Learn more about the performers below.

A Tribe Called Quest

Formed in Queens in 1985, A Tribe Called Quest is best known for pioneering the alternative hip-hop genre with hits like “Can I Kick It,” “Scenario,” and “Check the Rhime.” The group — composed of producer and leader Q-Tip, later rapper Phife Dawg, DJ and co-producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and rapper Jarobi White — never shied away from exploring their own eclectic creative influences, mixing genres like “rock and roll to the beat of the funk fuzz” and creating a league of their very own. The group released five celebrated albums — 1990’s People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, 1991’s The Low End Theory, 1993’s Midnight Marauders, 1996’s Beats, Rhymes and Life, and 1998’s The Love Movement — before going on to launch their own successful individual careers. A sixth and final album, We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service, was released following Phife Dawg's death in 2016.

Cher

After declaring that she’d never accept an invitation into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and later walking her comments back, Cher is ready to join this year’s class of inductees after all. The Goddess of Pop rose to popularity alongside then-husband Sonny Bono as the duo Sonny and Cher, before going on to pave the way for female artists around the globe with her own powerful solo career with hits like "Believe," "If I Could Turn Back Time," "Strong Enough," and more. In fact, the Oscar winner is the only woman to have a number one song on the Billboard charts in each of the past seven decades.

Dave Matthews Band

Everyone knows someone who is a Dave Matthews Band fan. The legendary jam band, which was formed in 1991, is known for their nonstop touring schedule and explorative guitar solos that have drawn in fans of all ages from all over the globe with songs like "The Space Between," "Crash Into Me," and "American Baby." As a result, they have not only cultivated their own dedicated fanbase, but become one of the biggest rock acts in the world, with seven straight albums debuting at number one on the Billboard charts. 

Foreigner

Long live the jukebox hero! Foreigner is one of the best-selling rock bands of all time — and for good reason. The British-American group — which was formed by Mick Jones, Lou Gramm, Dennis Elliott, Al Greenwood, Ed Gagliardi, and Ian McDonald in New York City in 1976 — is known for creating lasting hits like “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Cold as Ice,” “Long, Long Way From Home,” “Hot Blooded,” and, of course, “Juke Box Hero.” Their powerful guitar solos and cathartic choruses continue to make waves to this day.

Kool & the Gang

Celebrate good times, come on! Kool & the Gang, which was founded in New Jersey in 1964, is known for their collection of funky fresh number one hits like “Ladies’ Night,” “Celebration,” and “Get Down On It.” The funk and soul band's legacy has only continued to grow over the last six decades, with artists like Nas, Ice Cube, Wu-Tang Clan, Jhene Aiko, continuing to sample their feel-good tunes to this day. 

Mary J. Blige

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is also set to induct the Queen of R&B herself, Mary J. Blige, this year. The New York City singer exploded on the R&B scene with her 1992 album What’s the 411? and has only gotten more popular and beloved in the years since, receiving nine Grammy awards, an Emmy award, and 12 Billboard Music Awards throughout her lasting career. Her hits include "Real Love,” "I'm Goin' Down,” and "Just Fine.” 

Ozzy Osbourne

With the Goddess of Pop and Queen of R&B being inducted this year, it only makes sense that the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, was included, too. This is actually Osbourne’s second time being inducted into the rock hall — he was previously sworn in as a member of influential heavy metal group Black Sabbath in 2006. However, his solo career is just as storied as his time in the band, with a collection of rip-roaring hits like “Crazy Train,” “Bark at the Moon,” and “Mr. Crowley.”

Peter Frampton

Singer-songwriter Peter Frampton is the definition of a rock and roll legend. The musician, who was born in England, has been a part of the very fabric of rock since the 1960s, performing in bands like the Herd and Humble Pie, and collaborating with a collection of artists like George Harrison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dolly Parton, Ringo Starr, David Bowie. He is best known for his 1976 live album Frampton Comes Alive! — which features the unforgettable hit, “Baby, I Love Your Way — and even served as a technical advisor and rock tutor on Cameron Crowe’s film, Almost Famous.
