If Foo Fighters are inducted into the Hall of Fame, it will mark Dave Grohl's second time to receive the honour, after he was inducted with Nirvana in 2014.
The inductees will be announced in May, with the Rock Hall planning a live ceremony in Cleveland this Autumn.
Fans can vote for their favourite artists on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website until 30 April. The top five acts will be submitted as a "fans' ballot" alongside ballots submitted by the music industry.
Inductees for the 2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame included Depeche Mode, Whitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, T. Rex and The Notorious B.I.G.
