The wonderwall of secrecy has come down and the voters’ wishes for who will make it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year have become known. The eight performers voted into the class of 2026 are:

● Phil Collins ● Billy Idol ● Iron Maiden ● Joy Division/New Order ● Oasis ● Sade ● Luther Vandross ● Wu-Tang Clan

There were 17 nominees put up for selection this year, more than ever. The results of the balloting mean that nine contenders did not make it in for 2026 (the Hall would surely prefer that you not call them snubs). These are: the Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey, Melissa Etheridge, Lauryn Hill, INXS, New Edition, Pink and Shakira.
