The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced the 2025 roster of inductees on April 27 at 8:30 pm during a live broadcast of American Idol. 15 minutes later, we recorded an episode analyzing the announcements! What you get in this episode is our immediate reaction in a raw, unrehearsed discussion. Rob and Alan are joined by our good buddy JM Tuffley (@tuffley or @jmtuffley) and we talk about the people who made it in this year, the ones who didn't make it in this year, the biggest surprises on the list, and more!
