John Sykes, head of the foundation, released a statement about the exciting new nominees. He said, “This year’s ballot recognizes a diverse group of incredible artists, each who has had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture.” Before a person or group can be nominated, they must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years ago.
