Full List of 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees

This year’s class of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees includes several pop and hip-hop icons, including Kate Bush, George Michael and Missy Elliott.

Artists are eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when their first record was released at least 25 years prior to their nomination.

Most notably, Missy Elliott will be inducted in her first year of eligibility and is the first female rapper to receive the honor. Ten male rappers have preceded her, including Eminem and Jay-Z.

As for the late pop icon George Michael, who died in 2016, the star was chosen for induction into the prestigious music organization after being nominated for the very first time.

Plus, Kate Bush, the English singer-songwriter who experienced a whirlwind revival of her hit song “Running Up That Hill” in 2022 thanks to Stranger Things, will be honored as well.
