Second time’s a charm for Michigan’s Jack White. He and Meg White’s band, The White Stripes, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Jack and Meg formed the band in Detroit in 1997, releasing six studio albums from 1999 to 2007. This was their second year being nominated, first being in 2023.

Announced tonight on “American Idol,” the 2025 Rock Hall class also includes first-time nominees Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Bad Company and Outkast, as well as Cyndi Lauper (2nd nomination) and Soundgarden (3rd nomination).

Salt-N-Pepa and the late Warren Zevon will get the Musical Influence Award. The late record producer Thom Bell, pianist Nicky Hopkins and bassist Carol Kaye will each get the Musical Excellence Award.

The induction ceremony will take place in Los Angeles this fall.

The others who were nominated for this class were: The Black Crowes, Billy Idol, Maná, Phish, Mariah Carey, Joy Division/New Order, and Oasis.

Nominees were voted on by more than 1,200 artists, historians and music industry professionals.

The selection criteria include “an artist’s impact on other musicians, the scope and longevity of their career and body of work, as well as their innovation and excellence in style and technique.”

Last year, Mary J. Blige, Cher, Foreigner, A Tribe Called Quest, Kool & The Gang, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band and Peter Frampton all were inducted.
