This year, for the fourth year in a row, four or more women are being inducted into the Rock Hall. Along with Lauper, The White Stripes’ Meg White, Salt-N-Pepa and Carol Kaye are receiving the honors. The institution has faced criticism in recent years for the lack of female representation among its inductees.

Phish wins the fan vote but misses the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's cut for its class of 2025, which includes Outkast, the White Stripes, Joe Cocker and more.
