The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced its list of 2018 inductees.

Among this year's nominees not making the cut: Kate Bush, Eurythmics, and Radiohead. Jay Gabler says Radiohead, "among the most influential of their generation, felt so ambivalent about even being nominated that they booked a show on the night of the scheduled induction ceremony."
