It’s that time of year again. A group of talented artists has been nominated for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

To qualify for induction, the artist must have created their first commercial record 25 years ago. This means that the list of artists nominated introduced their debut back in 1994. The list includes the likes of Whitney Houston, Judas Priest, and Depeche Mode.

Last year, Radiohead, Janet Jackson, and Stevie Nicks were among the artists who made it onto the final list and received the honor of induction. This year, Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode have been favorited to make the final list.

The longlist of nominees for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 2020 is as follows:

Pat Benatar
Dave Matthews Band
Depeche Mode
The Doobie Brothers
Whitney Houston
Judas Priest
Kraftwerk
MC5
Motörhead
