Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Welcomes Class Of 2025
KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation has unveiled its 2025 inductees, celebrating a vibrant and eclectic mix of artists and contributors who have helped shape the sound and spirit of rock & roll. The announcement was made live by Ryan Seacrest during the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame episode of 'American Idol', where the Top 14 finalists performed songs by past inductees as America voted for the Top 12. 'Each of these inductees created their own sound and attitude that had a profound impact on culture and helped to change the course of Rock & Roll forever. Their music gave a voice to generations and influenced countless artists that followed in their footsteps,' said Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Chairman, John Sykes in a statement. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame recognises artists and contributors across several distinct categories. The Performer category honours those whose original music and cultural influence have played a defining role in shaping the direction of rock & roll. The Musical Influence Award is given to artists whose style and innovation have deeply inspired the genre and its evolution, while the Musical Excellence Award celebrates individuals—whether artists, musicians, songwriters, or producers—whose creativity and legacy have significantly impacted the music industry. Lastly, the Ahmet Ertegun Award acknowledges non-performing professionals whose work behind the scenes has been instrumental in the growth and artistic development of rock & roll and its wider cultural resonance. This year's Performer Category features a wide-ranging lineup, including Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes. These artists represent a blend of genres and eras, many of whom are first-time nominees. In other categories, Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon will receive the Musical Influence Award, while Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, and Carol Kaye will be honoured with the Musical Excellence Award. The Ahmet Ertegun Award will be presented to Lenny Waronker for his role in shaping the creative direction of popular music. To be eligible for induction, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.
