2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees are here. See who made the cut

This year's crop of 17 hopeful inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame includes 10 newcomers. See who has been shortlisted.

www.usatoday.com

• The Black Crowes
• Jeff Buckley
• Mariah Carey
• Phil Collins
• Melissa Etheridge
• Lauryn Hill
• Billy Idol
• INXS
• Iron Maiden
• Joy Division/New Order
• New Edition
• Oasis
• Pink
• Sade
• Shakira
• Luther Vandross
• Wu-Tang Clan

The final choices (usually 5-6) will be announced in April

My choices: Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan (taking the Hall's recent movement of big hip hop artists)
After that for #5 - I dunno - Phil solo was big in the 80s...Black Crowes.?

I don't have issues with going in groundbreaking directions with say Hip Hop but I'm less a fan of going the pure pop route of say Mariah or Pink
