The inductees for the 38th annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony have been announced.
The mighty Rage Against The Machine have been included in the performers category in the class of 2023, alongside Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson and The Spinners.
“This year’s incredible group of Inductees reflects the diverse artists and sounds that define rock’n’roll,” announces John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. “We are honoured that this November’s Induction Ceremony in New York will coincide with two milestones in music culture: the 90th birthday of Willie Nelson and the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop.”
But while Rage deservedly join unfortunately Iron Maiden and Soundgarden have both missed out this year, as well as A Tribe Called Quest, Joy Division/New Order, Cyndi Lauper, The White Stripes and Warren Zevon – who were all in the general ballot but ultimately didn’t make the final cut.
