.rockhall Class of 2022: Women and ‘80s pop win big
announced the seven artists who will be inducted this November in Los Angeles: Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Carly Simon. Eminem is the only artist who just became eligible this year, although Duran Duran, Parton, Richie and Simon were also first-year ballot Hall of Famers. After a few years that saw many guitar-driven arena rock bands join the Hall, the 2022 class includes lots of synthesizers, pop balladeers, and a little country and hip-hop.
The year’s field prompted even more debate than usual about what the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame represents, including Dolly Partonwhether she belongs.
Dolly Parton, a Country Hall of Famer since 1999, released a statement in March that she’d prefer not to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: “I don’t feel that I have earned the right. I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out.” But the Rock Hall kept her on the ballot, and Parton had second thoughts, telling NPR in April that she’d “accept gratefully” if inducted.
