Missy, Willie and George Michael among Rock Hall nominees FEBRUARY 1, 2023 / 10:56 AM / NEW YORK (AP) — Missy Elliott, Willie Nelson, Kate Bush, Iron Maiden, Cyndi Lauper, Soundgarden, Sheryl Crow, and the late George Michael are the 2023 nominees for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, reflecting a mix of country, soul, hip-hop, metal, pop, rap-rock and grunge. The Cleveland-based institution announced Wednesday the 14 artists and groups being considered for Rock Hall induction, also including Rage Against the Machine, The Spinners, A Tribe Called Quest, The White Stripes, Warren Zevon, and Joy Division/New Order. Artists must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years before they're eligible for induction. "This remarkable list of nominees reflects the diverse artists and music that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors and celebrates," said John Sykes, chair of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation in a statement. "These artists have created their own sounds that have impacted generations and influenced countless others that have followed in their footsteps." Eight out of 14 nominees are on the ballot for the first time, including Crow, Elliott, Joy Division/New Order, Lauper, Michael, Nelson, The White Stripes, and Zevon. This is the first year of eligibility for Elliott and The White Stripes. A Tribe Called Quest and Bush were nominees last year and didn't make the cut but now find themselves back in the running this year. Bush's latest nod may be due to a new wave in popularity after the show "Stranger Things" featured her song "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)." Inductees will be announced in May and the ceremony will take place this fall. Nominees will be voted on by more than 1,000 artists, historians, and music industry professionals. Fans can vote online or in person at the museum, with the top five artists picked by the public making up a "fans' ballot" that will be tallied with the other professional ballots. Last year, the nomination process was complicated by Dolly Parton, who gave the honor an enthusiastic embrace after temporarily turning it down. She initially said she did not want to take votes away from the remaining nominees and had not "earned that right." www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news/missy-willie-and-george-michael-among-rock-hall-nominees/

Soundgarden, Willie Nelson, and Sheryl Crow should all definitely get awarded in my book. They’re all great! Don’t really care all too much for any of the others, though.

Heath I love Willie Nelson! but a Rocker he ain't, he is all country just like Miss Dolly Parton. Yes they definitely should get awards but more for Country than rock n roll. Just an opinion from the fat cat from the shore

It was a former Skynyrd crew member who convinced Sheryl Crow to start her own solo music career. That is a pretty cool story on its own.

Hopefully, due to the fact that this is now an MC5-less cast of hopefuls for the museum, an 85-plus-car-train-load will find its way into an off-track pile-up in front of the museum’s Cleveland entryway on the day of induction for the (mostly shite) new enterers.

Just an opinion from the fat cat from the shore I 100% agree with you. However, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame being pretty much the Music Hall of Fame now (and should be renamed as such), and often voting in rappers and the like now (what a joke), Willie might as well be inducted at some point. I think the founding of a new hall of fame actually centered ONLY on rock & roll is in order. Just call it the Strictly Rock Hall of Fame or something like that.

Kevin Elson, Skynyrd’s soundman, met Sheryl Crow when she was a backup singer for Michael Jackson on his 1989 “Bad” world tour. She found out he had produced Journey and asked for his advice on what to do to start her own career. He liked her, so he helped her and gave her advice on what to do. And she went on to great success.
