Carol Kaye, other artists who turned down Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

• Kaye, who's worked with the likes of Brian Wilson, Phil Spector and Quincy Jones, had long populated lists of Rock Hall snubs.

What they're saying: "[I'm] turning it down because it wasn't something that reflects the work that studio musicians do and did in the golden era of the 1960s, recording hits," Kaye wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post. "You are always part of a TEAM, not a solo artist at all."

• "I refuse to be part of a process that is something else rather than what I believe in, for others' benefit and not reflecting on the truth — We all enjoyed working with EACH OTHER."
• Kaye thanked her fans, friends and family for their support in a later post.

Flashback: She isn't the first artist to "decline" induction. The Sex Pistols, Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead), and Axl Rose (Guns N' Roses) all famously disavowed their inductions.

• More recently, artists like Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) and Thom Yorke (Radiohead) skipped their respective ceremonies.

Yes, but: All of those artists were still inducted and Kaye will be as well. She is set to be honored with the Music Excellence Award at a Nov. 8 ceremony in Los Angeles.

• The Rock Hall doesn't require an artist's consent to honor them.

The other side: Kaye could change her mind, as Jay-Z did in 2021.

• Likewise, Dolly Parton declined her nomination in 2022 but changed her mind and went on to headline that year's ceremony.
