This is the first year Biggie became eligible for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as it only selects artists who released their first commercial recording at least 25 years ago. "Ready To Die" came out in 1994.

Other artists include the Dave Matthews Band, Depeche Mode, The Doobie Brothers, Judas Priest, MC5, Motörhead, Nine Inch Nails, Todd Rundgren, Soundgarden, T. Rex and Thin Lizzy.

The 2020 inductees will be announced in January 2020, according to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.
