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.

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.

This year, for the fourth year in a row, four or more women are being inducted into the Rock Hall. Along with Lauper, The White Stripes’ Meg White, Salt-N-Pepa and Carol Kaye are receiving the honors. The institution has faced criticism in recent years for the lack of female representation among its inductees.
