Phish, The Black Crowes, Outkast & Joe Cocker Among 2025 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees

Phish, The Black Crowes, Outkast and Joe Cocker are part of the 2025 class of Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees. Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Billy Idol and Maná are also among the first-time nominees.

Rounding out the 14 nominees for induction this year include previous nominees The White Stripes, Soundgarden, Oasis, Joy Division/New-Order, Cyndi Lauper and Mariah Carey. Eligibility requirements allow for nominations 25 years after an artist or band released their first commercial recording.

“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 ‘n’ roll,” said John Sykes, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation chairman.

In addition to ballots sent to over 1,200 international voting panel members, a fan vote is currently underway.

The class of 2025 Rock & Roll Hall Of Inductees will be revealed in April, along with inductees for Musical Influence, Musical Excellence and the Ahmet Ertegun Non-Performer Award recipient. The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony will be held in the fall in Los Angeles.

Phish’s first nomination follows their performance at the 2010 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio gave the speech inducting Genesis into the Rock Hall and the band honored Genesis with performances of “Watcher Of The Skies” and “No Reply At All.”
