All of these 16 artists first became eligible for the Rock Hall nomination 25 years after the release of their first official recording. 2021's nominations list is particularly historic as this is the first time ever seven of the 16 nominations are led by women.

“This remarkable ballot reflects the diversity and depth of the artists and music the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame celebrates,” John Sykes, Chairman of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation says. ​“These Nominees have left an indelible impact on the sonic landscape of the world and influenced countless artists that have followed them.”

For Dave Grohl, this is his second opportunity to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Back in 2014, Grohl, Krist Novoselic and the late Kurt Cobain were officially inducted as Nirvana.
