In the early years of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which had its first induction ceremony in 1986, the winners were unquestioned gods of the genre, like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and the Beatles. The inclusion of Radiohead and Jackson should please some of the hall’s detractors. (Michael Jackson was also inducted as a solo artist in 2001.) Nicks, who was already in the hall as a member of Fleetwood Mac, has been recognized for her solo career. She will be the first female multiple inductee, joining more than 20 men, including Michael Jackson, Lou Reed and each Beatle.
