Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 shortlist includes OutKast, Maná, Phish and Billy Idol

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced the shortlist for its 2025 class of inductees on Wednesday. The shortlist includes a hitmaker from the early rock era who has lobbied for consideration, a groundbreaking Southern rap duo and a rock group who would be the first ever inductees to have performed primarily in Spanish. All three of those acts, along with more than half of the full list of 14 nominees, are being considered for the first time. To be eligible for nomination, artists have to be at least 25 years out from the release of their first commercial recording.
