Monday morning, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced its inductees for 2024. The 16 honorees comprise rock, hip-hop, blues and R&B artists, reflecting the broader sweep of musical categories the Rock Hall has been embracing in recent years.

"Rock & Roll is an ever-evolving amalgam of sounds that impacts culture and moves generations," said John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. "This diverse group of inductees each broke down musical barriers and influenced countless artists that followed in their footsteps."

Let’s celebrate the soon-to-be-inducted artists and influencers with music!
