On Sunday, April 28, during a live broadcast of American Idol, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will announce its inductees for the Class of 2025. The nominees were announced back in February.

At that time, I spoke with John Goehrke, Director of Fan Engagement with the Rock Hall, about all 14 nominees in the Performer’s Category. I will speak with him again once the Class of 2025 is announced.

All of the 14 are worthy of induction for their contributions to music, but these are the 8 acts I voted for most often at the Fan Vote:

• Bad Company
• Mariah Carey
• Chubby Checker
• Joe Cocker
• Billy Idol
• Cyndi Lauper
• Outkast
• Soundgarden

In addition to the Performer’s Category, the Rock Hall’s Class of 2025 also includes inductees in the categories of Early Influence, Musical Excellence, and the Ahmet Ertegun Award for Lifetime Achievement.

The induction ceremony takes place in Los Angeles this Fall. Date to be announced.
