, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and the Spinners will join the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year at its 38th annual induction ceremony, organizers announced Wednesday.
In an interview, the Rock Hall’s chairman, John Sykes, said that “rock ’n’ roll has never been one definitive sound but rather an attitude or a spirit” and that this year’s honorees show “how diverse the definition of rock ’n’ roll has become.”He added that in 2018, women accounted for 15% of the hall’s inductees to that point. Since 2019, according to Sykes, a quarter of those inducted have been women.
Several of the new members — voted in by a group of about 1,200 musicians, executives, historians and journalists — are joining the hall after being nominated for the first time. First-time balloters include Crow, the hitmaker who has moved easily between rock, pop and country; Michael, the superstar singer and queer icon who died in 2016; and Nelson, the American legend who just celebrated his 90th birthday with an all-star, two-night blowout at the Hollywood Bowl.
Nominated acts that didn’t make the cut for the 2023 class include Iron Maiden, the combination of Joy Division and New Order, Cyndi Lauper, Soundgarden, A Tribe Called Quest, the White Stripes and the late; the latter’s cause was publicly rallied by high-profile fans including Billy Joel and David Letterman.
