Is the the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ready to make “out with the old and in with the new” its new credo? Not quite, since 83-year-old “Let’s Twist” singer Chubby Checker was on Tuesday nominated for induction for the first time, along with the late Joe Cocker and the long-dormant English band Bad Company, whose senior surviving members range in age from 75 to 80. But five of the 14 other 2025 nominees announced Wednesday as 2025 nominees — the Black Crowes, OutKast, Mana, Billy Idol and jam-band favorites Phish — have never appeared on the ballot before. They represent a newer musical generation for the hall, which deems artists eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording. The criteria for being nominated and inducted includes musical excellence, impact, longevity and innovation. Repeat nominees this year include Mariah Carey, Oasis, The White Stripes, Joy Division/New Order, Cyndi Lauper (whose 2024 farewell tour included a memorable November concert at SDSU’s Viejas Arena) and Seattle’s Soundgarden, whose drummer — Matt Cameron — is a San Diego native.
