As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, about the 17 artists and groups being considered for 2022 induction, the head of the foundation that runs the Rock Hall, John Sykes said, "This year's ballot recognizes a diverse group of incredible artists, each who has had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture."
