Foo Fighters, Tina Turner and Jay-Z lead the 2021 nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The list features 16 artists, who are eligible for nomination 25 years after the release of their first official recording. Although, some artists are looking at a potential second feature in the Hall of Fame. Tina Turner was originally featured in 1991, as one part of Ike & Tina Turner. Dave Grohl is currently featured as the drummer of Nirvana, but could be featured as part of Foo Fighters.
Stevie Nicks was the first female artist to be inducted into the Hall of Fame twice in 2019.
