The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has revealed the nominees for its class of 2019. They include Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine, Janet Jackson, Roxy Music, Stevie Nicks, The Cure, and Def Leppard.

Other finalists include Todd Rundgren, Rufus and Chaka Khan, LL Cool J, The Zombies, Devo, John Prine, MC5, and Kraftwerk.

The top five vote-getters, as determined by a group of artists, historians, and music industry members, as well as a fan vote, will be announced in December. They will then be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during a ceremony held in April 2019 at the Public Hall in Cleveland, Ohio. HBO will broadcast the ceremony later in the year.

In order for an artist to be eligible for the Hall of Fame, their first recording must have been released at least 25 years ago or earlier.

Last year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class included Nina Simone, Bon Jovi, The Cars, Dire Straits, and The Moody Blues.
