]]>The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honors “artists who have created music whose originality, impact, and influence has changed the course of rock and roll”, and their performer category includes eight honorees this time around.
Cher was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time this year, after publicly calling out the organization for never taking her into consideration. Just a few months ago, she told Kelly Clarkson, “I wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars.”
Cher is yet to publicly address her induction, but Mary J. Blige and Ozzy Osbourne are among the honorees who expressed gratitude to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They’ll be inducted alongside Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang, and A Tribe Called Quest.
The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on October 19, and it will air live on Disney+.

]]>John Sykes, chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, announced this year’s nominees in a press release and praised them for creating “their own sounds that have impacted generations and influenced countless others that have followed in their footsteps.”
Pop goddess Cher, the R&B superstar Mariah Carey, and the British band Oasis made the cut this year, along with the late Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor, nine-time Grammy winner Mary J. Blige, and the rock sensation Lenny Kravitz.
Ten of 15 nominees this year are in the running for the first time, but some of them are no strangers to being nominated, including A Tribe Called Quest and Dave Matthews Band. Ozzy Osbourne had even been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 with his band Black Sabbath, but he’s in the running again as an individual artist.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will announce the list of inductees in April, while the induction ceremony will take place in Cleveland this fall.

]]>The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony returned to LA’s Microsoft Theater on November 5 and it was a night to remember! In addition to Parton and Eminem, the list of this year’s inductees also included the soul singer Lionel Richie, band Duran Duran, new wave duo Eurythmics, rock star Pat Benatar, and singer-songwriter Carly Simon.
This year’s ceremony was one for the books because it covered a diverse range of genres, ranging from hip-hop and soul to country. Parton famously tried to bow out of consideration because she didn’t feel deserving of the honor as a country artist, but the ballots were already sent out to the voters so she agreed to gracefully accept this honor.
“I’m a rock star now! This is a very special night for me. When they said they were gonna put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I didn’t really feel like I had done enough to deserve that… But I’m just honored and so proud to be here tonight,” said Parton in her acceptance speech.

]]>The post Judas Priest “Deserves to Be in Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame,” says Frontman appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>In a recent interview with NME, Judas Priest’s frontman Rob Halford was asked about the band’s omission from the Rock and Roll HOF and decided to give a rather diplomatic answer.
“I’ve always admired it,” said Halford. “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn’t any different from those other institutions they have in America, like the one for football, where you’ll always get some people complaining one player deserves to be there over another. Emotions always run high whenever these awards take place.”
Judas Priest were in consideration for induction several times so far, and even finished fifth in the fan vote in 2019. Despite this, however, the group didn’t make the final cut that included Doobie Brothers, Nine Inch Nails, T-Rex, Depeche Mode, Notorious B.I.G., and Whitney Houston.
While taking a moderate approach when discussing the issue, Halford said that he believes there should be more metal bands in the Hall Of Fame and that Judas Priest deserves to be one of them.
“I think if any metal band deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it’s Priest and beyond that, there needs to be more metal there because there’s not enough,” he added.
While the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame remains open to a lot of different genres, the metal bands have had a hard time getting in. This led to a number of widely popular and influential bands being routinely left out despite having years of eligibility. Besides Judas Priest, the list includes Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Bad Company, Slayer, and Megadeth.

]]>Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Michael McDonald of The Doobie Brothers released statements celebrating their induction, and so did the members of Depeche Mode, who also thanked everyone who supported their music over the years and made this possible.
“We’re incredibly honored to be included as one of this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and to stand alongside the other incredible acts in the Rock Hall and those joining this year,” reads the band’s official statement.
Dave Matthews Band, Judas Priest, and Motörhead were among the artists who were in the running to make it to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year but eventually failed to make the cut.
The induction ceremony will take place on May 2nd at Cleveland’s Public Hall, and it will get its first live broadcast on HBO.

They will also be joined by American pop icon Janet Jackson, singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks and two English rock bands, Roxy Music and the Zombies.
“Thank you Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” – said Jackson when she heard the news. “I am truly honored and I am happy to be in there with my brothers.”
“I have a lot to say about this, but I will save those words for later.” – said Nicks, who was previously inducted as a member of Fleetwood Mac in 1998. “For now I will just say, I have been in a band since 1968. To be recognized for my solo work makes me take a deep breath and smile. It’s a glorious feeling.”
The ceremony of induction of 2019 class into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on March 29th, 2019.
Nominated acts that didn’t make the cut for 2019 include Todd Rundgren, Rage Against the Machine, Rufus & Chaka Khan, MC5, LL Cool J, John Prine, Kraftwerk, and Devo.

“I had hoped this day was going to come and it does come and I had given it a lot of thought to who I wanted to induct us,” said Jon Bon Jovi. “I only had one choice and I told no one, not my wife, certainly not my band.”
Stern first tried to avoid the request and wasn’t happy about having to go to Cleveland for the ceremony, but ultimately accepted.
“I am so honored that you asked me,” Stern said to Bon Jovi. “I am thrilled to do it.”
Jon Bon Jovi also explained why Stern was the perfect person to induct his band into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“You’ve only ever been my first choice,” – said the singer. “Our careers have paralleled in a lot of ways. Whether ups or downs we’ve come through everything together and we do this at this point because we love the people we work with… nobody knows not only me but the members of the band as well as Howard.”
The induction ceremony will take place on April 14 with Dire Straits, The Moody Blues, The Cars, Nina Simone and Sister Rosetta Tharpe being among the inductees besides Bon Jovi as well.
