The diverse group of artists representing pop, rock, country, hip-hop, new wave, proto-punk, rap-rock, heavy metal, Afrobeat and R&B is in keeping with recent picks by the Rock Hall, which after years of criticism that it overvalued the work of older white men has broadened its selection process along gender, race and style lines.
In a statement announcing 2022’s nominees, the Rock Hall noted that “the last two years represent the top two nominee classes in terms of women representation in the last 30 years.” Women inducted in 2021 included Tina Turner, Carole King and the Go-Go’s; Warwick and Bush had been on the ballot but didn’t get voted in, along with Chaka Khan and Mary J. Blige.
In the statement, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation Chairman John Sykes said the ballot recognizes artists who’ve “had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture.” Nominations are voted on by more than 1,000 musicians, executives, historians and journalists. If Eminem and A Tribe Called Quest were to be inducted, they would follow a number of other hip-hop acts voted in over the last few years, including Jay-Z, N.W.A, Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. As a country singer and songwriter, Parton would join a Nashville contingent that includes Johnny Cash, Brenda Lee, Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers, among others.
