Oasis, Ozzy Osbourne, Mariah Carey, Sinead O'Connor, Cher, Sade, Mary J. Blige, Jane's Addiction and A Tribe Called Quest are among the nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's Class of 2024.
Other finalists include Dave Matthews Band, Peter Frampton, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Kool & the Gang and Lenny Kravitz.
To be eligible for a nomination, an individual artist or band must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.
Of this year's nominees, Oasis, Osbourne, Carey, O'Connor, Cher, Sade, Frampton, Foreigner, Kool & the Gang and Kravitz are on the ballot for the first time. Osbourne was previously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006.
The Class of 2024 will be announced in late April and will be formally enshrined during an induction ceremony to be held in Cleveland this fall. The new members will be determined by an international voting body made up of more than 1,000 artists, historians and music industry members, plus a fan vote on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be broadcast live on Disney+. It will also be available on Hulu upon its premiere and will also receive a special broadcast on ABC.
Last year's class included Rage Against the Machine, Willie Nelson, Missy Elliott, Kate Bush, George Michael, Sheryl Crow and The Spinners.
