More than half of the 2025 nominated artists are on the ballot for the first time, including British rockers Bad Company, whose members included Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke, Mick Ralphs and the late Raymond “Boz” Burrell, British punk musician Billy Idol, US singer Chubby Checker, and hip hop duo OutKast.
John Sykes, chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said: “These remarkable nominees have each created their own musical style and attitude, impacting generations of music lovers and contributing to the ever-evolving sounds and continued growth of rock and roll.”.
Britpop band Oasis and US singer Mariah Carey are among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees for 2025.
Oasis, known for hits including Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Stop Crying Your Heart Out, were previously nominated in 2024, but did not become inductees.
The Manchester rockers, made up of brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, are returning for a UK tour later this year after splitting in 2009.
