on why rap belongs in the
@rockhall
: "So when they say, ‘You guys are not rock,’ I say, ‘We’re the roll.’ It stops them dead in their tracks."

@troylsmith

Trent Reznor, in a quote the Rock Hall will surely embrace: “Rock doesn’t have to be guitar-bass/drums. It can be a turntable, a computer, a synthesizer, sequencer. They are all tools and a spirit of expression.”

@Cher
tells Entertainment Tonight that despite last year’s public proclamation to the contrary, she will accept her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and will attend the ceremony. She credits Rock Hall board members David Geffen and John Sykes for getting her in.
Eminem is the only 2022 nominee who has the chance to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. He would join this exclusive list of First Ballot Hall of Famers:
#RockHall2022
Duran Duran had been eligible for the Rock Hall since 2007. Here are the other artists that became eligible that year but haven't been inducted yet.
#RockHall2022
With the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Nominating Committee meeting later this month to create the
#RockHall2023
ballot, one thing that typically gets taken into (minor) consideration are the artists at the top of the museum's Voice Your Choice kiosk. Here were the leaders in November
Wow. Chrissie Hynde on the Rock Hall: "If anyone wants my position in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame they are welcome to it. I don’t even wanna be associated with it."

With Janet Jackson's induction, this will open the door for other pop / women performers. Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey (already eligible) could get some attention in the next few years, and will surely be controversial when they do.
The 2020 Rock Hall Fan Vote is over. Here's a look at the final poll standings and a graph showing the three month race. Congrats to Dave Matthews Band fans for a final week push that moved them past one million votes.
#RockHall2020
Janet Jackson is the first female inductee who was born in the 1960's or later. For comparison, there are 66 living male inductees born after 1960.
#RockHall2019
HBO has blocked out 3 1/2 hours in their schedule for the edited version of the Rock Hall induction ceremony (premieres 11/19 on HBO and HBO Max)
#RockHall2022
It’s truly extraordinary that the inductees include the top eight from the Rock Hall Fan Vote. It’s unprecedented and will likely never happen again.
#RockHall2022
According to
@1iota
, Carly Simon will not be performing at the
#RockHall2022
induction ceremony, but confirms all other Performer inductees (+Judas Priest) will be.

It’s difficult for international artists like Soda Stereo to get attention from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, so when a band like
@Coldplay
sings their praises, it definitely helps.
Happy Birthday to the
@RockHall
Museum on the 25th anniversary of the official ribbon cutting. Looking forward to seeing the museum grow and change over the next 25. Cheers!

Most Rock Hall watchers predict that Bon Jovi, Moody Blues, Nina Simone and Radiohead will get in. Dire Straits, Eurythmics, Judas Priest, The Cars and Link Wray are also named multiple times.

The Cure’s Robert Smith discusses the 2019 Rock Hall induction and how the HoF was restricting the number of band members included in the honor without much explanation.

Tom Morello didn't disappoint with a characteristic fiery speech (he's given some of the most legendary ceremony speeches). Still unfortunate it couldn't be paired with a live performance for posterity.
#RockHall2023
Here is the full list of members of the Rock Hall Foundation’s board who all voted to expel Jann Wenner from their ranks. The vote was reportedly unanimous with the exception of Jon Landau.
Judas Priest's Rob Halford on receiving the Rock Hall's Musical Excellence award: "That’s totally unexpected. That’s just a very extra thrill to have that."
#RockHall2022
No disrespect to the deserving careers of Irving Azoff and Jon Landau, but it's an awful look for the Hall of Fame when the only two managers inducted in the last six years happen to be on the Rock Hall Foundation's Board of Directors.

For those watching

, HBO shuffled the order of the inductions and even the song order of the performances. Here's how it went down live on April 14th:

on their Rock Hall nomination: "Ultimately everybody's like this is really cool. We're not going to complain about this anymore."

"has always belonged in the Rock Hall, and her induction rectifies one of the most embarrassing snubs in an institution full of them."
