2025 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees Announced

Bad Company, Thom Bell, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Nicky Hopkins, Carol Kaye, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Salt-N-Pepa, Soundgarden, Lenny Waronker, The White Stripes, and Warren Zevon all made it in this year.

The fact that Billy Idol, Joy Division and Phish didn't make it is criminal, but we must have something to complain about, right? Phish is the most egregious since they won the fan vote, but whatever. At least Bad Company is finally in!

Soundgarden & The White Stripes making it in before Maiden & Mötley is top notch comedy.

Soundgarden making it in feels like a nod to Cornell. If he were still alive, I doubt they'd get in anytime soon, and I'm saying that as a fan of them. The White Stripes? Please....undeserving.

Bas Company is the headliner and should be treated a such

[Metalboy!]

TOTALLY AGREE, BK!

Pure COMEDY!

Look, I like The White Stripes.

And I saw Soundgarden 6th row twice, but NOT by choice … It was when they opened for all 3 nights of G’n’R’s 3-night stand at Madison Square Garden back in December of 1991 of which I saw ‘em, the first night and the last night.

I really did wanna like ‘em but, well, you know, they really should have called themselves “NOISEGARDEN”!
