List of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees - wikipedia List of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, established in 1983 and located in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, is dedicated to recording the history of some of the best - known and most influential musicians, bands, producers, and others that have in some major way influenced the music industry, particularly in the area of rock and roll. Originally, there were four categories of induction : performers, non-performers, early influences, and lifetime achievement. In 2000, `` sidemen '' was introduced as a category. The only category that has seen new inductees every single year is the performers category. Artists become eligible for induction in that category 25 years after the release of their first record. In order to be inducted, an artist must be nominated by a committee that selects anywhere from nine to a dozen candidates. Ballots are then sent to 600 `` rock experts '' who evaluate the candidates and vote on who should be inducted. The performers that receive the highest number of votes and more than 50 percent of the vote are inducted. In 2010, the number inducted was five. The rest of the categories are voted on by special committees. As of 2017, new inductees will be honored at an annual ceremony held alternately in New York and at the Hall of Fame in Cleveland ; prior to that, the ceremonies rotated between Cleveland, New York, and Los Angeles. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has garnered criticism for allegedly allowing the nomination process to be controlled by a few individuals, nominating too many artists in too many genres that are not entirely rock, ignoring entire rock genres, and using technicalities to induct groups who may not have been among the top vote getters. The Sex Pistols, who were inducted in 2006, refused to attend the ceremony ; John Lydon writing a note, read out by Jann Wenner, calling the museum a `` piss stain.

'' Artists become eligible for induction in that category 25 years after the release of their first record. In order to be inducted, an artist must be nominated by a committee that selects anywhere from nine to a dozen candidates. Ballots are sent to 600 `` rock experts '' who then evaluate the candidates and vote on who should be inducted. The performers who receive the highest number of votes and more than 50 percent of the vote are inducted. In 2011, the number inducted was five. The rest of the categories are voted on by special committees. In 2012, six additional bands and groups were inducted as performers by a special committee, due to the controversial nature of their band being excluded when their lead singer was inducted. `` There was a lot of discussion about this, '' said Terry Stewart, a member of the nominating committee. `` There had always been conversations about why the groups were n't included when the lead singers were inducted. Very honestly, nobody could really answer that question -- it was so long ago... We decided we 'd sit down as an organization and look at that. This is the result. '' The vast majority of the inducted bands and vocal groups have experienced personnel changes during their careers ( although there are a very few exceptions, such as The Beastie Boys and U2, who never changed their lineups. ) The Hall of Fame only inducts the most significant members of the group, although it is unclear what the criteria are for excluding or including members. This has led to many anamolies. For example, the Red Hot Chili Peppers excluded longtime guitarists Jack Sherman and Dave Navarro while including new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer who had only been a full member of the band for a year or two at the time of induction. For another example, Guns N ' Roses lead singer Axl Rose outlasted every other member of the `` classic '' quintet which performed on the first two albums, eventually putting together an entirely new lineup which stayed together for twenty years or so beginning in the mid-1990s ( but only released one album. ) All the newer members were excluded from the Hall of Fame induction save drummer Matt Sorum and keyboardist Dizzy Reed ( both of whom joined in 1990. ) A few of the conspicuously absent members of other inducted groups include Cindy Birdsong of the Supremes ; Eric Carr, Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick of KISS ; Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys ; Richie Ramone and C.J. Ramone of the Ramones ; Randy Jackson of the Jacksons and Pete Best of the Beatles. On the other hand, two bands included inducted members who were primarily non-performers : road manager ( and very occasional keyboardist ) Ian Stewart was inducted with the Rolling Stones and lyricist Robert Hunter was inducted with the Grateful Dead.

According to Van Zandt, the category is `` a recognition of the excellence of the singles that shaped rock ' n ' roll, kind of a rock ' n ' roll jukebox, records by artists not in the Rock Hall -- which is not to say these artists will never be in the Rock Hall. They just are not in the Rock Hall at the moment.

Eric Clapton is the only one to be inducted three times : as a solo artist, with Cream and with The Yardbirds. Clyde McPhatter was the first to ever be inducted twice and is one of three artists to be inducted first as a solo artist and then as a member of a band, the other artists being Neil Young and Rod Stewart. Stephen Stills is the only artist to be inducted twice in the same year. Crosby, Stills & Nash, inducted in 1997, is the only band to see all of its inducted members be inducted with other acts : David Crosby with The Byrds in 1991, Stephen Stills with Buffalo Springfield in 1997, and Graham Nash with The Hollies in 2010. Two inducted bands were spinoffs of other inducted bands. Journey was founded by two former members of Santana. Led Zeppelin was founded by lead guitarist Jimmy Page after The Yardbirds broke up, with the encouragement of the band 's management. They were originally billed as `` The New Yardbirds. '' The Beatles, inducted in 1988, is the second band to have all of its members be inducted, as well as the only band to have each of its members be inducted for their solo careers as their second induction. Ringo Starr is the first inductee to be inducted twice in different categories ( The Beatles were inducted in the performers category in 1988 and Starr was inducted as a solo artist in the Award for Musical Excellence category in 2015 ). He also holds the record for the longest time between first and second inductions, at 27 years. Both of Stills ' inductions happened during the 1997 ceremony and Clapton and McPhatter were inducted in back - to - back years ( 1987 / 88 for McPhatter, 1992 / 93 for Clapton, as well as his solo induction in 2000 ). The Traveling Wilburys are the only band to have all of its members be inducted without the band itself having been inducted : Roy Orbison as a solo artist in 1987, Bob Dylan as a solo artist in 1988, George Harrison with the Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 2004, Tom Petty with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in 2002, and Jeff Lynne with the Electric Light Orchestra in 2017. There are several performers who were inducted with one ( or more ) of the bands they played for, but were not inducted as members of one ( or more ) other bands. For example, Neil Young was inducted with Buffalo Springfield and as a solo artist, but was left out when Crosby, Stills & Nash were inducted. Other examples include Terry Chimes ( inducted with The Clash but not with Black Sabbath ), Kenney Jones ( inducted with The Faces but not with The Who ), and Sly Stone ( inducted with Sly & the Family Stone but not with Parliament - Funkadelic. ) Singer Axl Rose of Guns N ' Roses fame joined AC / DC after both bands were inducted.
