The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation has announced the 2024 nominees for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Leading the pack of 2024 nominees are first-timer nominees Oasis, Sinéad O’Connor, Sade, Mariah Carey, and Ozzy Osbourne. Repeat nominees include A Tribe Called Quest, Eric B. & Rakim, and Mary J. Blige. Check out the full list of nominees below.
Musicians become eligible for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording. So, while there are technically 10 first-time nominees—Mariah Carey, Cher, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & the Gang, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sinéad O’Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, and Sade—each musician has already been eligible for induction in the past.
Only five acts have been nominated in the past: A Tribe Called Quest (2022, 2023), Mary J. Blige (2021), Dave Matthews Band (2020), Jane’s Addiction (2017), and Eric B. & Rakim (2012). Ozzy Osbourne is also included in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, not as a solo act but as a member of Black Sabbath.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation’s chairman John Sykes said in a press release, “This remarkable list of nominees reflects the diverse artists and music that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors and celebrates. Continuing in the true spirit of Rock & Roll, these artists have created their own sounds that have impacted generations and influenced countless others that have followed in their footsteps.”
