Soundgarden Nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Soundgarden has been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the third time, alongside 13 other artists, including Mariah Carey and Oasis. Vicky Cornell, the widow of late lead singer Chris Cornell, expressed gratitude for the nomination, highlighting its significance to fans and the band's legacy in music. Formed in 1984, Soundgarden was a pioneer of the Seattle grunge movement, known for hits like "Black Hole Sun" and "Rusty Cage." Chris Cornell passed away in 2017, and his contributions continue to resonate with fans. The final inductees will be announced in late April 2025, with the nomination process requiring artists to have released their first commercial record at least 25 years prior. This nomination reflects the ongoing impact of Soundgarden's music and its historical importance in the rock genre.
