British artists Kate Bush, Iron Maiden, George Michael and Joy Division/New Order made the short list along with first-year eligible American artists The White Stripes and Missy Elliott.  Matt met Jack White at the recent iHeartRadio ALTer Ego gig in Los Angeles last month. 

MUSE deserve to be recognized but may have to wait a few years to get on the ballot and be inducted perhaps sometime in the late 2020's or 2030's. Coldplay will likely not have to wait that long.

Among the diverse 2023 inductees announced today are Willie Nelson, George Michael, Kate Bush and Rage Against The Machine while Iron Maiden and Soundgarden missed out even though they ranked in the Top 5 in the fan voting.  

Coldplay and MUSE were both eligible this year but could be nominated in 2024.  IMO Iron Maiden and Motörhead also deserve to be inducted.

In a message shared on their social media, RATM wrote:

"It is a surprising trajectory for us to be welcomed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1991, four people in Los Angeles formed a musical group to stand where sound and solidarity intersect. We called ourselves Rage Against the Machine.

"A band who is as well known for our albums as we are for our fierce opposition to the U.S. war machine, white supremacy and exploitation...

"A band whose experimentation in fusing punk, rock and hip-hop became a genre of its own.

"Many thanks to the Hall of Fame for recognizing the music and the mission of Rage Against the Machine. We are grateful to all of the passionate fans, the many talented co-conspirators we've worked with and all the activists, organizers, rebels and revolutionaries past, present and future who have inspired our art."
