5 takeaways from the Rock Hall's class of 2024

The intrigue: Now that we have our inductees, here are five takeaways from this year's class.

👐 DMB's big moment

💭 Troy's thought bubble: Fans of Dave Matthews Band been waiting for this moment since 2020 when the group won the fan vote but failed to get in.

• Matthews appeared at last year's ceremony to induct Willie Nelson, setting up his own induction this year.

⛔ No to Mariah

💭 Troy's thought bubble: Like Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey will need multiple nominations to be inducted.

• She likely lost votes to similar artists like Cher and Blige.

🤘 Two times for Ozzy

💭 Troy's thought bubble: Ozzy Osbourne is being inducted for a second time, having been previously honored with Black Sabbath in 2006.

• Perhaps his induction finally opens the door for other heavy metal acts like Motorhead and Iron Maiden.

🎙️ Hip-hop tribe

💭 Troy's thought bubble: The Rock Hall's emphasis on hip-hop continues with the induction of A Tribe Called Quest.

• A rap artist has been voted in each of the past five years.

⏳ A loaded class

💭 Troy's thought bubble: The class of 2024 has 16 inductees.

• It'll be interesting to see how producers keep the ceremony under five hours.
