The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame isn’t just about music — it’s about the artists who changed everything. In this special episode, I’m honoring the 2025 inductees who reshaped genres, broke boundaries, and defined entire eras — from Soundgarden and Cyndi Lauper to Outkast, The White Stripes, and more.
These icons didn’t just top charts. They redefined what it means to be an artist — bold, fearless, original — and their influence still echoes through everything we hear today.
