This article originally ran in 2013 and is frequently updated. Today, we’ve updated it in light of the recent 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee class.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has finally announced who made it in the class of 2024: Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Cher, A Tribe Called Quest, Mary J. Blige, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, and Kool & The Gang have all been selected for the ceremony October 19th in Cleveland.
Sadly, artists like Daft Punk, Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Chaka Khan, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, The Smiths, Joy Division, and Iron Maiden will have to wait another year for possible induction.Those left out, however, aren’t exactly in poor company. Many great artists have been shut out from the warm confines of the Cleveland institution.
Here’s a list of 24 artists who have yet to be enshrined, ranked in order of how long they’ve been waiting at the Rock Hall’s gates.
