“Each diverse group of recruits has had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture and helped change the course of rock ‘n’ roll,” John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, said in a statement. “Their music has moved generations and influenced many of the artists who followed it.”
Parton brought more attention to this year’s operation in March after she released a statement on social media saying “I really don’t want votes to be split because of me, so I must bow respectfully.”
To be eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame as a performer, an artist or individual band must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of the nomination.
The induction ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on November 5 and will later air on HBO and HBO Max owned by CNN’s parent company.
