The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted seven new artists for the 2025 ceremony, including ’80s diva Cyndi Lauper, ’90s hip-hop duo OutKast, ’70s rock legends Bad Company, ’50s pioneer Chubby Checker, the late Joe Cocker, Seattle grunge gods Soundgarden, and ’00s alt-rockers the White Stripes.

“Each of these inductees created their own sound and attitude that had a profound impact on culture and helped to change the course of Rock & Roll forever,” said John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in a statement. “Their music gave a voice to generations and influenced countless artists that followed in their footsteps.”
