Who will make up the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction class? It all has to start somewhere and today (Feb. 12) the Rock Hall served up the acts that will be on this year's nomination ballot.

Notably, all invitees must fall into one of five categories: performers, non-performers, early influences, and lifetime achievement with – as late as 2000 – a final category, musical excellence (initially christened ‘sidemen’) being added in order to mop up all the amazing lesser-known session players, that have made music possible over the years.

The late R&B singer was the original frontman of The Impressions, a musical group that he co-founded with Curtis Mayfield.

The 83 year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, perhaps best known for mega hits like “Mrs. Robinson,” “The Sound of Silence” and “America,” made the announcement on Tuesday as he referenced his “Quiet Celebration Tour” in an Instagram post.

Phish is off to a very strong start after one week of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fan voting. The jam band kings have gotten 101,157 fan votes since they were announced as one of 14 nominees for the class of 2025.
