The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the 14 nominees for induction in 2025. As has become standard, part of the fun of seeing this list is reading all the joy and anger coming from fans reacting to the inclusion or exclusion of their favorites.

Formed by Jack White and Meg White in Detroit in 1997, the White Stripes released six studio albums from 1999 to 2007. This is the band’s second year of eligibility, first being nominated in 2003.

There are 14 nominees put forward as possible inductees to the institution this year, and eight of those are first-time nominees. Those are Bad Company, the Black Crowes, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol,
