The boys club that comprises this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class also contains a female solo musician who has always been a striking presence: Cyndi Lauper.
She's among the seven new inductees, whittled from a list of 14 announced earlier this year, who spotlight a more conventional rock lineup – excepting Atlanta hip-hop innovators Outkast – than the genre diverse classes of recent years.
The newest entrants, announced during the live broadcast of the “Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night” episode of “American Idol" on April 27, are:
Those who didn’t make the cut this year include The Black Crowes, Billy Idol, Maná and Phish – all first-time nominees – along with Mariah Carey and Oasis (both nominated in 2024 for the first time) and Joy Division/New Order (nominated once before in 2023).
