·44 min·4 clips

Joe reveals the Rock Hall induction is on the same day as Kristen's wedding, forcing them to miss it.

This episode is a supercut compilation from the podcast 'Who Cares About the Rock Hall,' hosted by Joe Kwaczala. He introduces the episode by explaining that with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony approaching, he's gathering clips from previous episodes to speculate on who might induct each artist in the Class of 2024. The episode is structured around discussions with various guests about different inductees. First, Joe plays a clip from an episode with Alan Light, who is on the nominating committee, talking about Peter Frampton; they debate whether Sheryl Crow or Cameron Crowe should induct him. Next, a clip with Matt Wardlaw discusses Foreigner, with suggestions like Billy Joel, Sammy Hagar, or Dave Grohl. Then, a clip with Lindsey Zolad focuses on Cher, proposing inductors like Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, or RuPaul, highlighting Cher's status as a gay icon. Another clip with Steve Huey covers Ozzy Osbourne, considering options such as Metallica members or Post Malone. Ricky Vincent is featured discussing Kool & the Gang, with ideas including Bruno Mars, Nile Rogers, or Questlove. The episode also includes older clips: one with Michael Cronin about MC5, suggesting Jack White or Iggy Pop; one with Torio Van Grull about Dave Matthews Band, mentioning Neil Young; one with Morgan Rhodes about Mary J. Blige, noting Sean Combs or Kamala Harris (though both are unlikely now); one with John Darnielle about Dionne Warwick, proposing Burt Bacharach or Gladys Knight; and one with Matt Bronger about A Tribe Called Quest, speculating on Pharrell or Kanye West (with acknowledgment that Kanye's reputation has since changed). Throughout, Joe provides context, noting how some predictions have aged poorly due to events like deaths or scandals. He ends by mentioning the Patreon for new content and humorously referencing Kristen's wedding conflict.
