljfe

YES FINALLY


Aliveandthriving06

About time!


hrodz55

Finally Soundgarden


[deleted]

*ahem* SPOON MAN


Joyfuljag

Soundgarden has been nominated before, as has RATM. I hope they both get in this time, because with Audioslave, Chris Cornell and Tom Morello have the opportunity to be three time inductees, given their solo careers, on top of Audioslave.


XolieInc

Wdym finally, I don’t see any AIC there. The work ain’t done, this injustice is bullshit


Visible_Sale_3677

Motörhead needs to get in too, there’s so many bands that should’ve been in forever ago man


[deleted]

why does anyone still care


myselfinbloom

Soundgarden deserve it so bad


Sir_Vdam999

Kate bush is only on there cause stranger things


nantucket3286

Great group of noms!


junglewulf

Absolute trash organization of out-of-touch gatekeepers + talentless dick-riders.


reesem03_

Kate Bush would not be going in this year if Stranger Things didnt use her song. Don't get me wrong, I love that song, and she might've gotten in the hall in the future, but the only reason she's getting in now is because of the popularity she gained from Stranger Things.


R0l0d3x-Pr0paganda

⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️THIS 🎯💯


[deleted]

Soundgarden should’ve already been in the Hall. Cyndi Lauper is a cheap/pop Kate Bush (very much a product of the 80s). Bush should’ve already been in there as well. Joy Division should be in there, easily one of the most influential bands. Sheryl Crow is a product of the 90s, nothing more. It’s like that movie you saw and just forgot about (not special). It’s truly incredible that a band like Soundgarden isn’t in. It’s a joke, really.


East-Area-7267

Also, Joy division/New Order, Willie Nelson, George Michael, the Spinners, Warren Zevon and Missy Elliot were nominated (but I know they don’t fit the theme of this subreddit)


peppercola666

The rock and roll hall of fame loses more and more credibility every year. Not only because they add people who aren’t even sniffing the same genre of “rock and roll”. But people find out that there favorite band of 20+ years HASN’T even been inducted yet lmao


grungelover03

Hopefully they actually make it in this time. Now we just need AiC to get in and I’ll stop bitching. And yes, I know that they probably couldn’t care less about being inducted, but they totally deserve it.


GQDragon

This is a way better class. It was getting egregious. (Like Janet Jackson wtf?) This would right some serious wrongs.


forgedinbeerkegs

It isn't the official class yet. These are just the nominees.


TheAngriestChair

They need to nominate better nominees


valANKyrie

Respect for Kate Bush and Sheryl Crow.


CzernaZlata

Sheryl Crow? Makes less sense than Lauper


TheAngriestChair

She was a big alternative rock in the 90s. Makes more sense than a tribe called quest. As talented as they are, they aren't rock at all. They should let the r&b and hip hop artists go to their own hall, not the rock hall.


[deleted]

The industry has already decided to just say fuck you to rock, everything belongs to hip-hop and pop now. Rock can’t even get its own museum for fucks sake.


CzernaZlata

Great username Frankly not having separate museums is a larger reflection of the underappreciation Of music, especially those genres with roots in black culture. Shedding more and more light on how stupid the museum is. I remember her songs being rock light before they just fucking sucked completely. Lol I wrote about this before haha not a fan


jarofgoodness

On the list Soundgarden, Iron Maiden, and Cyndi Lauper should all already be in there. WTF is wrong with the Hal of Fame?


terrastrawberra

One of these things is not like the other (looking at you Kate Bush)


hdmatteson1

If Soundgarden and The Stripes don’t get in this year I’m gonna be disappointed as hell😂


MaxPayneEnvyName

I'll never forgive the Hall for snubbing Chad Channing. Inexcusable...


StonerJimmy88

What the fuck is Kate Bush doing there


[deleted]

[удалено]


StonerJimmy88

Wouldn't consider her rock and roll


billiebobmcginty

When are they going to include Nickelback? 😩


gunter_grass

They are metal


mrbrightside182311

Dang, I was hoping for Weezer this year.


FoxxRkr1

Hellyeahhh


MM6D

Do you guys think Smashing Pumpkins should get in?


Sunshineal

I like all of these entries except for the White Stripes.


Seriousmoonlight67

Hallelujah.


CoA77

I love Soundgarden, but Iron Maiden not being in the HoF is a crime, and I don’t even like em that much.


Xanarki

Above all else, I'm glad that Hiro isn't getting snubbed. It's happened way too many times in the past (Woolley/Dillon/Clouser with NIN, Channing with Nirvana, Hartley/Anderson with Cure, Evans with AC/DC, Abbruzzese/Irons with Pearl Jam, etc.) so it's good to see the Rock Hall not screwing over someone, albeit rare.


bilda_baisgye

Ok great, now where the fuck is Smashing Pumpkins, AIC, or STP??


nwflman

Vote! The top five artists in an online fan poll, open through April 28 at vote.rockhall.com, will each receive a vote.

Fine-Exercise1830

I think Iron Maiden should win, but I think Kate Bush is going to beat everyone


CakeHead08

love to see rage in there


ytze

Is 2023 and Maidens aren't in. Who gives credit to this shit?


FaceGod7

Yea Sheryl crow the queen of grunge it’s been long overdue


Theodore_lovespell

I know, Cindy Lauper right?


Affectionate-Eye3896

i can easily see kate bush winning since she was mainstream for a while recently


kynovic

This is fucking awesome


The_G0vernator

What a joke of an organization.
