Harry Styles, Trent Reznor to welcome Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees
This year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees will be welcomed by today’s biggest names in music, such as Harry Styles and Janelle Monáe. While many of those speaking are not yet eligible to be inducted into the Rock Hall themselves, they certainly have already left a legacy on the music industry.
That said, to be eligible for nomination, each band or artist’s first single or album must be at least 25 years old, released in 1993 or earlier.
