They are Depeche Mode, The Doobie Brothers, Whitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, The Notorious B.I.G. and T-Rex.Jon Landau and Irving Azoff are the recipients of the Ahmet Ertegun Award.To be eligible for the Hall of Fame an individual artist or band must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.

The RRHOF is seemingly trying to be a joke. They must want to be a joke. What other explanation can there be ?
That isn’t Rock and Roll
The definition of 'Rock & Roll' is suspect. It should change its name to the Music hall of fame with categories for genres.
Congratulations to the Doobie Brothers.
where is pat benatar.
Pat Benetar snubbed
Why wasn't Joe Cocker included. Again? Depeche mode, nine inch nails. Really?
SuitRous 🤘🏻🎶 👏🏻👏🏻
NIN ? No. Pat benatar should get in.
Depeche Mode 🥰🥰
R&RHOF is a complete joke
Randy Rhoads isn’t in the R&R HOF so go figure that one. Gary Stewart isn’t in the County Music HOF and he was the King of Honky Tonks. Can’t figure that one out either.
Fake News reporting on Fake Rock
CNNisTrash
T. rex is in and not benatargiraldo? What a joke the HOF is!
Love them all
Rock an roll HOF has become a joke
while we are getting the news,,nice to see a pretty girl,,talking to the news desk,,,d,,
That last one though lol
Another year of crap entering the hall
Are you as excited as I am?!!!
The rock n roll hall of fame is against everything that real “rock n roll” is about. Ive never bothered to look, but I doubt a single artist I admire has met the sad fate of being inducted. The kiss of death. Worse than the grammies
anyways, stan weird al
She is worthy. She put in the work and left this planet on the biggest night for any singer or musician. Talk about someone dedicated to the business. Whitney Houston conquered.
Pat Benatar snubbed again 😏
Rock died in mid-late 80's after Rush, Van Halen, Aerosmith etc. split. They have been dredging ever since for whatever they can find. Lots of great bands out there, but they don't write original comps. like The Who did anymore-- that I have heard.
Speechless..I ain't voting, anymore. What is the fucking point
That’s like Neil Young winning best RAP album at the BET Awards.
Whitney Houston was a pop singer? Why is she being inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Oh well, none of my f&%$!?/ business....
Why don’t they just change it to the “Music Hall of Fame”? Because Whyte people think they invented Rock & Roll and they want that front and center. Whyte Supremacy is everywhere. Sometimes it’s subtle like in this instance.
Just found this video. The president of the Hall of Fame at work!
Thug rappers don’t belong in ANY musical hall of fame. The rest are deserving to get in though I get rock music fans having issues with Whitney and Depeche Mode (though iconic in their own right) getting nods but aren’t rock music.
Does anyone even care about this old crap anymore? Like award shows for the boomers. Boring, paid-for, rigged, meaningless. Who cares.
What crap picks
And of course, the very-deserving toddrundgren didn't make it because it's not a fair process.
notorious b.i.g. Is rock? Whitney Houston is rock? What happened to the ROCK N ROLL hall of fame being rockers?
It's clear the people that vote for this love all genres but rock and roll. They really love the 80's new wave acts, rap, hip hop and pop. Nothing wrong with that but quit calling it the rock and roll hall. And just call it music.
I spent the night last night at the hotel where Whitney Houston died. Weird.
DMB don’t sweat it-your fans love you!!
Supertramp were the sound of a era and are still not in the Hall of game!
Cue white boomers: such and such black artist 'isnt rock and roll!'
You can’t induct none rock n roll people what about black flag or misfits or GG allin
I’m pleased to see WhitneyHouston and notoriousbig on the list — I actually didn’t realize biggiesmalls had been in the biz that long!!!!! BigPapa rockhall rocknroll Congratulations 🎊💖🤩🎈🎉🥳
Many of the young ppl don't kno the history of Rock n' Roll. It was once called 'race-music.' Way before the Beatles and Aerosmith, there was Little Richard!
Some of y’all are being hella racist in these replies. Stay pressed💀
I wish I can fly from Lebanon to watch her
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a sham! They’re 🤡’s. Why have a fan vote? No davematthewsbnd (voted 1). No Todd Rundgren from 2019 (voted 4 in 2019) No Soundgarden (voted 4th). travesty joke I’m boycotting any rockhall visits.
This isn’t the rock Whitney was into.
And somehow The Scorpions still haven’t made it
Whitney was great, but her music genre was never even remotely Rock and Roll. Need to rename the museum, definitely. Rock is not gospel, rap or pop. Who are the voters? No rock artist would see Whitney as a rocker.
judaspriest is the most influential metal band of all time.. whitney houston? Cmon now
Th masses r asses when it comes to music
That's dumb CNN leave news that matter..they aren't even part of this genre lol
Let me save you a link click, too. Pat Benetar isn’t on the list. boohiss
Hey CNN, yesterday on 14 january the islamic republic basij force with IRGC guard arrested and Suppression students at the amirkabir university! We have no information about their situation. be our voice IranProtests2020
At this point, they need to rename it the Music Hall of Fame. Rock and roll is no longer the focus.
While both are talented artist's in their own right, neither Whitney Houston or Notorious B.I.G. are considered rock and roll artist's in a serious discussion of musical genres.
The annual reminder that the rock and roll hall of fame is an absolute joke.
Top vote getter didnt get in lol
What a complete shit show.
Feels like a yawn is upcoming!!! 🥱
How’re they gonna do Chris Cornell like that. Soundgarden should’ve nabbed a spot easily
Unbelievable EddieTrunk What a joke. Guess we shouldn’t be surprised. A Rock n Roll HOF without Judas Priest, Motörhead, Thin Lizzy, Soundgarden, etc...is embarrassing. I never knew Whitney Houston or Notorious BIG were Rock n Roll singers... 🤷♂️🤦♂️
What the hell are Whitney and Notorious doing on the ballot? Not denying either's talent in any way, but it's the ROCK Hall of Fame.
All anyone needs to know abt the RRHOF is they removed a display of Allan Freed to make room for Beyonce's concert outfits
