Those who missed the cut included A Tribe Called Quest, The White Stripes, Joy Division/New Order and Warren Zevon.
NEW YORK — Missy Elliott, Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Kate Bush, Rage Against the Machine, the Spinners and the late George Michael have all been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
DJ Kool Herc and Link Wray will be the recipients of the Musical Influence Award, while Chaka Khan, Al Kooper and Bernie Taupin have been selected to receive the Musical Excellence Award.“When you can go from Link Wray, who was one of the early influencers, to Missy Elliott and Kate Bush and The Spinners and Rage Against the Machine and Willie Nelson, you have a very diverse body of work.
Artists must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years before they’re eligible for induction. Eight out of the nominees were on the ballot for the first time, including Crow, Michael and Nelson. Michael, first as a member of Wham! and then as a solo artist, was cited for “paving the way for a generation of proud LGBTQIA+ artists, from Sam Smith to Lil Nas X to Troye Sivan” and the 90-year-old Nelson was simply described as “an American institution.”
