Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, jajaran artis papan atas yang mengguncang dunia sejak Elvis Presley pertama kali menggoyangkan pinggulnya, akan segera mengabadikan angkatan ke-34.
Sebuah panel internasional yang terdiri dari 1.000 seniman, kritikus, dan anggota industri musik lainnya menyaring daftar 15 finalis, dengan pemungutan suara daring oleh para penggemar yang juga akan menjadi faktor dalam memutuskan siapa yang layak mendapat tempat terhormat di museum populer di Cleveland itu.
Agar memenuhi syarat, seorang seniman atau grup harus membuat rekaman pertamanya 25 tahun yang lalu. Museum ini telah memberi pengakuan pada seniman terkemuka mulai dari musisi rap, hip-hop, folk dan bentuk-bentuk musik terkait, dari Amerika Serikat dan berbagai penjuru dunia.
Mereka yang terpilih akan diumumkan pada bulan Desember dan tampil dalam sebuah konser all-star di Brooklyn, New York City, pada 29 Maret 2019 yang disiarkan melalui televisi. Berikut ini adalah lima finalis.
LL Cool J
Pemenang Grammy Award dua kali ini memulai karir musiknya di rubanah kakek-neneknya di distrik Queens di New York City pada 1980-an dan dengan cepat muncul sebagai salah satu artis hip-hop terhebat. Riwayat hidupnya penuh dengan berbagai penghargaan, termasuk
Kennedy Center Honor pada 2017, yang diberikan kepada seniman yang telah memberikan kontribusi besar pada budaya Amerika.
Stevie Nicks
Hanya sedikit suara pop yang punya suara garang atau lebih mudah diingat seperti Stevie Nicks. Penyanyi-penulis lagu ini sudah masuk Hall of Fame
sejak 1998 sebagai anggota Fleetwood Mac dan mendapatkan nominasi solo pertamanya tahun ini. Penampilan gipsi khasnya dengan syal dan gaun yang menjumbai memang tak ada duanya, tetapi suara sedihnyalah yang menggugah generasi penggemarnya yang baru dewasa ini. Beberapa lagunya yang terkenal adalah “Stand Back,” “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” (duet dengan Tom Petty) dan “After the Glitter Fades.”
Todd Rundgren
Todd Rundgren adalah rocker klasik, dengan hits seperti “Hello, It’s Me,” “I Saw the Light,” “Bang the Drum All Day” dan “Can We Still Be Friends.” Rundgren juga seorang multi-instrumentalis yang banyak memenangkan penghargaan, penyanyi dan penulis lagu, serta tokoh di balik produksi album-album hit untuk Grand Funk Railroad, Meat Loaf dan Patti Smith.
Janet Jackson
Sekalipun karier Janet Jackson dimulai di bawah bayang-bayang para kakak laki-lakinya – Jackson 5 (masuk ke Hall of Fame pada tahun 1997) dan Raja Pop Michael Jackson (masuk pada tahun 2001) – namun itu tidak lama. Penyanyi, penulis lagu, penari dan aktris ini telah mendominasi panggung
hiburan selama empat dekade, menjual 160 juta album rekaman dan memenangkan lima penghargaan Grammy dan 11 American Music dan Billboard Music untuk video musik dan lagu-lagu hitsnya seperti “Nasty,” “Black Cat,” “All for You” dan “That’s The Way Love Goes.”
Devo
Amat terkenal
karena seragam jumpsuit dan topi “kubah energi” nya, para rocker punk eksentrik dari Ohio ini menyerbu dunia musik pada tahun 1973. “Whip It” adalah salah satu lagu mereka yang paling berkesan ditambah ciri khas tak terlupakan yang mereka bawakan pada lagu Rolling Stones, “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” dengan versi mereka.
