The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced & revealed their list of nominees for their 2022 class. Fans are able to vote for which artist they’d like to see inducted into the Rock Hall this year. A Tribe Called Quest, Eminem, & Lionel Richie are new to this year’s ballot among the other talented names. Additionally, this is Eminem’s first year of being eligible for the accolade.

Criteria For The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction
Several different pieces of criteria need to be met for an artist to be selected for a nomination. First, their first release (album, single, EP, etc.) must’ve been at least 25 years from the current year to even receive a nomination. Fans can then vote for which artist they’d like to see inducted until April 29th. However, there’s also their international voting ballot filled with tons of established music professionals. They make selections based on things like influence, ability, quality of discography, etc.
