Eminem Nominated for Rock Hall of Fame 2022

Dolly Parton, Eminem, A Tribe Called Quest, and Beck were among the first to be nominated in the voting for this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This is important for us. Because there is Eminem too.

The list of 17 potential members spanning rap, country, folk, pop, and more, includes seven previously unseen artists.

Among them are Duran Duran, Lionel Richie and Carly Simon – plus 10 recurring nominations yet to be rated: Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, Devo, Eurythmics, Judas Priest, Fela Kuti, MC5, New York Dolls, Rage Against the Machine and Dionne Warwick.

More than 1,000 singers, historians, and music industry professionals will vote to narrow this huge list. The results of the votes will be announced in May. But,  five or seven of the artists who qualify for this list will be selected 25 years after the release of their first commercial record.

On the other hand Jay-Z, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Notorious B.I.G. and Janet Jackson were recently chosen. John Sykes, the chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, called the latest nominees “a diverse group of incredible artists, each who has had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture.”
