When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced Sunday night that Chubby Checker would be inducted into its ranks later this year, many fans of early rock ‘n' roll who'd assumed that the Hall would never reach back that far again were surprised and exultant that a longtime wrong was being righted.

First-time nominees Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker and Bad Company will also be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Phish wins the fan vote but misses the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's cut for its class of 2025, which includes Outkast, the White Stripes, Joe Cocker and more.
