Rock Hall Projected

Post a Comment

This is a continuation of the Rock Hall Revisited project, which looked back at the past 25 Rock Hall inductions. Rock Hall Projected picks up with the 2025 induction class and will vote on at least 15 future Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction classes. The voting rules will continue from Rock Hall Revisited. A spin-off project is ranking all of the performer inductees of both the Revisited and Projected classes.

Thanks again to Gassman (and others!) for organizing and moderating the voting.

So Im gonna test the waters a bit here for the Community Class thing I mentioned by posting my 7 snub suggestions here. If no one elses follows up with their suggestions, I'll know my idea won't work. If peoplr do follow up, great! My snub suggestions for the community class are:
King Crimson
Slade
Soundgarden
Cyndi Lauper
Bad Brains
TOOL
Blur
Daft Punk

Hey Darren, do you mind explaining what Snub Madness is?

Posted by Raichu on Wednesday, 03/2/2022 @ 10:53am


This is a fascinating project. I don't know when they usually occur or whether I have time to be here when they do but a couple of observations:

a) Now that Calypso is inducted in the Hall and this project with Harry Belafonte, I thing Zydeco should also get a shoutout at some point. Clifton Chenier is probably the inductee, but there's also Buckwheat Zydeco.

b) I think Luther Vandross is being underestimated here. Probably the biggest R&B snub for this project so far. Give or take Patti Labelle. But the man was a force. And probably the biggest male name in the genre in the 80s and early 90s.

Posted by Matt K on Friday, 06/10/2022 @ 13:38pm


So, is this going to start back up any time soon or is dead?

Posted by Raichu on Monday, 06/13/2022 @ 09:56am


This project will be restarting around the end of this month, so things will be starting up again soon.

Before things get rolling with voting again, I do want to bring up those additions that were made a few months ago. We had had a vote for adding the Del-Tones and the Raymen to Dick Dale & Link Wray, but then TWELVE additional changes were made to inductees without really a big vote and with the majority of voters not commenting on the topic and it's never sat right with me. For a project that's over 10 years old now, we've had a lot of voters come and go, but I really feel like we should not have made these changes without a thorough discussion amongst the majority of voters for this project. The voters had voted the way they had for a reason, and unless some really compelling evidence can be made, I really don't think any retrospective changes should be made at all.

Perhaps the most egregious change was adding The Revolution/New Power Generation to Prince's induction for the class of 2004, as we had already inducted the Revolution as sidemen a few classes later in 2007.

So if the voters are around, can we collectively discuss the retrospective changes? Am I the only one that feels this way?

Posted by Steve Z on Monday, 06/13/2022 @ 11:33am


Hey Steve Z, you're not the only one. I've written it before, I do think it was wrong to add all these side groups retroactively. I regret my yes vote on the Del-Tones to this day.

Posted by MichaelEU on Monday, 06/13/2022 @ 12:03pm


So whenever the project does start up again, will the birth month double nomination rule be in effect like the Song and Album Projects or is it one nomination per person. like normal?

Posted by Raichu on Monday, 06/13/2022 @ 13:46pm


I have a question, since there is some discussion again. There is an artist that was inducted as Influence that I see as someone who should be in as a performer. Can I go ahead and nominate that act or just let sleeping dogs lie?

Ntndeacon I think you're better off leaving it alone. It probably won't make a difference since everyone would likely not vote for an act already in the influence.

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 06/14/2022 @ 09:15am

My question about the birth month rule hasn't be answered yet so I'm gonna assume its a no.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 06/14/2022 @ 12:27pm


Darren would need to answer that. I guess the answer no and it only applies to the song and album projects.

Hey Mat R,
a few names on your list have already gotten in the project. You might have to do some scrolling to find some of them, but they are in.
Also, I've made Spotify playlists for the performer inductees of both the Revisited and Projected classes up to the latest one. Might also make nominee playlists when the time comes like the actual Hall does.

Revisited playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3mD7DOLIoBVhbqAM2um4mN?si=c952f137a9b04b99
Projected playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2fb78fKwHvg17T2tVKlrIq?si=15bb0594649042cf
Enjoy

I'm not Darren, but I guarantee the birthday month double nomination question is a no.

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 06/15/2022 @ 20:29pm


No, the birthday month double nomination rule change doesn't apply to the Re-Visited / Projected project.

The rules of the Song and Album Project are completely separate from this project.

Steve Z - We won't be removing side groups from inductions or re-considering their inductions after they were added last year.

We will be moving forward with the next class of inductions and only consider adding side-groups to existing inductees if the voters feel that is absolutely necessary in the future.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 06/16/2022 @ 00:06am


FFY Performers: Alabama Shakes
Sideman: Michael Brecker
Influence: Blind Willie McTell
Non-Performer: Jimmy Webb

Brittany Howard and colleagues are a pretty unique act in these days.
Michael Brecker was a saxophone virtuoso who not only was an highly respected jazz player himself but also an outstanding side player. Some of his work can be found on Brothers in Arms, Born to Run or Parliament's Mothership Connection, as well as on records for Billy Joel, Elton John, John Lennon, Carly Simon, Aretha Franklin and others.
Blind Willie McTell was the outstanding figure of Piedmont Blues, which was one origin of the later Folk Blues Revival of the 60s. Many of his songs were later covered and interpreted by some legendary artists like Johnny Cash (Delia) or the Allman Brothers (Statesboro Blues). Bob Dylan even made a song about him (Blind Willie McTell).
Jimmy Webb is one of the greatest songwriters of all time: Wichita Lineman, By the Time I Go to Phoenix, Galveston, MacArthur Park, Up Up and Away, The Last Unicorn, just to name a few.

Darren,
I just registered with Nick, so, hopefully my user name will be on the list soon.
I had a quick question . . . I want to nominate someone for the First Five Years of Eligibility, whose first recording came out in 2008, but is not on the list for that year on the official FRL link page. Can I still nominate him? The artist is José James, and his first recording was "The Dreamer", released in 2008.
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 06/16/2022 @ 13:37pm


Kenmil - That's an interesting scenario, but I think that we should keep artists' eligibility within the 5 year window.

It's unfortunate that some artists aren't listed on the FRL Link page, but I have to think that the list is fairly comprehensive and that it would be unlikely that a viable candidate would be left off.

You certainly could nominate him for his respective genre vote or the general votes that will come up at the end of the nomination process, even if he's not listed on FRL yet.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 06/16/2022 @ 14:32pm


Darren,
Who should I contact to get him a page on the official "complete list", let alone the 2008 eligibility list?
He's not a completely unknown, fly-by-night musician, but a legit singer, who has released 11 albums (on Brownswood, Impulse!, and Blue Note labels, until he started his own label), known especially in Jazz, r&b, and hip-hop circles. In fact, he's been called a "jazz singer of the hip-hop generation".
It's a shame he can't be included.
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 06/16/2022 @ 14:48pm


Kenmil - I notified the owner of FRL and sent him your request to add him to the site.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 06/16/2022 @ 17:41pm


Thank you, Sir Darren!

Hi Darren!

Blind Willie Johnson was my influence nominee. He's in the sidemen category.
Thanks.

Ken

Posted by Kenmil on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 06:35am


Also, Michael Omartian is in both the non-performer and the influences category. I nominated him for non-performer, so, unless someone else nominated him as an influence, he probably shouldn't be in that category.
Thank you for all your hard work!

Posted by Kenmil on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 06:42am


I nominated James Booker as Sidemen

Posted by Ozma on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 08:08am


Darren

ngl that's a bad list of nominees.

Like Alabama Shakes probably isn't gonna go in cause Brittany Howard was that group and she's herself

How do you justify Mumford & Sons over Imagine Dragons if your picking a critically detested populist group?

Chance the Rapper as it stands today is not going in as performer

Toni Basil? For making like one music video?

Posted by mat r on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 13:09pm


Damn Clarence Avant and Elizabeth Cotten are in the hall already. Give his spot to like Hype Williams or David Fincher or Ryan Schreiber or Anthony Fantano or someone else who has like shaped in the last 20 to 35 years and her's to like Wendy Carlos or Cole Porter or Zutty Singleton

Posted by mat r on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 13:20pm


Darren had zero input as to how the artists and other people nominated this round or any other round. Instead of complaining of our selections, participate in the project and nominate in future rounds.

Posted by Nick B. on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 13:38pm


That should had "Darren had zero say in the creation of this ballot and who was nominated." Our voters nominate these artists and other people in side categories for the Rock Hall Projected Project. Regardless, I stand by my last sentence. I would like you to join us but also please respectful of others' nominations (even if you strongly disagree with them). There's no "facepalm" nominees in my opinion.

I nominated Alabama Shakes for a good reason, what's wrong with that??? People have to vote for the nominees first anyway, nobody gets in directly. Criticizing from the outside, without any idea of what's going on here, is annoying. What makes Imagine Dragons more deserving than Mumford & Sons? BTW, Wendy Carlos was inducted years ago...

I never read anything like this in all the years.

Posted by MichaelEU on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 14:50pm


Nick B

I know he didn't but what was the filtering and I asked before the thing closed and got no reply. I wanted to make sure I had it straight and was registered but again got no reply.

And yes there are facepalms like Clarence Avant and Elizabeth Cotten

Posted by mat r on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 14:50pm


You sent an email my podcast email account that Darren had mentioned in the prompts over the last few weeks? You need to do that to become a member of these projects. I didn't get anything from you and, as others can agree, I'm pretty quick to reply to those emails. Send an email again to inquiry participation. I'll keep an eye on it this afternoon before I fly out.

Posted by Nick B. on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 14:57pm


MichaelEU

I would argue it's the wrong thing to pick cause it is largely an extension of Brittany Howard more than it's own band and I think the inductee would be her rather than the group

Posted by mat r on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 14:57pm


And to clarify, I'm the person who verifies participants in this project as well as the album and song projects on FRL. Darren runs the Projected and Album Projects and I oversee the Song Project. It's my way of helping Darren out.

Please let me know if you run into any issues submitting your ballots.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 23:40pm


Thank you for pointing out the errors in the nominees. I've corrected the ones that were posted.

Mat r - If you've sent the registration email to Nick's email address, you can follow the links that I posted to vote in the polls of your choosing. You'll need to fill out the email address that you registered with, the user name that you post with on FRL and the password that Nick provided you in his reply email. Then you need to fill out the ballot with the exact number of votes for that poll. Generally speaking, the number of votes per ballot is the number of nominees divided by 3 and then rounded up, so it may vary from round to round.

You seem to have some misunderstandings about how this project works.

For starters, we are not suggesting performers for the actual Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. FRL has it's own hall of fame. We induct 7 performers, 2 Non-Performers, 2 Influences and 2 Sidemen per year. If there are inductees in the RNR HOF that aren't in our project, it's simply because we haven't inducted them yet. Notably, we have inducted dozens of eligible performers that the Rock Hall hasn't yet.

The process that we're currently engaged in is the nomination process. The top two finishers in each of these category polls will be added to the ballot. The final ballot will include 30 Performers, 10 Non-Performers, 10 Influences and 10 Sidemen.

After the ballots are all filled, we'll have the final vote to determine the inductees. It's entirely possible that none of the Round 1 winners will be inducted, particularly in the Performers category, as we have genre specific votes to determine the ballot nominees. This first genre is "Newly Eligible Artists (First Five Years Of Eligibility)". These are artists whose first recording was released between 10-14 years ago, according to FRL. This is why you are seeing so many recent artists on the Performers ballot.

The next genre will be Classic Rock / Metal, followed by Classic Alternative / Punk, and so on. After the Performers genre nominations, we will fill out the final 9 available spots with 3 general votes.
_________________________________

You're allowed to have your own opinions on who should or shouldn't be inducted into this project, but please remain respectful of other people's opinions.

No one needs to justify or defend their preferred nominees. It's very difficult to get nominated in these projects, so if people agree with your opinions, it will be reflected in the results.

Even if you choose not to register as a voter, you are still eligible to make nominations to these votes each week.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 07/1/2022 @ 23:58pm


darren

i don't have any misunderstandings at all about the project. i asked how to take part here and how it works and was ignored, likely cause it got missed much like how i missed this email and general guidelines

Posted by mat r on Saturday, 07/2/2022 @ 00:14am


Mat R - Just send an email if you want to participate in the project and I will provide the specifics for the project (as Darren explained really well). If not, I don't know what else to tell you.

Posted by Nick B. on Saturday, 07/2/2022 @ 00:19am


Mat R, I nominated Toni Basil for Non-Performer. Here's my reasoning from when I did that last year:

For Non-Performers, I'm renominating Toni Basil for her work as a dancer and choreographer. She's worked with The Monkees, Tina Turner, David Bowie, the Talking Heads and Bette Midler, along with serving as assistant choreographer on The T.A.M.I. Show. She also helped popularize the current trend of street dancing as a founding member and manager for the Lockers dance troupe in the '70.

Posted by Ian on Saturday, 07/2/2022 @ 07:08am


Ian

I get the logic for her, and think it's fair, but i think it pales compared to some similar figures in particular paula abul, who despite what most might think is massively influential, and bob fosse. It does come down to once in a lifetime being very good but i don't know it that pushes her over abdul.

Posted by Mat r on Saturday, 07/2/2022 @ 14:50pm


Mat r - You make an excellent argument for Paula Abdul. Nominations for the next round of Non-Performers begins after the results are posted on Monday night if you'd like her to be on the next nomination ballot.

Posted by Darren on Saturday, 07/2/2022 @ 16:22pm


Mat, I considered Paula Abdul as a nominee; however, I still stand by Toni Basil as a pick over her. In terms of length of career, diversity of clients, and their overall impact on dance in rock performance, I believe Basil has the edge. On top of that, Abdul has a stronger shot over Basil to one day get in as a Performer (however slim that shot might be); for that reason, I think Basil makes more sense over her as a Non-Performer.

In regards to Fosse, no matter how well known or influential he is as a choreographer, his career had little to no bearing on rock music or rock performance. Apart from some influence on Michael Jackson's style of performance, he is not really eligible for this project.

Posted by Ian on Saturday, 07/2/2022 @ 22:08pm


Ian

Fosse, along with richard lester, basically invented the way music videos are shot and edited. Fincher, bay, williams, khan all took notes from caberet and all that jazz on how to present music on film. Other than a hard day's night, no other media had more of an influence on music videos than does two films.

Fosse's impact on rock is massive

Tom, I think the timeline for metal is a little broader, so I'm going to go ahead and nominate Dream Theater again.


Missed the nominations last round, so here are my picks:

Non-performer: Greg Ginn - founder of SST Records, probably the biggest and most important indie label during the pre-Nirvana formative period for indie and alternative rock

Influence: Thomas A. Dorsey - the "Father of Gospel Music"

Sideman: Max Bennett - bassist who played on key records by Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Frank Zappa, and others

Posted by Ray on Thursday, 07/7/2022 @ 19:50pm


Ray- I appreciate that. Chalk it up to a combination of second guessing the timeline and wanting to make sure that Dio got nominated. Dream Theater is one of my favorite acts of the last 30 years so they always have my vcote

Posted by Tom H. on Thursday, 07/7/2022 @ 20:16pm


Man I don't know what my problem is lately but everything I nominate on all the boards are in already or already nominated.

I'll change Supertramp to:

Ringo Starr

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 07/12/2022 @ 20:45pm


tiebreak: Phil Collins


Genre nominee:
Live

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 07/12/2022 @ 21:01pm


jtrichey - I won't insist that you change your nomination of Live, but in my opinion they would be a better fit for next week's "Modern Rock/Alternative/Indie" genre vote, since that's more 90's + 21st Century oriented and they don't fit well under the label of "Punk" like Blink-182 does. Up to you, though.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 07/12/2022 @ 23:41pm


Tie-breaker: Phil Collins

Performer Nomination: Oingo Boingo

Posted by John R.C. on Wednesday, 07/13/2022 @ 06:09am

Posted by Ozma on Wednesday, 07/13/2022 @ 08:16am


John R.C. - You didn't vote in the Round 2 Performers vote, so I can't count your tiebreaker vote.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 07/13/2022 @ 14:46pm


Understood Darren but I have someone I like better for the next round and I don't really have a good option for this category. I'll stick with Live

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 07/13/2022 @ 21:56pm


Tom: Hey, no worries. I'm a fan of them, too, and they're one of my biggest priorities, so glad I was able to spot you on that one. It's a tight field, but hopefully they can break through sooner rather than later.


Tiebreakers:

Scorpions
Alvin "Red" Tyler


Performer nom: Wire

A few others I considered were Minor Threat, The Misfits, Discharge, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, The Fall, P.I.L., Dinosaur Jr, Swans, and Talk Talk.

Posted by Ray on Thursday, 07/14/2022 @ 07:52am


Tiebreaker Results:

Phil Collins - 9

Hey gang, sorry I haven't been around for discussion or nominations. Those of you who are FB friends with me know that I'm in a really nasty predicament right now in my personal life. Very frustrating. Not quite to the point of tears, but that is a real possibility, tbh.

So apologies for not being around to nominate. But thank you for still including my votes.

Frustrated as frickedy-frack.

Judging from who people are nominating for performer, I'm just gonna go ahead and nominate Pavement.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 07/19/2022 @ 08:37am


Hi everyone!
I don't sense much love on this page for progressive rock, judging by the somewhat poor showing for my choices of Patrick Moraz (who played on seminal albums for two hall of fame bands, but didn't get inducted himself with either, and played on so many more prog and jazz/rock albums, to the point that one rock critic called him "progressive rock's greatest session keyboardist") for sideman, Roger Dean (whose artwork for Yes, Uriah Heep, Budgie, etc. was so distinctive and influencial) for non-performer, and my classic rock selection of Uriah Heep in the first performers round. So, I'm going to make a few changes for my nominees.
I will keep my influence nominee.
My nominee for non-performer will be Gilles Peterson, who, as DJ, broadcaster, promoter, producer, and record label owner, almost single-handedly was responsible for the acid jazz/club music movement in the 90's which also influenced hip-hop, electronic, and jazz music as well. He founded the "Acid Jazz", "Talkin' Loud", and "Brownswood" labels, and is very worthy of consideration for the non-performer category.
My nominee for side person is the great bassist Abraham Laboriel. From the mid 70's on, and even today, you would find his name on some of the greatest soul/r&b/jazz fusion/pop and even rock albums, so much so that he has been called "the most widely used session bassist of our time" by Guitar Player magazine.

Sorry I wrote so much this time. Just so it's clear, here are my official nominees for this round:

Performer: Switchfoot
Non-Performer: Gilles Peterson
Influence: Blind Willie Johnson
Side person: Abraham Laboriel

Thanks,
Kenmil

Genre nomination:

St. Vincent

No side category changes.

Raichu, Pavement is already inducted.

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 07/19/2022 @ 11:10am


MichealEU,

Pavement is in? When I used the find on page tool on my phone I didn't see their name. I guess I'll take your word for it and nominate Arctic Monkeys then.
What year did Pavement get in?

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 07/19/2022 @ 11:26am


Update: K so I see Pavement got inducted in 2019. Ignore the question above.

Darren,
I just went to vote for the sidemen and noticed that Patrick Moraz is still on it. Though I would love to have two nominees on the list, it isn't fair to everyone else, so it should probably be corrected, since I had replaced him with Abraham Laboriel.

SotN - Voting is now different as Darren and I use Google Forms polls for the Song, Album and Projected Projects. To participate as a a voter, we require new voters to send an email to my podcast email address (rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com). This is done because the ballots are password-protected.

You will still post nominations on this forum and, if needed, tiebreaker votes are conduced here too. Darren will post the links to these ballots on these forums.

Send an email to that email address above and I will respond with the password needed to vote.

Let me know if you have any additional questions and/or need clarification.

(and I have to say, how did this category get it's own 2 nominees? I don't feel like this should be one of the categories. I probably said something similar when we were arranging it.)

Genre Nom: Garth Brooks

Changing my sideman nomination to Zakk Wylde, rest are staying the same

Tbh I'm kinda getting burned out/bored of doing this. Maybe its because I'm still waiting for actual ballot to be complete, maybe its because I'm getting tired of doing all this mini votes just to get to the big one, I'm not sure.

Posted by Raichu on Wednesday, 07/27/2022 @ 11:22am


It's like anything else we do in these projects: it's a process and requires us to take some time to produce a quality ballot.

Also, this is a lot more digestible than what it used to be when it started in January and only getting 1 nominee per week. That was too tedious for the results produced. So I think this process for the Projected Project is actually being fast-tracked and moving along much quicker than I was expecting.

The following artists have already been nominated for the 2022 ballot, either by automatically being nominated as a result of the 2021 vote or by winning a genre vote this year, and don't need to be nominated for this qualifying genre vote:

Blink-182
Fiona Apple
Gang Of Four
Hole

This week's genre vote is R'n'B.

Any voter that's interested in participating can nominate one eligible Performer.

Performer: Larry Graham & Graham Central Station

So thankful that Blind Willie Johnson got in. Thank you, everyone who voted for this man who was a major influence on so many artists, including my all-time favorite musician, Bruce Cockburn.

Influence: Mike Oldfield

Hoping my sideman nominee, Abraham Laboriel gets in via the tie-breaker.
Cheers!

Raichu - The google poll results indicate that you didn't vote in this round's Non-Performer or Influence ballots, so I can't count your tiebreaker votes.

jtrichey - Drake isn't automatically nominated, despite losing a tiebreaker vote. Each genre vote is separate from all other genre votes.

Kurtal - Raichu has already nominated Patti Labelle

Kenmil - The Non-Performers, Influences and Sidemen ballots have been completed (after the conclusion of the tiebreakers). There won't be any more nominations in these categories this year.

Electronica Nominee - The Human League

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 08/8/2022 @ 23:18pm


Electronica Nominee - Moby

Posted by Darren on Monday, 08/8/2022 @ 23:40pm


For my electronica nominee, I'm going to throw a bone to Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. For as many acts as have cited them either as an influence or as a favorite listen ranging from the 80s until today (several of whom we've already inducted, like Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, the Killers, New Order, and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem), they deserve a chance to be in alongside them. Plus, when a band who represents a genre considered outdated can actually reform and still have a degree of relevance in the 2010s and 2020s, well after that genre went out? It says something about their lasting appeal.

Won't lie, though: I did consider The KLF, Gary Numan, and Einstürzende Neubauten too, so those would very likely get my support if nominated.

Posted by SotN on Tuesday, 08/9/2022 @ 00:52am


I'll nominate Fatboy Slim.

Posted by Michael W on Tuesday, 08/9/2022 @ 04:25am


My nominee:

Tangerine Dream

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 08/9/2022 @ 06:25am


I'm really glad that Abraham Laboriel is on the ballot for the side players. Thank you to those who voted for him. So deserving, in my mind, with over 4000 recordings to his credit. By the way, what a line-up we have for side musicians! There is the makings of a phenomenal fusion jazz band among them with Larry Carlton, Abraham Laboriel, Michael Breaker, Steve Gadd, and Paulinho da Costa. We could add Merry Clayton on vocals, as well. All we would need to is to find a great keyboard player, and it would be a phenomenal ensemble. Well done to everyone for assembling such a great line-up of musicians. It's going to be difficult to choose between them, down the road.

I'll post my electronica nominee soon.

Cheers!

suggestions for nominations if anyone is still looking:

Cluster

Throbbing Gristle
Ministry
Gorillaz
The Orb
The Crystal Method
Jean-Michel Jarre
Deadmau5
KMFDM

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 08/9/2022 @ 19:02pm


My nomination for the Electronica genre goes to:

Vangelis

Perhaps the most important electronic musician/composer of his generation, in my opinion. And one of the unique music makers we have heard. His film music scores alone are of such importance that it is as if he too directed whatever movie that he scored.

Hope this helps,

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 08/9/2022 @ 20:24pm


I know Electronica is regarded as more a producer's game, but I'm gonna go ahead and nominate '90s dance chanteuse Amber. Amazing voice from a time when even dance music relied on strong lyrics. I believe she even wrote and produced some of her songs (could be wrong on that one). Anyway, nominating Amber.

Hey, who would you guys consider to be the biggest snub from this project?

For me it's either Taylor Swift, Foreigner or The Strokes

KING Pop Nominee
Sheena Easton

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 08/23/2022 @ 17:41pm


Ok so some of these Pop nominees don't really feel like Pop to me. Like Dionne Warwick is more of an R&B artist and Paramore are more alternative than pop. I can't be the only one thinking this right?

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 08/23/2022 @ 19:02pm


I hope this is legitimate, and if so, my nomination is:

Sting

Let me know if I am wrong,

Lax39

Posted by Lax39 on Tuesday, 08/23/2022 @ 19:24pm


Pop is a very broad genre and I think it's probably difficult to have a ballot consist of "pure" pop acts.

Dionne Warwick is definitely pop-oriented with elements of R&B and easy listening.

Paramore can be classified as pop but pop-infused punk rock.

These nominees seem fine within the broad parameters of this genre.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 08/23/2022 @ 20:02pm


Pop nominee:

Huey Lewis and the News

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 08/23/2022 @ 20:29pm


I just learned that Creed Taylor, producer and founder of CTI records, passed away today. Rest in Peace.
He is someone that definitely should be considered for the non-performer category down the road. I own so many records that have the CTI imprint.

Posted by Kenmil on Tuesday, 08/23/2022 @ 21:36pm


Pop Nom: Taylor Swift

My Pop nom...

The Alan Parsons Project

Genres

art pop
progressive pop

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Tuesday, 08/23/2022 @ 21:52pm


Paramore is a pop rock band in the emo sub-genre, IMO.

Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 08/24/2022 @ 05:31am


Kurtal-

Taylor Swift has already qualified for the final ballot.

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 08/24/2022 @ 06:58am


Hey Kurtal,
I think you might have to nominate a new person because Taylor Swift already made the ballot during the country genre vote.

Posted by Raichu on Wednesday, 08/24/2022 @ 07:34am


Kurtal - They're correct, Taylor Swift is already nominated, so you can nominate someone else for this ballot.

Regarding the concerns about what "Pop" is, it's really whatever you interpret it to be. It's probably the broadest of all genres, so unless someone nominates an artist that is completely anti-melody, I think we should be fine letting the voters decide how they want to interpret what the best candidates for this genre are.

There are 9 "General" ballot spots available after the genre votes are done for any artists that don't make the genre cut, so no worries if someone gets "screwed" over as a result of "genre fraud".

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 08/24/2022 @ 11:08am

Hey, quick question: what really counts as "world music?" This isn't gonna be like the pop vote where I don't think a certain artist fits in the genre, rather this is just me not knowing much about world music.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 08/30/2022 @ 11:38am


World Music is generally styles of music outside of the usual pop / rock universe. It's usually foreign-language music from around the world.

Of the artists suggested, I wouldn't consider Scorpions or The Cranberries to be World Music, as their styles are very much in the same realm as mainstream pop and rock music. In the past, Midnight Oil has been incorrectly (imo) nominated for this genre as well.

Looking at the actual nominees so far, I don't see any questionable nominations as of yet.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 08/30/2022 @ 15:26pm


FYI - The tiebreaker procedure in the event of two or more performers being tied for a nomination spot when there are more than two performers involved in the tiebreaker (say a 7-7-5 tie) is a run-off tiebreaker between those performers tied for the available spot.

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 08/30/2022 @ 20:49pm


My nominee: Burning Spear

Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 08/31/2022 @ 06:33am


For the tiebreaker, I'll go Cyndi Lauper.

As for World Music? If foreign language was the only consideration, I'd have nominated Falco, but I think there's a little too much pop crossover there. Because of that, I'll nominate Os Mutantes. If Falco *does* count, I'll change my nomination back to him.

Question: is there a reason everything always ends at 8pm? I'm only asking because I kinda wish I wasn't asleep when stuff gets posted

Posted by Raichu on Thursday, 09/8/2022 @ 07:45am


The reason ballots are due by 8 pm CST is to accommodate Darren and I's schedules. We run these projects and need to have deadlines that work for us. When we post results, well, that depends when we get around to posting them. It is what it is in that regard. But yes, there is a reason it's now 8pm CST.

Regarding your comment about 'adding tabs' to the shared spreadsheet I created over the summer, **please do not do that.** My approach is more hands-off and I want as little oversight on that as much as possible. To everyone, **please run it by me before making significant changes** (sending an email is strongly me than posting on the forums). And please respect that I am the owner of the spreadsheet and it's meant to just list songs, albums and projected prospects. Nothing really beyond that because I don't have the time or energy to devote to ensuring its accuracy (which is why I make you all editors of the document in the first place). Most questions can be answered with relative ease and often very specific questions/comments/concerns.

Posted by Nick B. on Thursday, 09/8/2022 @ 09:12am


Nick,
gotcha. I already abandoned the tab idea anyways, because the methods of trying to find info I need (searching for keywords on the page) was just a big pain in the ass, so don't worry, nothings gonna happen

There will be three days of tiebreaker voting.

Tiebreaker voting will end at 8 PM Central on Thursday the 29th.

My vote is for Dionne Warwick.

I think that she's by far the most likely candidate in this tiebreaker to be able to gain induction this year if they make the ballot.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 09/26/2022 @ 22:19pm


Here's how the rest of this year's voting will work.

There's currently a tiebreaker to determine the last spot on the Performers ballot. That tiebreaker will end at 8 PM Central on Thursday the 29th.

After the tiebreaker has concluded, I will post the results along with the full ballot of nominees. We will then have a three day discussion period in which voters can campaign for their nominees of choice.

The link to this polls will be posted at approximately 8 PM Central on Sunday the 2nd, the beginning of 5 days of voting, ending at 8 PM Central on Friday, October 7th, when the winners (barring tiebreakers) will be posted.

Anyone want to stump for anyone that I and we should take a closer look at?

Posted by Ray on Saturday, 10/1/2022 @ 16:18pm


RAY
I only have 3 definite votes in Foreigner, Phil Collins, and Sheryl Crow. Some of the others are closely clustered for me. It's disappointing that Bryan Adams, Counting Crows, DIO, Midnight Oil, Scorpions, etc did not make the ballot. I'll have to find 10 deserving. It's probably time for Joan Jett. She has been close before.
KING

Posted by KING on Saturday, 10/1/2022 @ 19:23pm


I have 2-3 acts that have my vote right now.

St. Vincent: There are not many artists that can make me curious and excited with the release of a new album, only St. Vincent, Brandi Carlile and Arcade Fire (and in a way Steve Earle's tribute albums). Everytime she comes up with a new album, you can be pretty sure that it will be artistically advanced, powerful and never boring.

The Moonglows: I found an old documentation on Youtube recently about the early days of Rock'n'Roll. Of course, it was all about Chuck Berry, Elvis, Little Richard, Buddy Holly and so on. I was surprised that the Moonglows was given a spot in this. Their role in the evolution of Rock'n'Roll is undeniable, with credits to Alan Freed. They were the link between classic Rhythm & Blues of the 1940's and early 1950's and the more modern Doo-Wop style of R'n'B, comparable to The Drifters. Harvey Fuqua alone should earn them a spot in the project.

Sheryl Crow: will probably have my vote. I always felt she was under the radar. Her '90s recordings are still high on my personal playlist.

All in all I can say that my ballot will probably be pretty feminine.

Like the years before, this year's influence ballot is stacked again. You can pick anyone without getting it wrong. I'm going with Son House, the other spot is open. Son House was one of those legendary forefathers of the Blues, just like Charley Patton (who got in recently) and Tommy Johnson (who will be considered at some point hopefully). Hard to imagine music history without those people.

Here is where I stand now for the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall Project new class. To begin with, here are my definite picks.

Performers

Phil Collins
Sade
Joan Jett and The Blackhearts

Non-Performers

Sean "Diddy" Combs

Influences I am still deciding between a few.

Sidemen I am still deciding between who to pick.

Among performers, I am also considering Hole, Tangerine Dream, Supertramp, Foreigner, St. Vincent, Alanis Morrisette, Adele, The Human League. Non-Performers I am thinking about include Linda Perry, Max Martin, Tony Visconti. For Influences, I am looking at Elizabeth Cotten, Sun Ra, Celia Cruz, Memphis Minnie. And for sidemen I am leaning towards Biz Markie, Jennifer Batten, Abraham Laboriel, Merry Clayton. Of course, there may be others I might consider. Nonetheless, I am of the opinion that as we have seen in recent years, there will be more women inducted than men. A wise decision. Also pleasing is the decision for each of our ballots to include 10 performers, though obviously 7 will go in. My thanks to FRL for continuing this highly important format of recognizing greats and influencing the actual RRHOF. Long may this continue.

Happy voting,

Lax39

Congrats to the newest inductees of the Rock Hall Projected Class of 2038. And a huge congratulations to The Moonglows for finally getting inducted.

Also, I noticed that the majority of the new inductees in the Performers category are women, and that's quite an achievement. Have we gotten a class in the Revisted/Projected projects were the majority of the Performer inductees are women?

Posted by John R.C. on Monday, 10/10/2022 @ 23:14pm


John R.C. - By my count, the majority of each of the last four classes have been female.

The final part of our annual induction process is proposing changes to the rules and genre votes for next year.

Here are the genres that we used in 2022, with the top two vote-getters being qualified to the final ballot:

Newly Eligible Artists (First Five Years Of Eligibility) & NP / INF / Side
Classic Rock/Metal & NP / INF / Side
Classic Alternative/Punk & NP / INF / Side
Modern Rock/Alternative/Indie & NP / INF / Side
Folk/Country Rock & NP / INF / Side
R'n'B
Electronica
Hip Hop
Pop
World Music

There were also three General votes to fill out the rest of the ballot.

Next year, we will have one performer (Foreigner) that will automatically carry over to the Performers ballot.


What, if any, changes would you like us to consider for the 2023 ballot nomination process?

Please post your suggestions her by 8 PM Central on Monday the 17th and we will begin discussions and possibly schedule rule change votes.

Congrats to the Hall Of Fame Class Induction. I was surprised Alanis, Blink-182, Dionne Warwick, Phil Collins, St. Vincent, Sheryl Crow, etc all fell short. Some had more momentum than others but all will wait until next year. I was also surprised Foreigner could not earn enough votes in the Tiebreaker. They had a string of Platinum albums and Lou Gramm 1 of the best rock singers. Urgent is a KING FAV. I Want To Know What Love Is was a smash hit when I was around 10 years old. Love the choir singing. Like A Prayer-Madonna is another song I enjoy with the choir singing.

A KING salute to Joan Jett finally earning induction. She has already been inducted into the RRHOF. A case of just adding a few more votes. Definitely a Legend now. Helped pave the way for future successful women musicians. I Love Rock & Roll rocks! Never get tired of listening it. Joan Jett intrigues me because she is very nice and soft-spoken. It seems like she never ages. Now in her 60's. TLC is a great surprise and secured 1 of my votes. Beautiful ladies and talented group. Chili was my FAV. They could go slower with Waterfalls and more uptempo with Ain't Too Proud To Beg. It's possible TLC will inducted into the RRHOF soon.

Was very excited to see The MTV VJ's inducted. I was about 7 or 8 when MTV debuted so I was a perfect age to have FAV groups develop. Bryan Adams, Def Leppard, and U2 quickly became FAVS. I made very good choices as all 3 are going strong in 2022. Alan Hunter, JJ Jackson, Martha Quinn, Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood, became like Family. Seeing the different DJ's. My Sister was a Big Duran Duran fan and would listen and watch Hungry Like The Wolf, Planet Earth, Rio, Save A Prayer etc. Other groups like Billy Idol, Culture Club, The Police, and U2 too. Sometimes, I had recording duty trying to wait for a short segment. To young people today, they would not realize how important and influential MTV was for helping launch careers, cool band interviews, creative and interesting videos, concert information etc. The MTV VJ's were very important to the success of MTV. Glad they have been recognized here.

I figured Cyndi Lauper would receive induction. Did not vote for her initially but did vote for Lauper in the Tiebreaker. She does have a powerful voice vocally and Girls Want To Have Fun was a big hit. I think Time After Time is my FAV Cyndi Lauper song. Perfect song! ENIG would be happy to see Sade inducted. He was ahead of the curve on a Sade induction. I believe Sade will be inducted soon RRHOF.

Very good class and a women dominated class as some have already commented. As we witness every month in the projects, every vote indeed counts. Thanks for everyone's participation!

A change I would like to be considered may be a radical suggestion, but a suggestion nonetheless: Having more than just 7 performer inductees. It would help with the current backlog and, if used right, could help get some huge snubs (The Strokes, Adele, Foreigner, etc) managed to get in.

Like I said its a radical suggestion, but give it some thought. Maybe give a test run next year and if it doesn't work out then everything resets to default.

Also the amount it should be increased by shouldn't be high, make it, like, 9 or something idk

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 10/11/2022 @ 17:16pm


Keep it at seven, no use diluting the HoF (even if it's imaginary) like too many people want…

Posted by EDS on Tuesday, 10/11/2022 @ 19:25pm


The numbers of inductees should be kept as they are. Continuity is what makes this project special.

I'd like to repeat a suggestion I made last year: reducing the number of votes for the performers category. 10 is too much. That's a third of the whole ballot. Large voting numbers seem to help the "popular" if not "populist" acts. Acts that don't fit the "mainstream" have a really hard time. Nothing against the current class, definitely not. I just can't see someone like Wire or Gang of Four or Tangerine Dream ever inducted under these circumstances. We have a tradition of including "edgy" or "dark horse" acts. That seems to fade out quite a bit in recent years.

My suggestion would be to vote for 7 performers (as it was before). We also vote for 2 inductees in the other three categories, so why not voting for the actual number of inductees in the performers category?

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 10/11/2022 @ 21:44pm


Definitely drop the folk/country rock category.

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 10/11/2022 @ 22:45pm


I respectfully disagree with dropping the Folk/Country Rock category. I think the Folk & Country Rock music of the '70s is some of the best music ever recorded.

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 10/11/2022 @ 22:48pm


Plenty of great suggestions already. Since we are voting for 10 Nominees, I think my Write In Proposal that was voted down awhile back could still work. The person would have the option of using all 10 votes present on the artists ballot or 9 and 1 write in vote candidate. The Write In Candidate would have extremely long odds as 8 or 9 would also have to write in the artist to make it to a Tiebreaker. I also would try and change out World Music with a Second Classic Rock or other genre. I voted against the 10 votes awhile back because I liked the traditional 7. I will admit adding another 3 votes has given me more flexibility. It helped Taylor Swift although Blink-182 and Dionne Warwick came up short. Like that the Tiebreaker Loser(s) automatically is on the 2023 ballot. Foreigner is 1 this year. That probably helps most candidates. Should be another great year in 2023.

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 10/11/2022 @ 23:39pm


I like MichaelEU idea of 7 votes.

Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 10/12/2022 @ 05:44am


Please keep the world music category. I believe it is important that some of the significant artists from other parts of the world are recognized, even if their induction chances are slim.
I also think the folk/country genre should be kept.

Regarding the side performers, I would love to see at least one more inducted (for a total of three). It seems crazy to me that Larry Carlton, Steve Gadd and other phenomenal artists don't make the cut every year. These are people whose solo work would not be recognized to the level of the "performer" category, but their contributions as side/session musicians really influenced the music we love (for instance, Larry Carlton's contribution to Steely Dan records and Abraham Laboriel having played on over 4000 albums!). Adding at least another inductee every year seems right to me.

Cheers!

This may be controversial, but I thought this year's process was fantastic. No notes.

Posted by Kurtal on Wednesday, 10/12/2022 @ 09:59am


Raichu - While I may be open to increasing the number of inductees in the other three categories, I'm very much opposed to increasing the number of inductees in the Performers category because it would disrupt the consistency of the project, which has always had 7 Performer inductees. This also establishes a high bar for induction, making it that more of an accomplishment for those that cross the finish line.


MichaelEU - We can discuss reducing the number of votes from 10 back down to 7, but I really don't think that would help "edgy" or "dark horse" acts to get inducted. I think the voters will support their personal choices, so to get less populist acts inducted, we would need to either convince more of their supporters to vote or convince the voters to support them instead of the more popular performers.

Also, I've tried in the past to increase the number of votes in the other three categories and would like to put that back up for discussion (say to 3 votes) again this year.


jtrichey - We can discuss dropping the folk/country rock category, but how would we fold those artists (this years top contenders / nominees were Sheryl Crow, Taylor Swift, Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, Lucinda Williams, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Elliott Smith and Tracy Chapman) into the existing genres? Most of them would fit into a singer-songwriter category, but we don't have one, so maybe a solution would be to change this category to Singer-Songwriter/Folk/Country Rock?


KING - We are sticking with the google poll forms method of voting for nominations and the final vote. I don't think write-in votes are an option, even if the voters decided they wanted it.

The nominees from the World Music genre failed to gain induction, but they both did as well or better than nominees from several other genres (better than both Electronica and Modern Rock nominees). I'll ask you the same question I asked jtrichey. What genre should world music be folded into?

Also, if we got rid of a genre vote, I would be in favor of filling in the remaining spots on the ballot with general vote nominations rather than giving another genre a second poll. Doing it this way would also eliminate the question of how to determine which genre got to "double-dip".


Kenmil - We can discuss increasing the number of inductees in the other three categories. Our back-logs there are significant, though I can certainly understanding leaving the bar at it's current high level.


Kurtal - Thank you. I also think that the bugs have mostly been worked out and while I initially opposed allowing more than one nominee from each genre vote, I can see the benefit, particularly paired with the more efficient google polls.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 10/12/2022 @ 10:30am


Darren,
regarding KING's write-in suggestion, I think it actually can be done to a degree (if I understand what KING is saying correctly)

If you remember a while back, I made a fictional fan-vote google poll based off the most predicted artists for next year. In that poll I included a new category called "other." It was for people to basically put in an artist they wanted to be inducted in that slot, then whichever artist who was suggested through that category and had enough votes was put it. Granted that system didn't work at its full potential considering I think only like 4 or 5 people used it and there was only 1 vote per artist suggested, but given how more people vote in the projects, it could lead to more votes, more people putting an artist in this category, and someone getting in through that system. Then again this might also screw with the 7-inductee limit but who knows, maybe a new category called Fan Vote Winner could be created for it. It could be the project's equivalent of Musical Excellence.

This is just me throwing out an idea here but give it some consideration.

Posted by Raichu on Wednesday, 10/12/2022 @ 12:38pm


Also Joan Jett's link in the 2038 section is linked right. Just figured I'd say that.

Posted by Raichu on Wednesday, 10/12/2022 @ 13:02pm


I think the Write-In Vote would be very beneficial for artists who were squeezed out in Tiebreakers EX: Scorpions or some of the newer music artists. The voter would give up 1 of his or her votes with the Write-In Artist. That would give 9 to vote on the ballot. It would be astronomical odds the Write-In Artist would be inducted. They would need 7 or 8 voters to Write-In the same exact group. It would also be good information that could help the group in 2024 and beyond. Say Brooks & Dunn received 4 Write-In Votes. Gene Loves Jezebel received 3 Write-In Votes or The Church received 2 Write-In Votes. It might prompt more voters to visit their discographies. Maybe, that group gets more support and voted onto the ballot the next year. I think something could be done with Wire. They just can't earn induction. Probably have the most votes without induction. Maybe, there could be a Special Vote on Wire and their Induction. Some good points have been brought up about getting Indie artists and World Music inducted. I wonder if the Ballot could be divided into 2 groups. Select 7 from the more popular rock and pop artists and Select 3 from lesser known World music or Indie groups. It's something that could help out in having these groups inducted. Plenty of great discussion.

I just feel that folk category slate of nominees was really weak. I don't care where you put it but I would love more slots for general nominees.

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 10/12/2022 @ 22:23pm


I don't think there's any need for changes at all. Everything went smoothly this year.

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 10/13/2022 @ 08:57am


I also don't think any changes need to be made. The system went smoothly and we came up with a pretty good class. If it ain't broke...

Posted by Michael W. on Thursday, 10/13/2022 @ 13:15pm


The process was good overall. I liked getting 2 nominees at a time and not spending forever getting there. I definitely think we shorted the general nominees though, and by a significant amount.

The final class of inductees was...a class of inductees. Personally I thought it was really weak. Maybe I'm alone there. Doesn't mean we have to make big changes, I definitely preferred this method to some of the years past. I don't think the inductees were the fault of the process.


OK, OK, I'll just come out and say it. This year's class is pretty awful.

Posted by jtrichey on Thursday, 10/13/2022 @ 20:38pm


jtrichey - I don't know what to tell you about the strength of this year's class, only that they were the selections of the voters.

There aren't really that many superstars coming up in the pipeline and we don't have many glaringly massive snubs, so I feel like classes are going to be like this for a while, filled with second-tier performers and performers that the voters are passionate about.

Also, general vote winners are just performers that didn't win their genre votes, so I don't know that having more of them would necessarily lead to better results.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 10/14/2022 @ 11:53am


I prefer genre votes over general votes. They are more fun and interesting. I don't get why anyone would want more general votes.

Posted by Greg F on Friday, 10/14/2022 @ 14:34pm


Yes, the voters are responsible for the class. No debate.

More general votes I think would lead to at least a slightly better ballot. This is my opinion.

Some of the genre votes can be fun. I personally did not have fun with the folk ballot or the World ballot.

Posted by jtrichey on Friday, 10/14/2022 @ 21:52pm


Based on the suggestions, the following 2023 rule changes / genre change votes are now open


1. How many Performers inductees should there be each year?

A. 7 (current)
B. 10


2. How many Performers should voters be allowed to vote for each year?

A. 7
B. 10 (current)


3. What should be done regarding the Folk / Country Rock genre?

A. Eliminate the genre and replace the nominations with two general nominations
B. Change the name to "Folk / Country Rock / Singer-Songwriter"
C. Leave it as "Folk / Country Rock" (current)


4. Should we allow one write-in candidate to be added to the ballot in the place of a nominated Performer / Non-Performer / Influence / Sideman?

A. Yes
B. No (current)


5. Should we keep the "World Music" genre vote or replace it with two general nominations?

A. Yes, keep the "World Music" genre (current)
B. Eliminate the "World Music" genre and replace it with two general nominations.


If you feel that any rule change votes were missed, bring them up and we'll vote on them later on. The results of these votes may lead to additional rule change votes.


There will be five days of voting.

A simple majority is required to change a rule, meaning if a vote ends in a tie, the rule will not be changed.

In the case of Question #3, a plurality will suffice. In the event of a two-way tie in Question #3, there will be a run-off vote.


Voting will end at 8 PM Central on Saturday the 22nd.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 10/17/2022 @ 23:55pm


My votes:


1. How many Performers inductees should there be each year?

A. 7 (current)


From the very beginning of the project, we've had the same number of inductees each year. That consistency makes this project reliable and maintains a high standard for induction. Every inductee in the future should face the same obstacles that all other inductees have faced, therefore making the honor equal as well.


2. How many Performers should voters be allowed to vote for each year?

B. 10 (current)


I think that 10 is the right number of votes for a 30 performer ballot. Since there will be no change to the number of nominees, there shouldn't be any changes to the number of votes.


3. What should be done regarding the Folk / Country Rock genre?

B. Change the name to "Folk / Country Rock / Singer-Songwriter"


I think the best solution is adding "Singer-Songwriter" to this genre's title, as it expands and refines the scope of the genre appropriately.


4. Should we allow one write-in candidate to be added to the ballot in the place of a nominated Performer / Non-Performer / Influence / Sideman?

B. No (current)


I don't like the idea of a write-in vote being an option because I feel that it cheapens the nomination process without adding any real possibility of an artist being inducted via this method.

Every performer will have at least 4 chances to make the ballot each year if you count general votes. If you can't qualify for the ballot, you shouldn't receive votes that year.


5. Should we keep the "World Music" genre vote or replace it with two general nominations?

A. Yes, keep the "World Music" genre (current)


I feel that "World Music" is an essential genre for this process.


In summary:

1. A. 7 (current)
2. B. 10 (current)
3. B. Change the name to "Folk / Country Rock / Singer-Songwriter"
4. B. No (current)
5. A. Yes, keep the "World Music" genre (current)

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 10/18/2022 @ 00:02am


KING 2023 Rule Changes Vote.
1. A 7 (Current)
7 is the perfect number.
2. A
The 7 votes makes you think long and hard and really earns your votes. Although I like the 10 votes. Gives more freedom and flexibility. It's a tough call.
3. C (Current)
I would leave Folk/Country Rock as it is currently. Many are Singer-Songwriters in this Genre.
4. A
I like the freedom of a Write-In Candidate. Some candidates gain strength or support during the year but fall short of nomination. Don't see the downside. It would require many voters to Write-In to earn Induction. If that many voters would Write In a particular candidate, it shows that music artist or group was deserving.
5. B
I would eliminate the World Music Genre. It seems every year there are questions on what is World Music and who is eligible in this Genre. Don't see many artists being inducted from this Genre when you think about Black Crowes, Counting Crows, DIO, Foreigner, Human League, Queensryche, Scorpions, Sheryl Crow, Snoop Dogg, etc still waiting to be inducted.

Some of these proposed rule changes are quite absurd. The process is fine as it is. None of these proposed changes will make anything better so they are largely unnecessary. And just because you don't like a genre doesn't mean it should go away. To the best of my understanding, these genre votes are umbrella terms for broad genres so I don't really understand the need to eliminate any of them.

I'm sorry, but changing the Folk / Country Rock Genre to Folk / Country Rock / Singer-Songwriter "expands and refines the scope of the genre" to the point where it becomes absolutely meaningless. If Blues can be worked into this category then so can anything else where the singer is credited with writing at least a couple of their own songs. Go to the Wiki pages of the following artists:

Alicia Keys
Pink
Meghan Trainor
Justin Timberlake
Justin Beiber

They're all identified as singers and songwriters. Is this really what you wanna do, all because 1 guy who's entitled to his opinion voiced his dislike for 1 of the genres? I didn't see anybody else agree with him, and a half dozen said they disagreed.

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 10/18/2022 @ 22:07pm


I feel that there's a distinct difference between the "Singer-Songwriter" genre of music and literally any musician that writes and sings their own songs. Essentially, it's an extension of the folk style that isn't as prominent as it used to be.

As far as defining World Music, I feel like that's been done several times over the years, so I don't understand the confusion. It's generally musicians from foreign countries that perform in foreign languages and excludes performers that perform in traditional pop and rock styles that are prominent in North America and Europe. So, for example, Fela Kuti or Selena would be world music, but Midnight Oil or Men At Work wouldn't be.

Is the rule or policy still in place that they alternate the Genre and General Nominations? This year 2022 we started with the Genre Nominations first. I guess in 2023 we will start with the General Nominations. I'm liking the rules and changes over the last few years. Not much to really change. Good work!

1. How many Performers inductees should there be each year?

Yup, this is the standard number of inductees for this project and it should stay that way. It's all about quality measurement.

2. How many Performers should voters be allowed to vote for each year?
B. 10 (current)

On an average actual Rock Hall ballot, voters select up to 5 on a standard ballot of 15-19 names. That's a third of the ballot. Why shouldn't we continue to do the same.

3. What should be done regarding the Folk / Country Rock genre?
B. Change the name to "Folk / Country Rock / Singer-Songwriter"

I'm okay with this slight moderation to the genre, although parameters would need to set to ensure the nominees don't get too off-track (as joker pointed out).

4. Should we allow one write-in candidate to be added to the ballot in the place of a nominated Performer / Non-Performer / Influence / Sideman?
B. No (current)

It's not possible to do this on Google Forms and this gives Darren, who moderates this project, more work.

5. Should we keep the "World Music" genre vote or replace it with two general nominations?
A. Yes, keep the "World Music" genre (current)

I think we're forgetting that both Peter Tosh and Gloria Estefan/Miami Sound Machine were World Music nominees and got inducted in the last 2 years. So yeah, World Music has its share of winners over the years.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 10/19/2022 @ 20:30pm


joker, there were also only 5 days in which maybe half of the participants even looked at the board with the election process being over. Again, the vote will tell the tale and it is clear my suggestion is not winning. I will probably suggest the same thing next year.

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 10/19/2022 @ 20:42pm


Here are my votes for how we will proceed going forward.

1. A. Keep the Performers category at 7.
2. B. Keep the Performers category ballot to allow for 10 artists on the ballot, yet still allow for just 7 inductees.
3. B. Folk, Country Rock and Singer-Songwriters intertwine. A simple rename will suffice.
4. B. It cheapens the nomination process if a write in nominee somehow gets more votes.
5. A. Keep the World Music genre alive: this will be needed to expand the idea of who to consider.

So, it appears that I have voted to keep things relatively the same. I do think it provides a great opportunity for vetting inductees and people to be honored in the Crown Jewel of this website; and the most important step taken prior to being inducted into the RRHOF. Indeed, this process of vetting inductees has resulted in greater respect and honors for women and BIPOC inductees. This year, only 2 of the inductees are white men: Mark Goodman and Alan Hunter, two of the original MTV VJs. In addition, 10 of the total inductees are either women and/or women led groups, including 6 out of the 7 Performer inductees. This is significant progress, as I think the future of recorded music is female. In a decade's time, we will likely be including stars of today like Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lupa, Megan the Stallion, Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Haim, H.E.R, Brittany Howard, and others. I would also think numerous females already eligible like Alanis Morissette, Britney Spears, The Bangles, Dionne Warwick, Sheryl Crow, Courtney Barnett, Roberta Flack, Barbra Streisand and others might get inducted as well. And that is just English-language artists. In Japan, for example, the hard rock and new metal genres are dominating and are female led and/or totally female.

In point of fact, the last 4 Revisited/Projected Rock Hall Project inductions have had a majority of Performers inductees be female. In that time, inductees from those recent classes like Tina Turner, Carly Simon and The Gogo's have now gotten inducted into the actual RRHOF. Now I am sure in the years to come there will be some men that will get inducted, yet I still think they will fill up possibly up to 3 slots in the Performers ballot. Based on Foreigner losing the tiebreaker, there is no guarantee they would get inducted next year; and I say that as someone that voted for Foreigner. In short, I think JT Ritchey is wrong when he says this class of inductees was not good. We are just now in a time where women dominate music, and rightly so.

Congratulations to all who got inducted,

King - I don't remember if it's a rule or just a pattern, but yeah, we can do general nominations first in 2023.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 10/20/2022 @ 08:39am


Darren,
I'm sorry I never got it into a formal proposal, but In the future, I would like to propose an additional inductee (meaning 3, instead of two) for the Non-Performer, Influence, and Side Players categories to start clearing the backlog of great nominees in those areas.
(and can we change "Sidemen" to "Side Players" or "Side Musicians", just to be gender neutral?)

Here are my votes:

1. A.

2. B.

My voted for the new election polling is as follows:

1. B. Adding one more inductee to the other categories besides Performers might be beneficial.
2. A. We have been adding more women into the Side categories. A gender-neutral rename is sufficient. Furthermore, we could change the name further to something like Studio musicians or Instrumentalists.

Let me know what you think:

6. A (I really don't see some kind of giant backlog in any of these categories. We very nearly got rid of the sidemen category a few years ago because it was down to bare bones as is)

7. Don't care

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 10/25/2022 @ 20:41pm


Another term frequently used is "Session Musicians".

In response to the above comment, here is what I wrote a couple of weeks ago (it's easy for some comments to get buried on this site):
"Regarding the side performers, I would love to see at least one more inducted (for a total of three). It seems crazy to me that Larry Carlton, Steve Gadd and other phenomenal artists don't make the cut every year. These are people whose solo work would not be recognized to the level of the "performer" category, but their contributions as side/session musicians really influenced the music we love (for instance, Larry Carlton's contribution to Steely Dan records and Abraham Laboriel having played on over 4000 albums!). Adding at least another inductee every year seems right to me."
The same could be said for producers and others that fit the "non-performer" category.

Cheers, everyone!

As we've changed the number of inductees in the three non-Performer categories, we will be having a vote approx. a month before the start of the nomination process next year to determine how many votes voters will cast in the induction votes for these categories.

We could have the vote now, but I don't expect this board to have much traffic between now and next spring when we start mapping out next year's schedule.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 11/17/2022 @ 23:12pm


This may sound like a tired question at this point, but I'm gonna make it intresting by putting a spin on it: Who do you guys think will end up being part of the main nominees for this year's projected class?

Posted by Raichu on Wednesday, 02/8/2023 @ 16:46pm


Here's a quick 15 KING possibilities Raichu.
1. Scorpions
2. Sheryl Crow
3. Bruno Mars
4. Wire (Finally)
5. Bryan Adams
6. Snoop Dogg
7. Counting Crows
8. DIO
9. Adele
10. Destiny's Child
11. Foreigner
12. Phil Collins
13. Black Crowes
14. No Doubt
15. Gang Of Four
I think Sheryl Crow really benefits this year being nominated. Most probably had her nominated 2-3 years down the line. Phil Collins should make it this year. Scorpions should also earn induction. KING

Posted by KING on Wednesday, 02/8/2023 @ 20:35pm


Hi there Raichur! We will know a little more by the time nominations are done, which will be starting in early summer. We do know that Foreigner will be given an automatic nomination since they had lost the tiebreaker vote. If I were to make a guess as to who might be among the Performers nominees, some of these artists might include:

Grimes
Nicki Manaj
Sheryl Crow
Phil Collins
Dionne Warwick
Yellow Magic Orchestra
Sting
Tangerine Dream
The Human League
Drake
Miley Cyrus
Midnight Oil
Britney Spears
Slick Rick
Alan Parsons/Eric Woolfson/The Alan Parsons Project

Newly eligible include:

Lizzo
Chris Stapleton
Sturgill Simpson
Migos
Sam Smith

Among underrated acts:

Wire

And for a personal left-field pick:

The Blue Nile

Anyway, those are some artists at least I would consider for my ballot and for my nomination picks. Let me know if you or anyone else can think of other artists to consider.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Lax40

Posted by Lax40 on Wednesday, 02/8/2023 @ 21:03pm


Here's my predictions.:
Returning from last year:
Adele
Foreigner
Dionne Warwick
Modest Mouse
Phil Collins
Wire
Sheryl Crow
Blink-182
Supertramp
Hole
Snoop Dog

Not returning from last year:
Oingo Boingo
Bruno Mars
Todd Rundgren
Arctic Monkeys
The Dells
The Strokes
Lizzo
Sam Smith
My Chemical Romance
Brandi Carlile

Left field pick: The Mars Volta

Out of all of these I'd say the inductees would be:
Adele
Foreigner
Sheryl Crow
Lizzo
The Strokes
The Dells
Bruno Mars

Left field pick: The Mars Volta

Posted by Raichu on Thursday, 02/9/2023 @ 11:56am


Hey, so random question I just had:
Should artists that have already gotten in through a side category, for example Todd Rundgren in Non-Performer, be allowed to be nominated/get in a second time in Performers because of their music, or should we just say they're already in and they don't need to be a double inductee?

Posted by Raichu on Monday, 02/20/2023 @ 09:33am


We should go try to nominate them for performer if they have a case for example Todd Rundgren. If they were inducted in the influence category don't bother. I would only consider from non-performer or side musicians categories.

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 02/20/2023 @ 10:40am


As far as I know, this is possible. Brian Eno for instance is already inducted twice. There are many artists that have a chance of being inducted as performers too. I can think of Laura Nyro, Dr. John, Leon Russell, Todd Rundgren, Ry Cooder, maybe Booker T. & the MGs, The Meters, Frankie Knuckles or even The Neptunes (as N.E.R.D.).

1st 5 years nomination:

Haim

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 06/14/2023 @ 21:16pm


I figured I'd give some elevator pitches for my nominations this round -

The Weeknd - One of the biggest music stars of the last decade who has continually pushed the boundaries of popular music (e.g., pop, R&B, EDM). He has several acclaimed albums and quite a few massive hit singles ("Blinding Lights" is currently the #1 Hot 100 song of all time according to Billboard AND the most streamed song in the history of Spotify). He's an era-defining artist who should be a no-brainer selection when the poll opens.

Celia Cruz - With a decade that lasted over 6 decades, Celia Cruz was one of many artists who popularized salsa music in the U.S. She's referred to as the "Queen of Salsa." Her unapologetic pride of her Cuban heritage made her cultural icon. She came close last year and deserves another shot.

D.A. Pennebaker - Pioneering documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker used his camera to capture some of rock and roll's greatest moments. From following Bob Dylan on his now-legendary 1965 tour of the U.K. ('Don't Look Back' (1967)) to documenting the iconic Monterey Pop festival ('Monterey Pop' (1969)) to capturing Depeche Mode at their peak ('Depeche Mode 101' (1989)), Pennebaker made a significant impact on rock and roll as a visual medium. He also won an honorary Oscar in 2013 and has multiple films preserved at the Library of Congress' National Film Registry. And before I forget, Pennebaker worked with many iconic rock and roll legends including (brass yourself) Little Richard, Chuck Berry, John Lennon, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Simon & Garfunkel, The Who, The Mamas & The Papas and Jefferson Airplane. And just scratches the surface.

Lesley Duncan - Although she was originally a singer-songwriter in her native U.K. in the 1960s, Lesley Duncan suffered from crippling stage freight and didn't necessarily want to be in the spotlight. She instead became a famed backup vocalist for many A-list talents including Elton John, Scott Walker, Dusty Springfield and Donovan. She is perhaps most famous for her backup vocals on Pink Floyd's iconic album 'The Dark Side of the Moon' (1973). A very underrated figure of that era that deserves more serious consideration for induction in this project.

First Five Years - José James

As a reminder, you must register to be a voter before you are allowed to put forth nominations and vote in this project. If your name is not listed below, you must send me an email to request becoming a voter. This is done because FRL Project votes (Song, Album and Projected) have password-protected ballots. Voting doesn't start for at least another week, so there is ample time to contact me and retrieve the password. My email is rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com. Please allow at least 24 hours for me to respond.

Also for those who are new, I am Nick and I run the Song Project board here on FRL. Darren oversees the Album and Projected Projects but I oversee the voter registration for all three FRL projects. And as an FYI, you are eligible to vote in any of the three Projects listed above once you are registered.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Here is the list of registered voters -

Mat R - I received your email to register as a voter the other day and emailed you back. Can you email me back to confirm you have received it? I do this with all voters so I know they have the password and also any questions/concerns they may have.

Posted by Nick B. on Saturday, 06/17/2023 @ 20:38pm


Hey Nick

I got it sorry was at work when it came it and that inbox is crazy

Btw when is the last day to register?

Posted by Mat r on Sunday, 06/18/2023 @ 09:21am


My understanding is that voting for the Projected Project begins on Friday June 30th sometime in the evening, whenever Darren gets around to posting the link and it usually lasts approx. 4 days. Nominations for all projects are due the day before the Google Forms ballot link appears in the event we missed anyone's nominations (it happens rarely but we like to make sure just in case). That's when we have 1-day reviews and Darren oversees that on this forum (I don't; I just do the Song Project side of things).

To answer your question Mat R, there's no "deadline" to register as a voter in any of the FRL Projects. But if someone wanted to participate in this project from the very beginning of when voting occurs, I would recommend doing it ASAP. That it by sending an email to rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to inquiry about it. But anyone can join/register at any time.

As an FYI to voters on this forum, you are also eligible to vote in the Song and Album Projects when they happen each and every month. They take place in the 1st 2 weeks of each month. Here are the links to them if you are interested:

Question.
Would Crossover groups like BTS belong in World music as well as pop? Just thinking of options at the moment. ( I have another possible nominee in mind for that category.

Posted by ntndeacon on Monday, 07/3/2023 @ 16:44pm


Mat r - I'll delete your first vote.

ntndeacon - I think that KPop artists would qualify as world music. What artist / genre are you considering for that genre?

Posted by Darren on Monday, 07/3/2023 @ 17:29pm


Well, the last few years, I've been trying to get Ladysmith Black Mambazo in for the World music genre.

Posted by ntndeacon on Monday, 07/3/2023 @ 19:52pm

Are the first nation artists performing in their Native languages? Are they performing in genres outside of the traditional pop / rock spectrum? If you're talking about pop performers or rock artists or hip hop performers who are performing in English, but happen to be Native Americans, then they probably wouldn't qualify.

In case others are not aware of this, there is a shared Google Sheets document created last summer called "FRL Project Snubs."

There are 3 tabs -
1. Song Project Snubs
2. Album Project Snubs
3. Projected Projected Snubs (each of the 4 categories voted on in the Projected Project are listed in that tab)

I just updated the entire document including alphabetizing the lists, updating the color schemes, deleting unused columns and adding more rows.

I decided that these are the maximum number of spaces in each tab -

10,000 for Song Project Snubs
5,000 for Album Project Snubs
1,000 for Projected Project Snubs (for each of the 4 categories in Projected Project)

I think capping the number of items in each of the Projects on the sheet is fair and allows for enough representation to be on display.

If Songs, Albums and Projected Projected Inductees are inducted, they can be removed from the list. I will mark on my calendar to update this document more frequently, likely on the first of each month going forward.

Here is the document - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12lguJiFBnFYZRj7fuErnhypw6YqFWRgJAV3N5xT9j8I/edit?usp=sharing

So, my non-performer nominee is:
Gilles Peterson

Performer: Sweet

Three years ago they lost the final tiebreaker for the induction. Since then they haven't come close. Maybe it's time for a revival.

Posted by joker on Tuesday, 07/4/2023 @ 10:40am


I'd like to discuss some of the nominations before the next round starts.

After reviewing all of the nominated people, there are two nominees who I feel are pretty misplaced in their respective categories.

First, Jackie DeShannon as influence. Neither do I see her fitting in any of the roots genres, which is the core of this category, nor do I see her as influential trailblazer of genres emerging out of Rock'n'Roll (like Hip Hop or Electronica). She's fully Pop and Rock. Last year, she was nominated as Non-Performer, what could be based on her songwriting credits (Laura Nyro Style). For me, she's clearly a performer.

Second, Buffy Sainte-Marie as side performer. I could not find any reason for her to getting in as a side performer. Maybe as songwriter (N-P) or Influence (Joan Baez Style), but definitely not as side act. In my opinion, she would make an awesome performer inductee (actually, she could and should have been inducted long ago).

Is there something I miss? I mean, Buffy Sainte-Marie received just one vote shy of the finish line.


Well, here are my new nominees:

Classic Rock/Metal: Death

Please replace my sidemen nomination from Hank Garland to Colin Stetson.

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 07/4/2023 @ 11:27am


MichaelEu

Re Buffy I'll explain her in the sideman category as I nominated her

If you look at her career she's kind of a wild card. She has her career as an artist, career as a songwriter, a career as a guest (she's a frequent feature on songs or at festivals - often rarely given her own set outside of indigenous festivals and smaller folk ones), and a career in the background as a backing vocalist or in the band (she did this a lot in the 60s and 70s). She kind of fits that Martha Wash role in that she was a star but she primarily spent her career forced into the background and as a result she's little chance of performer induction, would also say her influence might be too niche or too recent for influence, and that due to the amount and importance of work she did outside of songwriting np feels off. Sideman ultimately makes the most sense for her

Posted by Mat r on Tuesday, 07/4/2023 @ 11:52am


Thanks for the information Mat, but I disagree on that point. I like to compare her to Joan Baez, pure Folk, so influence is a possibility. Of course, it's your choice, so it's alright.

She seems like a perfect candidate for a Musical Excellence RH induction, btw.

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 07/4/2023 @ 12:39pm


MichaelEU

But that's the thing her influence isn't from folk it's from indigenous music. She's not seen as one of the big follies (like Joan Baez) she's seen as like the woman who introduced indigenous elements to popular music (more so than link ray or Robbie Robertson) and sadly that's not a super big pool. That's why I'm saying she might be too niche for votes as an influence.

But again she is very tricky.

Posted by Mat R on Tuesday, 07/4/2023 @ 13:22pm


Jackie DeShannon started out very young in 1955 and has been going strong for nearly 70 years. I think she counts as an influence as plenty of music artists had hits with her songs she created as a songwriter. She also had several artists cover her songs. I'm keeping her as an Influence. Some of the artists I've seen over the years could be Performers or Side Artists. It's very difficult to advance in these projects as many nominate quality performers and non-performers. I had Barbara Mandrell last year as an Influence. KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 07/4/2023 @ 19:06pm


I am hoping this artist fits the Classic Rock classification at least. If so, my nomination for the Classic Rock/Metal category will go to:

Phil Collins

Is the part about the polls being on the 30th a typo by any chance (seeing as how it's only the 7th)

Posted by Raichu on Friday, 07/7/2023 @ 13:01pm


It was likely that Darren copied and pasted last week's prompt and forgot to change the date (to the 7th). We use templates for these projects so it's something as simple as that. It happens.

Posted by Nick B. on Friday, 07/7/2023 @ 13:14pm


Yes, that's the case.

Since we're on a set schedule for the project (for the most part), nominations will close and tiebreaker results will be posted at 8 PM Central on Thursdays, polls will be posted 8 PM Central on Fridays (next week will be earlier in the afternoon, as I'm going on a trip next weekend) and polls (not counting tiebreakers) will close at 8 PM Central on Mondays, with results posted later that evening.

Performer nominee: Gary Numan / Tubeway Army

I will keep the most deserving bassist, Abraham Laboriel, Sr., for my side performer nominee, noting that he has played on over 4000 albums from a variety of genre's over the years. He is the ultimate side performer, in my mind.

We shall see what happens with the Influence tie-breaker.

For the Non-Performer nominee, since there wasn't much love for Gilles Peterson, I will go back to nominating Roger Dean, who I think is one of the most important and iconic album art creators in rock. Just look at this list of the album covers he has done:

Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers

Same nomination as every year, highly recommended.

Changing my sideman nomination again (it's a trial and error thing this year):
Please replace Colin Stetson with Reggie Young.

Changing my Non-performer nomination too:

If The Last Poets make it in on the tie-breaker, then I'll nominate Ennio Morricone for that category. Obviously, if they don't squeak in, then they'll stay on as my noninee.

I'm gonna change my Performers nomination from Simple Minds to Sinéad O'Connor.

She's often overlooked in this project and a glaring one at that. I love Simple Minds but O'Connor is the bigger priority.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 07/12/2023 @ 22:24pm


Totally flaked out and missed the last vote. Grrrr....

Classic Alternative/Punk nominee:

And I second Nick B.'s post on Sinead. Long overdue.

Modern Rock nomination: Arctic Monkeys

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 07/18/2023 @ 07:06am


Modern Rock nominee: Switchfoot

Non-performer replacement nominee: Creed Taylor*

Influence nominee: Haruomi Hosono**

*Creed Taylor was a giant in jazz production. He worked for a number of important record labels, such as Bethlehem and Verve, but specifically founded both Impulse! and, later, CTI records, which became mainstay jazz labels with high production values, for which he signed many future jazz stars, for example, John Coltrane for Impulse and George Benson for CTI (among many, many others). The list of musicians he worked with during his lifetime is like a "who's who" of jazz music. While working at Verve records, he singlehandedly introduced Brazilian music, and specifically Bossa Nova to the American audience with recordings such as "The Girl from Ipanema" by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz. He also emphasized high quality album artwork, especially producing stunning gate-fold album covers and hiring professional photographers. The CTI album covers, especially, are iconic and instantly recognizable. He changed how jazz music was presented, produced, and, with the musicians he signed and produced as well as introduction of Bossa Nova, changed jazz music, as well.

**Haruomi Hosono is best known as a member of Yellow Magic Orchestra, which he formed after inviting Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi to play on his solo album, Paraiso. However, before that, he was a member of two extremely influential Japanese bands, Apryl Fool, a psychedelic rock band in the 60's, and Happy End, a folk-rock band in the early 70's. He was the one who introduced game music on YMO's first album, and, after YMO disbanded, released an album of game music in 1984, which is considered the first video game music album. He produced many albums of up and coming musicians, and also produced music for a Hayao Miyazaki anime film. Hosono's influence on Japanese music, techno music, game music, etc. is profound.

Cheers!

I nominate Frank Ocean

Y'all keep failing the guy who recorded the best album of the 2010s. Like seriously.

Posted by Mat R on Tuesday, 08/1/2023 @ 00:09am


Performer - Blood Orange

Posted by Elle Dee on Tuesday, 08/1/2023 @ 00:20am

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 08/1/2023 @ 05:58am


My nominee is Rick James

This is one of my favorite genres so I took the liberty to list some highly recommended artists to consider (and plenty others who are worthy I didn't list). The field is quite deep.

Aaliyah
Alicia Keys
Anita Baker
Average White Band
Ben E. King
Boyz II Men
Chaka Khan
D'Angelo
Destiny's Child
Dionne Warwick
Donny Hathaway
Erykah Badu
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes
Joe Tex
Lionel Richie
Lou Rawls
Maxwell
Ohio Players
Patti LaBelle
Roberta Flack
Teddy Pendergrass
The Delfonics
The Dells
Toni Braxton

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 08/1/2023 @ 07:17am


This is such a broad category (too broad, in my estimation) that encompasses soul, funk, disco, gospel, and blues, among others, that it is really hard to choose. I love funk, so my inclination would be to nominate one of the deep funk artists like Brothers Johnson, Pleasure or Graham Central Station, but, I have decided this year to nominate one of the most important artists from a completely underrepresented genre, Gospel, who is commonly called the "Father of Modern Gospel", and influenced so many contemporary urban Gospel artists, like Kirk Franklin and Fred Hammond.

My performer nomination: Andraé Crouch & The Disciples

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Tuesday, 08/1/2023 @ 08:07am

To anyone who is confused, after the tiebreakers have concluded, 2023 nominations for the Non-Performers, Influences and Side Musicians ballots will be closed, as the ballots are completely full with 10 nominees each.

Elle Dee - I'm confused about why you continue nominating Performers. As far as I know, your nominee this round is Blood Orange and the other Performers that you've listed aren't nominated as everyone only gets one nomination.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 08/3/2023 @ 14:33pm

Sorry, I didn't know I can only do one nomination. I was throwing nomination suggestions in the R&B category. Yeah, Blood Orange is my nomination in the R&B category, but I also threw in other names for nomination. My bad.

Posted by Elle Dee on Thursday, 08/3/2023 @ 14:52pm


Elle Dee - Ok. Offering nomination suggestions is always a great idea, just so long as we're on the same page about who the official nominee is.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 08/15/2023 @ 06:44am


Raichu-

I agree. last year's inductee class for this project saw several artists that had been nominated over and over again (TLC, Queen Latifah and Joan Jett come to mind). With them now in that helped to clear the logjam in certain genres and get some fresh blood in the nominee pool. Really excited to see how the rest of the nominations shake out.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 08/15/2023 @ 13:32pm


Raichu - I don't have all of the nomination records for this entire project, but I have been tracking it for years, so if you let me know who you want to look up (within reason, I don't have unlimited free time), I can let you know if they've been on the annual ballot before.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 08/15/2023 @ 13:48pm


Nominee: Da Brat

Posted by Kurtal on Tuesday, 08/15/2023 @ 14:27pm


Darren-
Do you have the info on something like a Google Sheet?

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 08/15/2023 @ 14:48pm


Raichu, maybe I can help. I love doing statistics.

I have the data for the last 5 classes since the nomination process started. There's a little chance I could be wrong as I started writing it down the second year and had to recreate the first year by memory. If my notes are right, this are the numbers.

5 nominations: Wire, Muse, Dionne Warwick, Phil Collins
4 nominations: Alanis Morissette
3 nominations: Adele, Gang of Four, No Doubt, Cliff Richard & the Shadows
2 nominations: Modest Mouse, Snoop Dogg, Scorpions, Chubby Checker, Janelle Monae, Liz Phair, Moby
1 nomination: Tangerine Dream, Supertramp, Selena, Lorde, Hole, Gary Numan, Fiona Apple, Midnight Oil, Linkin Park, John Prine, Boston, The Cranberries, Bad Religion, Squeeze, Portishead, Herman's Hermits, Dio, Sting

The current nominees look like this:
4th nomination: Foreigner
3rd nomination: St. Vincent, Sheryl Crow, Ministry, Sweet
2nd nomination: Blink-182, The Strokes, The Weeknd, The Human League
1st nomination: Alicia Keys, Bruno Mars, Lucinda Williams, Patti Labelle, Stevie Nicks, Sinéad O'Connor

This would be the number of nominations needed for induction:
on 5th try: Cyndi Lauper, The Moonglows
on 4th try: Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, TLC, Carly Simon, Echo & the Bunnymen, Pet Shop Boys
on 3rd try: Taylor Swift, Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine, Salt-N-Pepa, Peter Tosh, Tears for Fears, Lady Gaga, Anthrax
on 2nd try: Queen Latifah, The Pointer Sisters, Diana Ross, Cher, The Shangri-Las, Tina Turner, Blue Oyster Cult, Rufus & Chaka Khan, Sleater-Kinney, The Damned
on 1st try: Sade, The Go-Go's, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Aphex Twin, Billy Idol, Kool & the Gang, Mary J. Blige, Nas, The Killers, The Sonics

Michael EU-

Kudos for compiling the nomination/induction info. Really fascinating to see what acts have been nominated the most frequently.

Raichu-

This nominating process has only been going on for the last few classes. If been voting in this project since 2013 and we used to have no nominating process and just post ballots of whatever 7 artists we wanted to see in. Thinking back on it makes my head hurt in how chaotic it was. We've been tweaking it over the last few years to streamline the process and make the voting results not as cluttered. If you dig back far enough though it's wild to see some of the acts that got votes that haven't come close to a nomination

Lol at ice t and Boogie down over Lauryn Hill

Imma try and salvage this by saying please put Lauryn up for pop over Scott for me cause she's the most important artist who has come up so fan and y'all did her a big dirty

Posted by MAt r on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 13:05pm


mat r

Boogie Down's By All Means Necessary and Ice-T's The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech and O.G. are classic albums much like Lauryn's Miseducation of…. is a classic album. Those albums helped shape hip-hop's ever growing evolution in pop culture.

I love Lauryn and the miseducation of…. album. That album is a classic. But if I were a voter and Lauryn and Ice-T or Lauryn and Boogie Down were on the same ballot, I would vote for either Boogie Down or Ice-T over Lauryn. My reason is because they need to get in before Lauryn, the Fugees, Wu-Tang Clan, etc. Hell, I would vote for Kid n Play over Lauryn if they're on the same ballot because the old heads need to get in first.

Posted by Elle Dee on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 14:06pm


Elle dee

Sure but Lauryn is the template for american music today. We got Bruno Mars, st Vincent, and the weeknd on the ballot right now and none of them exist without Lauryn Hill. You can remove either ice t or Boogie down productions from music history and you'd probably end up with the same world that can't be said of Lauryn Hill. Christ there is literally no Kayne West without Lauryn Hill, think about how different music would be.

Posted by Mat r on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 15:26pm


Nick b

Ice t and BDP deserve recognition but Lauryn was done really really dirty hence why I wanna pitch her for pop now as a chance to correct

Posted by Mat R on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 15:29pm


Mat R - The Pop Performers ballot is closed. I'll be posting the official poll shortly. There will be three general votes after the final genre vote next week (World Music) and Lauryn Hill be eligible for nomination on all three ballots, with 9 nomination spots available for her to potentially be elected to.

Among the factors why artists such as BDP and Ice-T might be selected over Hill are that they were around long before Hill entered the scene and Hill's lack of prolific output over her career. When you a limited musical output, it's often difficult to "jump the line" ahead of your "elders" within the genre.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 15:39pm


darren, mat r

The thing with Lauryn Hill is that "The Miseducation of…." is her only album. Yes, it's a classic, but Boogie Down, Ice-T, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Salt n Pepa, etc. have more an advantage than Lauryn because she's not a prolific artist. They released more albums than her that are equally important in the hip-hop canon.

I once made a prediction that if Lauryn gets nominated in the rock hall, it would be a twofer as The Fugees/Lauryn Hill because Lauryn is the most successful in the group and her success as a solo artist is just an extension of the success and attention she achieved with the Fugees.

Posted by Elle Dee on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 16:39pm


Darren

I know but you are in review which is why I'm requesting the change. If denied so be it Imma try

Also Elle and Darren

I know they came first and that missy has 2 albums (we count the live one) but the importance of those records exceeds the output of everyone else combined. Are we gonna sit here and act like Nirvana should go after pixies and sonic youth or that green day have to wait for minutemen and Descendents? God no cause that's dumb. I'm also not protesting the result but I'm calling it bad

Posted by Mat R on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 17:16pm


Nomination changes have to be made prior to the deadline, or at least to when the nominees are posted, so I can't change your nomination this time.

I don't know what it would mean if you were protesting the results, since it's a vote with clear results that are final upon the closing of the poll.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 17:49pm


Darren

Protest because people are acting like I want the result changed which I don't I just want to point out it's bad when the artist behind of of maybe the 3 or 4 most important records of the last 40 years and considered to have recorded the greatest work in a genre's history gets pushed because old boys go first

And whatever I don't get why you'd have a review period if a change request made right after isn't allowed but meh

Posted by Mat R on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 18:09pm


I don't comment a ton on these forums but this is ridiculous.

Get a grip Mat R. You're acting like a know it all who thinks he is smarter than the rest of us. Yes they made the ballot and deserve to there. Lauryn Hill is very talented and deserves a spot at some point but you are going about this the wrong way.

You can't change your nominations Willy Nilly because you're bent out of shape and not satisfied with the last round's results. There are times in the Song Project I nominate something that is already inducted and don't have a chance to nominate something else. That's my bad and I learned better for next time. I don't take it out on the admins for the rules and processed enforced in their projects. Darren and Nick B. don't get enough credit for how wonderful they run these projects and it's shocking how smooth and easy it all is.

Posted by Dave on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 18:48pm


Dave

How am I bent out of shape? I disagreed with a result and called it bad (cause it is - I don't think criticising something is getting bent out of shape in fact it's normal discourse) and requested if I could change my pop nominee during the time of review, in the early stages no less. It's not like we're voting already. I also accepted the denial of said change.

What I do think it getting bent out of shape is getting all defensive of the result like it's a sin to do so.

Posted by Darren on Saturday, 08/26/2023 @ 01:05am


I just want to say the disrespect to Lauryn Hill is crazy. Yes she has a short discography but so does Biggie and Sex Pistols. Hell Joy division was just nominated, but I guess the rules change when a women comes into play. Her impact is undeniable. She changed hip hop, R&B and pop. Not many musicians can say they've had a huge impact on three genres. She broke countless commercial records and Grammy records. She's been sampled by Cardi B, Lizzo, Kanye and Jay-Z. Lil Wayne, Nicki and Nas have all credited her as an inspiration. And that's just hip hop. Do you know Amy Winehouse got discovered because her former manager was looking for a Lauryn hill-like artist (his own words). The neo soul craze we saw in early 2000s R&B (think Macy Gray, India Arie, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott) that doesn't exist without Lauryn. Doja Cat and Drake singing and rapping on their songs doesn't exist without her.
Then you have pop artist who have released more vulnerable projects because of the Miseducation. Adele credits both Lauryn and the Spice Girls as inspirations on her career. Both were huge around the time she was a child, but which one do you think had a bigger impact on albums like 21 or 25… This doesn't even take into consideration that she has a live album (with original material that has been sampled by artists like Kanye and Frank Ocean) or her work with the Fugees. She was the face of the Fugees. Without them the R&B/reggae blending that happened in the late 90s/early 00s doesn't happen (Rihanna, Shaggy, Beyoncé on baby boy). She also has impacted artists with her acting. Janelle Monáe and Jennifer Hudson have both said that seeing her in Sister Act 2 inspired them to pursue music.


This is a long rant but I really hate when deserving acts especially Women get discredited and undervalued. If you're gonna have a problem with someone like Lauryn getting in with a short discography then have a problem with the men who haven't had half the impact she's had on music already being in the hall.

Posted by N P on Sunday, 08/27/2023 @ 21:53pm


No one has "disrespected" Lauryn Hill. She has been given the exact same opportunities to make it onto the ballot as any other eligible artist and hasn't qualified for the ballot yet due to losing a vote that came down to a tiebreaker. This means that a lot of people voted for her against a lot of competition, but she fell just short of getting enough support as of yet.

If anything, the contributions of her competition have been discounted and overlooked in an effort to turn a lost election into an unnecessary outrage.

There are three more opportunities for her to make the ballot this year. I would suggest that you register with Nick through they project's required process and use your vote to nominate and / or vote for her when those opportunities arise, as that's the process that is required to be nominated for an inducted into this project and it's the same process that's applied to everyone else.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 00:30am


Haven't we inducted Ms. Hill as part of The Fugees?

Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 05:35am


Darren

no she was done dirty (looking at past results, she was handled differently than nirvana was) and the outrage was more cause people were annoyed and aggressively defensive someone (me) was critical of the result.

there were two paths: one where i'm critical and you just say nah to a change on the pop ballot and one where i am critical and people decide to take arms.

also no she has not gotten in with fugees

Posted by Mat R on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 08:31am


We haven't inducted The Fugees? Jeezus, if so.

Just checked and we have not inducted them. Have inducted Fugazi. In Rock Hall Revisited, we inducted The Fugees into the 2020 class.

Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 13:39pm


How was Lauryn Hill "done dirty" based on the results of last round's tiebreaker? You claim others are "annoyed and aggressively defensive" but I think you need to look in the mirror and realize this is exactly what you are doing. You don't like the results, we all get it, but this is a democratic vote and Lauryn Hill clearly had a lot of support last round. "Done Dirty" would be like someone trying to manipulate the results before the vote closes or tossing a ballot and not counting it. That is doing someone "dirty." With your logic, then Roberta Flack, Little Feat, Scorpions, Supertramp, Dio, Drake, Lorde and Frank Ocean were "done dirty" because they lost tiebreaker votes. This is definitely not the case. You just don't like the results and are just complaining to complain. It's fake outrage, as Darren put it, that boils down to a whole lotta nothing.

As Darren explained, very clearly, there are THREE general rounds later on and this is when you can nominate Lauryn Hill if you choose to do so. You need to accept it and move on.

Posted by Rhiannon JM on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 13:54pm


Rhiannon

Done dirty means you screwed her over and I would say making the person behind the album often seen acme of hip-hop because you've decided to follow an arbitrary order of things for her but not other similar artists (eg nirvana) is kinda dumb especially when those who benefit from said order are widely seen as not as vital to the genre at hand (which is true of the 3 in the tiebreaker - her losing that is similar to again nirvana losing to swans and faith no more, it makes little sense).

Also I already did accept it like 4 days ago.

Posted by Mat R on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 14:59pm


You always have to get the last word, don't you?

You are exhausting.

Oh, and thank you for the all mansplaining above.

Posted by Rhiannon JM on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 15:34pm


Rhiannon

I'm not a man and don't worry I'm with the this site.

Y'all can't take criticism of a single vote without digging in. This is not fun

Posted by Mat R on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 15:48pm


I participate in this project for 7 years now. I can't remember if there ever was so much pointless discussion like this year. Lauryn Hill is an icon and she deserves a spot in our hall better sooner than later. She was my nominee, so I'm not happy with the outcome of the voting.

BUT: to claim that she has been treated disrespectfully or „done dirty" is downright BS. It was a regular voting and she received the most points, tied with two other acts. She lost the tiebreaker to two similar deserving, pioneering acts. BDP and Ice-T are not Vanilla Ice or so. It's easy to say without Lauryn Hill there wouldn't be The Weeknd or Bruno Mars (St. Vincent? I don't think so), but in the same way you can say without BDP and Ice-T there wouldn't be Lauryn Hill and The Weeknd and so on. I generally think it's not that easy at all. „There's no xxx without xxx" is always wrong. There's always more than just one influence for most artists. I mean Lauryn Hill is essential for NeoSoul, but so are Erykah Badu or D'Angelo, who predate her by a year or so.

To say female artists in general are treated disrespectfully can easily be refuted with a look at the latest induction classes. Last year: six female or female lead acts, one male group. The years before always female majorities.

Criticizing the outcome of a democratic voting is needless. Of course there have been voting results I personally disagreed with. But that's life.

And I don't get the Nirvana statement.

Sorry for that, I felt I have to write something about some mind-boggling wrong statements. All the projects run so smoothly and I'd like to keep it this way.

Posted by MichaelEU on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 15:49pm


Michael EU

Literally every reason people have claimed they didn't vote Lauryn can be applied to Nirvana. Short discography and came after others.

And no one has said she lost unfairly, just that she got a hit with standards nirvana didn't get hit with.

Also st Vincent pretty openly influenced by neo soul and has talked about her love Lauryn hill. And yea people come first doesn't mean they have the impact

And yea you can and should criticize a vote of the result is dumb.

Anyways bye please block me from this site cause it's not fun for a myriad of reasons

Posted by Mat R on Monday, 08/28/2023 @ 16:17pm


Nirvana had more than one album.

And I *absolutely* think that Lauryn Hill should be in the hall. But it's time to get in your Whambulance and move along.

Nominations are now open for this week's Genre Re-visited / Projected Ballot Qualification Vote.

The following artists have already been nominated for the 2023 ballot, either by automatically being nominated as a result of the 2022 vote or by winning a genre vote this year, and don't need to be nominated for this qualifying genre vote:

Adele
Alicia Keys
blink-182
Bruno Mars
Foreigner
Lionel Richie
Lucinda Williams
Ministry
Patti LaBelle
Shakira
Sheryl Crow
Sinéad O'Connor
St. Vincent
Stevie Nicks
Sweet
The Human League
The Strokes
The Weeknd


Since the World Music genre ballot is currently engaged in a tiebreaker, we'll add the tiebreaker loser (either Enya or Selena) to the first general vote ballot, though they will need to be nominated for the second or third general vote ballot if they aren't nominated as a result of the first ballot.


This is the first general vote for the 2023 ballot, so any performer is eligible for nomination, provided that they haven't been previously inducted or qualified for this ballot and they meet the "10 years since their first recording" requirement.

Any voter that's interested in participating can nominate one eligible Performer.

There will be three days of nominations and four days of voting.

Nominations will close at 8 PM Central on Thursday.

I will be posting an updated list of nominees on Thursday. If you see any nominees missing, please let me know ASAP.

The link to the poll will be posted at approximately 8 PM Central on Friday.

Roberta Flack

My elevator pitch for her -

The Queen of Quiet Storm, Roberta Flack is a glaring omission from our project. She had multiple number one hits during one of the most competitive time periods in the rock and roll era. She was the first artist to win the Grammy for Records of the Year in two consecutive years (the other two are U2 and Billie Eilish). Commercial success aside, Flack proved to be one of the influential figures in R&B and pop music. She was never liked by the major critics in her heyday (Robert Christagu was perhaps the most notorious) but her stature has grown tremulously over time. Part of the problem for many critics was that Flack was incredibly difficult to categorize. Is she R&B. pop, jazz, blues or easy listening? The answer doesn't matter as Flack refused to be shoehorned to the conventions of any genre and took her talents wherever it decided to go. As more contemporary artists in the 21st century subvert genre expectations, Flack can be seen as a trendsetter in that regard. She was also a fiercely politically and socially-conscious artist who wasn't afraid to tackle controversial issues in her music. Her music often centers on themes of economic inequity, the struggles of the American black experience and activism. She doesn't get nearly enough credit in that regard.

She was one of the innovators of the Quiet Storm subgenre, which proved so important in the development of R&B. Neo-Soul
It's sorta hard to get to the Neo-Soul giants (e.g., Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, Lauryn Hill, Maxwell) without Roberta getting in first. Heck, we inducted Sade last year and so much of that band's success can be attributed to the trailblazing efforts made by Roberta Flack. I'm never one to say "someone has to get in for another to be in" but Flack's omission seems downright bizarre to me.

There's so much more I can say about Roberta Flack but I think she is a divinely talented artist who deserves more of our time and attention. She made music that has stood the test of time and forever impacted popular music. I hope you all consider her when voting later in the week.

While I continue to support Modest Mouse, it doesn't appear as though they're going to break through and make it to the ballot this year, so I'm changing my nomination to an artist that may have a better chance.

My nominee for the last general vote is Linkin Park.

Ozma-

No idea. I've noticed that every year though we induct someone into the project that is already in the in the Rock Hall (Joan Jewtt & The Blackhearts, The Moonglows, and Elizabeth Cotten were last year) so their time will come.

I think it's easy to understand why older bands struggle versus newer artists.

Most of our voters didn't grow up listening to The Dells or Small Faces and don't have the personal relationships with their music that the Rock Hall voters who elected them to.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 09/26/2023 @ 15:48pm


Looks like whoever it is we are going to be getting a good class.

Posted by 0pac big on Tuesday, 09/26/2023 @ 17:32pm


It might be possible that not everyone in the Cleveland Hall is deemed worthy by our group. If we are just copying the Cleveland Hall, what's the point?

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 09/26/2023 @ 20:41pm


Agree with jtrichey. The FRL Regular voting group and new voters usually have a good pulse on things. Singers and groups have to earn both nomination and induction. Some have already been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame while others in the RRHOF...They haven't been inducted in the Project here. I like that it isn't just a copycat of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Very good discussion topic. KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 09/26/2023 @ 23:05pm


I agree with had been said as well. We probably inducted the most worthy acts that are the real Rock Hall.

I still think there is a case to be made for some of the Hall acts that aren't in the project and they might get their due here (several nominated this year that have worthy cases) but I do concede that there are some acts that might be less than worthy (don't see anyone banging the gong for Percy Sledge or Alan Grubman anytime soon). I for one really like this batch of nominees this year. There are several acts that have been nominated a bunch that didn't make it this year (Muse and Modest Mouse come to mind) so it feels fresh compared to last year

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 09/27/2023 @ 14:33pm


Hi, folks! At this time, I'd like to make my "sales pitch," if you will, for one of the nominees in the Performers category for induction into the Class of 2023. This nominee I'm supporting is one of the greatest singers of all time. And this nominee is... Roberta Flack.

Roberta Flack has been one of my favorite singers since I was young. I can still remember the first time I heard her original version of Killing Me Softly with His Song. Roberta's voice was powerful and confident while also being elegant, smooth and graceful at the same time. And she successfully blended R&B/soul with jazz and even folk, something that no singer had ever truly done before. Whether it was as a solo artist, or with her numerous duets with fellow great singers, like Donny Hathaway and Peabo Bryson, listening to a Roberta Flack song is a wonderful experience. I think she's a deserving candidate to be a member of the Rock Hall Re-Visited / Projected Class of 2023.

I hope my fellow FRL voters will join me in voting for Roberta Flack, and that she gets well-earned recognition for having a great singing career.

Posted by Johnny on Wednesday, 09/27/2023 @ 21:47pm


This is probably my short-list for my votes this year:

Adele
Alanis Morissette
Fiona Apple
Foreigner
Ice-T
No Doubt
Patti LaBelle
Phil Collins
Roberta Flack
Sheryl Crow
Sinéad O'Connor
St. Vincent
Sweet
The Strokes
The Weeknd
Wire


Of these, I would say that only Sweet and The Strokes are guaranteed votes, with the rest TBD.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 09/27/2023 @ 22:47pm


I wrote this a few weeks back on Roberta Flack -

Roberta Flack is a glaring omission from our project. She had multiple number one hits during one of the most competitive time periods in the rock and roll era. She was the first artist to win the Grammy for Records of the Year in two consecutive years (the other two are U2 and Billie Eilish). Commercial success aside, Flack proved to be one of the influential figures in R&B and pop music. She was never liked by the major critics in her heyday (Robert Christagu was perhaps the most notorious) but her stature has grown tremulously over time. Part of the problem for many critics was that Flack was incredibly difficult to categorize. Is she R&B. pop, jazz, blues or easy listening? The answer doesn't matter as Flack refused to be shoehorned to the conventions of any genre and took her talents wherever it decided to go. As more contemporary artists in the 21st century subvert genre expectations, Flack can be seen as a trendsetter in that regard. She was also a fiercely politically and socially-conscious artist who wasn't afraid to tackle controversial issues in her music. Her music often centers on themes of economic inequity, the struggles of the American black experience and activism. She doesn't get nearly enough credit in that regard.

She was one of the innovators of the Quiet Storm subgenre, which proved so important in the development of R&B, most notably Neo-Soul. It's sorta hard to get to the Neo-Soul giants (e.g., Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, Lauryn Hill, Maxwell) without Roberta getting in first. Heck, we inducted Sade last year and so much of that band's success can be attributed to the trailblazing efforts made by Roberta Flack. I'm never one to say "someone has to get in for another to be in" but Flack's omission seems downright bizarre to me.

There's so much more I can say about Roberta Flack but I think she is a divinely talented artist who deserves more of our time and attention. She made music that has stood the test of time and forever impacted popular music. I hope you all consider her when voting later in the week.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 09/27/2023 @ 23:18pm


I think there is a great case for the rock group Foreigner to be inducted this year. Foreigner has 14 Top 20 Hits and a #1 Album in 4. Lou Gramm is 1 of the most respected vocalists of the era. His powerful vocals helped Foreigner to be 1 of the most popular groups of the late 1970's and 1980's. Foreigner also pumped out 5 straight multi-platinum albums in the late 1970's to the mid 1980's. When you take Foreigner's peak years 1977-1987 and compare it to other rock groups 1977-1987 already inducted here, Journey, The Cars, Talking Heads, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, etc. Foreigner holds its own in hit records, Top 40 Hits, and platinum albums. Foreigner also has a few signature songs Classic songs that last today. Cold As Ice, Hot Blooded, I Want To Know What Love Is, Urgent, etc. I believe Foreigner is very deserving of 12+ votes which will be necessary to earn induction this year.
KING

4 noms: Adele, Foreigner, No Doubt
3 noms: Ministry, Sheryl Crow, St. Vincent, Sweet
2 noms: Blink-182, Fiona Apple, Selena, The Human League, The Strokes, The Weeknd

Posted by MichaelEU on Thursday, 09/28/2023 @ 10:51am


Okay, here we go.

First of all, this year's ballot is interesting. Almost half of the ballot are first time nominees, I think that's a good thing. I was surprised to see some nominees on the final ballot (Boogie Down Productions, Lucinda Williams to name the two most unexpected). Variety is good.

Last year I wrote about St. Vincent and Sheryl Crow. Both returned this year and they will get my support. Kinda funny, when I wrote about Sheryl Crow last year, I felt she wasn't appreciated enough. Now, one year later, she's a hall of famer. That's cool.

My top priority this year is Amy Winehouse.

When I think about the concept of a hall of fame (not only a RnR-HoF, but any hall of fame), my first thought is: who should be in there? The pioneers, the game changers, the megastars, the high quality craftsmen. Sure, but there's one category that spices it up. The icons. Amy Winehouse is an icon.

I'll take it to the personal level, I think that's the easiest way for me to write about her. In a short career that lasted only 7 years, she managed to create something special. I don't remember exactly hearing her for the first time. What I know is that a song was played on my favorite radio station, it was either F*** Me Pumps or Stronger Than Me, I don't remember which one came out first. Doesn't matter, but I knew that I want more of it.

Then 2006 - Back to Black. For me, this is one of the best, perhaps THE best album of the 2000's, probably in my Top 10 albums of all time. The title track Back to Black, Love is a Losing Game, Tears Dry on Their Own, You Know I'm No Good are all incredible songs. But above all the others, there's Rehab. To this day, I can't hear it without a shiver down my spine. Her collaboration with Mark Ronson is nothing short of genius. Valerie, a cover of an already fabulous song by The Zutons, is everything one can expect from a cover song. It took the (once again very good) original and created another style and another vibe and raised it up to perfection (a hint for Mark Ronson on the NP ballot).

In her final years she kinda burnt out, but even in these dark times, there was one highlight: the collaboration with Tony Bennett on Body and Soul. You can't hear it without thinking about the great jazz singers like Dinah Washington or Billie Holiday.

Back to my initial point: she's an icon. There have always been icons in music history. Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Prince, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury to name some big ones, but also Sid Vicious, Ozzy Osbourne, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson or Bob Marley. These are people whose names ring a bell and immediately you get not only their music, but the look, the surroundings, their whole career in your head. Amy Winehouse is such a name. Unfortunately there aren't that many icons around these days, Beyoncé of course. Hopefully there will be more artists of this kind soon, popular music could really need some.

If you want to compare her to any previous inductee, you should compare her with Janis Joplin, not only because of the identical age and similar cause of death. Both evolved from prior music genres (Janis from Blues, Amy from Jazz and Soul) and had similar career output and incredible voices. I don't really see huge differences.

My final point is the legacy. She was a driving force in the evolution of Neo Soul, especially in UK and Europe. Fellow nominee Adele is probably the biggest beneficiary, who stated several times that Amy was the main reason to start her own career. Rolling Stone named Back to Black #33 on the 500 greatest albums of all time list. She won 6 Grammys, alone 5 in one night (although I have mixed feelings about the Grammys in general, to keep it friendly). The documentary feature about her life won an Oscar.

I hope I gave some good points for consideration. She deserves it, but so do many others on the ballot. I'm really curious of the outcome. I have no idea how this massive number of newbie nominees will affect the voting.

Posted by MichaelEU on Thursday, 09/28/2023 @ 15:36pm


I probably have 5 artists, singers, groups cemented in who I will vote for:
1. Alicia Keys
2. Foreigner
3. Phil Collins
4. Sheryl Crow
5. The Human League

Lionel Richie & Stevie Nicks are 2 music legends and both have recently been inducted into the RRHOF. Definitely in consideration. This is another ballot with a good amount of women nominations. A few deserving woman artists will fall short. Scorpions my Nomination lost to Phil Collins in the tiebreaker. A tough blow for KING. I tried to get Scorpions nominated again in the final nomination rounds. Fell short again. Some artists like Britney Spears, Ministry, and Patti LaBelle also deserve my consideration. This year's ballot has more quality depth I believe. We will have a few new voters this year. Their votes definitely could shift the balance to a particular artist earning induction. I'm very intrigued how it shakes out. Very supportive of Sheryl Crow last year. I think around the time of the Rock Hall Projected voting last year...Sheryl Crow earned a RRHOF nomination. I think Sheryl Crow will be inducted this time around. KING

Posted by KING on Thursday, 09/28/2023 @ 18:21pm


It's a pretty good bunch of nominations to choose from. No real bad options. I think my "for sure"s on this ballot are Alanis Morissette, Foreigner, Phil Collins, and Sinéad O'Connor. I just think they are the most overdue artists on the list. I wouldn't be surprised to see any of them get into the actual Hall this year, yet here we are debating about them for our class of 2039. The rest of my votes will likely come from this bunch of artists.

Alicia Keys
Amy Winehouse
Blink-182
Bruno Mars
Fiona Apple
Fugees
Ice-T
No Doubt
Patti LaBelle
Shakira
The Weeknd

Posted by Michael W. on Friday, 09/29/2023 @ 12:42pm


What a great set of nominees across the board. For the main ballot, I've whittled down a short list that, to me, focuses on a combination of influence, critical success, and popularity:

Most Likely Votes
Alanis Morissette
Boogie Down Productions
Fugees
Lucinda Williams
Roberta Flack
St. Vincent
Wire

Also in the running
Alicia Keys
Blink-182
Fiona Apple
Ministry
No Doubt
Selena
Sinéad O'Connor

I do think that there are a lot of fantastic conversations to be had in the other categories.

For non-performers, I'm leaning towards Clarence Avant, Holly Knight, and Max Martin with Bert Berns just on the outside.

Influences is STACKED. I've winnowed it to Blind Willie Johnson, Celia Cruz, Fats Waller, Kitty Wells, Memphis Minnie, and Sarah Vaughan, and I don't have a clear top three from there.

For side musicians, I'm leaning towards prolificness as a key criterion, which makes my short list Abraham Laboriel Sr, Jennifer Batten, Larry Carlton, and Paulinho da Costa.

I'd love to hear other folks' thoughts, particularly on the smaller categories.

I do think that there are a lot of fantastic conversations to be had in the other categories.

For non-performers, I'm leaning towards Clarence Avant, Holly Knight, and Max Martin with Bert Berns just on the outside.

Influences is STACKED. I've winnowed it to Blind Willie Johnson, Celia Cruz, Fats Waller, Kitty Wells, Memphis Minnie, and Sarah Vaughan, and I don't have a clear top three from there.

For side musicians, I'm leaning towards prolificness as a key criterion, which makes my short list Abraham Laboriel Sr, Jennifer Batten, Larry Carlton, and Paulinho da Costa.

I'd love to hear other folks' thoughts, particularly on the smaller categories.

What a great set of nominees across the board. For the main ballot, I've whittled down a short list that, to me, focuses on a combination of influence, critical success, and popularity:

Most Likely Votes
Alanis Morissette
Boogie Down Productions
Fugees
Lucinda Williams
Roberta Flack
St. Vincent
Wire

Also in the running
Alicia Keys
Blink-182
Fiona Apple
Ministry
No Doubt
Selena
Sinéad O'Connor

My pitch is for the Hip Hop group Fugees. Consisting of Lauryn Hill (lead singer, rapper, producer) from New Jersey, along with Haitian immigrants Wyclef Jean (Guitarist, singer, rapper, producer) and Pras (rapper, producer).

Before you go "oh another hip hop act" let me remind you that Fugees were vastly different from their hip hop counterparts in their prime. Not only were they dubbed a "Rap N Roll" group but when the group became one of the first rap acts to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone in 1996, the headline asked "Are the Fugees the future of rock & roll?". In 1997, Lisa Warden, the former music director of the Los Angeles rock radio station KROQ, told SPIN "Fugees are the only hip-hop group that it makes absolute sense to play on an alternative station".

If you listen to modern R&B and Hip hop it would seem strange to consider the music of Fugees "alternative" when paired next to it, however if you pair their work with that of their peers of the time, they sounded nothing like anyone before them. Under the mentorship of Ronald Bell from Kool & The Gang, Fugees set the blueprint for the sound of modern pop music.

Their first album was mostly well received by critics, who praised Hill and advocated for her to go solo. She received a solo record deal offer from Michael Jackson, but she turned it down and chose to stay in the group. They could've disbanded but instead they created magic. Together the group released The Score. The Score shot to #1 staying their for four weeks (a SoundScan record for a hip hop act at the time), It quickly became the biggest selling hip hop album ever at that point, and won them legions of fans in markets hip hop had never reached. Their version of "Killing Me Softly" broke multiple records after it was released, commercially surpassed the original pop record and became the best selling song of 1996 worldwide. They won two Grammys, including Best Rap Album (making Hill the first woman to win the award).

Needless to say they were more commercially and critically successful than any other hip hop act before them. But their music was more than just popular, it was impactful. Their commercial success thrusted the hip hop genre into the mainstream, while their sound reinvented it. Fugees changed the soundscape from the popular gangsta rap to the sample driven, melodic, rap/sing approach we'd soon hear from artists like Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West and Post Malone. They incorporated reggae elements in their songs, and proudly displayed their Haitian roots, which highlighted diasporic blackness in music in a way that had never been done before, thus paving the way for the late 90s/early 00s R&B/Hip Hop songs with Reggae elements that dominated radio (think Shaggy, Sean Paul, Rihanna).

During their prime most raps songs didn't have melodic choruses, and rappers would get a singer to sing their chorus. Lauryn Hill's ability to sing and rap seamlessly on a single like "Ready or Not", changed that and essentially gave birth to the songs we hear today by Drake.

A coincidence? Not quite, here's a video of Drake singing Ready or Not as a child:

https://www.vibe.com/music/music-news/8-year-old-drake-killing-me-softly-401678/amp/

"Ready or Not" was also the first big budget rap video, setting a precedent for artists like Missy Elliott. It's no wonder then that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame listed it as one of the Songs that shaped rock and roll. But their impact doesn't end there, groups resembling The Fugees like The Black Eyed Peas and City High emerged quickly after their commercial dominance. And we have Fugees to thank for some of the biggest acts in music, LITERALLY. Why?

Beyoncé: Beyonce got her big break in a group called Destiny's Child. That group had been dropped from multiple record labels and their first studio album was doing poorly until the label asked Wyclef Jean to remix their single No No No, which became a huge top ten hit. And the rest is history

Lady Gaga: Lady Gaga was discovered by singer Akon who was discovered by The Fugees who featured him on the Score

Amy Winehouse: Winehouse was discovered after her former manager sought out to find a Lauryn Hill like artist after Hill's first solo album was released.

Another artist who's on the ballot Fiona Apple has stated that she studied Lauryn Hill while touring with The Fugees:

https://www.tumblr.com/fionaapplerocks/64613120297/fiona-apple-interviews-kanye-west-oct-2005

Bono dubbed them the Hip Hop version of The Beatles. Billboard has stated their influence on modern hip hop and R&B is "undeniable". They have been sampled by Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, and The Weeknd; while their solo work has been covered or sampled by Rihanna ("Wild Thoughts" samples "Maria Maria" by Wyclef Jean), Taylor Swift (covered Pras' Ghetto Superstar), and Lizzo ( "Break Up Twice" sampled "Doo Wop (That Thing)" by Lauryn Hill).

For me personally, an artist worthy of induction is an artist whose music being removed from history would completely change the sound of modern music. In that case, The Fugees are more than worthy for induction into both The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Rock Hall Re-Visited. Please join me in voting for Fugees.

Bruno Mars belongs in our Hall. I ask for your vote. I only wish all of you had seen him live. If you did, he would get 30+ votes. He's a star who our Hall was made for.

Posted by Paul in KY on Sunday, 10/1/2023 @ 08:54am


I'm going to advocate for two of the Side Player nominees.
Abraham Laboriel and Larry Carlton are most deserving of induction as Side Players, in my mind.
Laboriel is one of the most prolific bassists ever, a phenomenal session musician, playing on over 4000 recordings, representing a variety of genres. Pick up a handful of record albums, and you mostly likely will find his name as the bassist on a good number of them.
Larry Carlton, as well, has played on so many albums over the years, especially in the 70's and 80's. His work on Steely Dan's "Aja" and "The Royal Scam" albums, as well as the Grammy award winning, "Theme from Hill Street Blues" by Mike Post, is instantly recognizable and iconic.
I would love to see both of these phenomenal musicians get their due and be inducted in the Side Player category. Would you join me in voting for them?

Cheers!
Kenmil

I would like to make the case for Lucinda Williams, as I believe she's one of the greatest artists and songwriters of all time.

If she broke out 10-15 years earlier, there's no question that she'd be considered a peer of the likes of the great north-american songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty etc. or the great female rockers like Stevie Nicks, Chrissie Hynde, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith etc., she can both write and rock as hard as anyone in the Hall of Fame. The balkanization of music has made these connections trickier, but I would argue the Americana genre is the true successor of the singer-songwriter movement of the 60s and 70s. She's been recognized by Paste Magazine and Rolling Stone as one of the greatest ever songwriters, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road is a regular presence on lists of the greatest albums of of all time. She has a voice that's both tough as nails and tender, she can write from the heart and also write stories of ordinary people with great empathy, which is one of the rarest abilities of songwriters.

Personally, I'm so happy that we inducted Roberta Flack into the FRL Revisited/Projected project as a performer. Roberta is one of the greatest singers of all time, and I'm thrilled to see her brilliance recognized by the voters. Awesome.

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 10/9/2023 @ 23:06pm


This class is looking good so far, and I'm satisfied with who got in the performer slots, with the exception of 1: Lionel Richie.

I know he got into the real Rock Hall last year and that's probably the biggest reason why he got in, but at the same time do we not remember the discussion about how not everyone who gets in the real Hall should get in our Hall?

Now I know that not every artist thats get on the ballot gets in, but I have to question why Lionel got in before highly influential artists like Adele and The Strokes.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 10/10/2023 @ 12:31pm


Great class so far. Kind of surprised Lionel Ritchie did as well as he did but all in all no complaints. Interested to see how the tie breakers shake out as this is already a really eclectic bunch. Also big hooray to Wire for finally getting over the hump.

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 10/10/2023 @ 14:42pm


I have a lot of thoughts on this year's class (I'll get to them in the next few days, mostly great things about it) but I'll defend Lionel Richie for a few moments. I've nominated him and he finally made it to the ballot this year for the first time. His name has come up a few times in the past and he usually came pretty close to making the final ballot. He made it as a finalist this year and got in on his first try (which doesn't seem to happen a lot in this Project, I could be wrong). I nominated Lionel Richie because he's one of the biggest pop and R&B superstars of the late 20th century. This man wrote some of the most enduring songs of the last half-century (both solo and with the Commodores) and became one of the best-selling artists of all time. Critics never liked Richie's work but there's plenty of inductees (both in this Project and the actual Rock Hall) that weren't critical darlings. Richie getting inducted in this Project boils down to voters feeling he was one of the next musical icons to be heavily considered. He deserves it.

And he's got a truck load of industry awards including an Academy Award, 4 Grammys (one for Album of the Year AND Song of the Year....in the same year!), Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, MusicCares Person of the Year recipient, the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song by the Library of Congress and the Kennedy Center Honors. You don't get these types of awards by sheer fluke.

The final part of our annual induction process is proposing changes to the rules and genre votes for next year.

Here are the genres that we used in 2023, with the top two vote-getters being qualified to the final ballot:

Newly Eligible Artists (First Five Years Of Eligibility) & NP / INF / Side
Classic Rock/Metal & NP / INF / Side
Classic Alternative/Punk & NP / INF / Side
Modern Rock/Alternative/Indie & NP / INF / Side
Folk/Country Rock / Singer-Songwriter & NP / INF / Side
R'n'B
Electronica
Hip Hop
Pop
World Music

There were also three General votes to fill out the rest of the ballot.

Next year, we will have one performer (Blink-182), one non-performer (Bert Berns) and one influence (Buck Owens) that will automatically carry over to their respective ballots.


What, if any, changes would you like us to consider for the 2024 ballot nomination process?

Please post your suggestions her by 8 PM Central on Thursday the 19th and we will begin discussions and possibly schedule rule change votes.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 10/12/2023 @ 22:55pm


One change that I would like us to consider is re-naming the "Side Musicians" category "Side Performers". I think that it flows better with "Performers", "Non-Performers" and "Influences" than "Side Musicians" does, while meaning essentially the same thing.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 10/12/2023 @ 22:57pm


Congrats to the new 2023 Rock Hall Projected Class here FRL. An eclectic and interesting class...Fiona Apple, Foreigner, Ice-T, Lionel Richie, Roberta Flack, Sheryl Crow, and Wire (Finally!).
My guess if you handed an initial ballot to the 30+ FRL voters...I would hazard a guess nobody would have picked 7/7 correct. Credit to the FRL Regulars and new voters for a deep and quality field of Nominees.
Some of this year's inductees had a good support or write-up in the days before the voting period. It might have helped these artists cross the threshold for induction. Next year 2024, I suspect there will be more quality support and write-ups before the voting period. Slowly but surely, we are inducting the most qualified music artists. Credit to all the voters who did excellent work.
KING

Posted by KING on Friday, 10/13/2023 @ 07:04am


I'd like to propose continuing the Year Vote even when we have exhausted all the possible years picked by the Random Generator. The Year Vote is 1 of my FAV month Nominations and Voting Inductions. It's a way to induct songs that fall through the cracks or popular songs that have not been inducted for whatever reason. I know there has been discussion what to do when all the years have been selected. It's up to the group but I'd like to see the Year Vote continue.
KING

Posted by KING on Friday, 10/13/2023 @ 07:18am


I remember King asking last year if we were gonna alternate between doing the genre votes first and then general and vice versa. Obviously, we did genre vote first this year, but maybe alternating is something we could do.

Only other thing I can think of proposing is maybe doing a trial run of another genre vote for a genre that doesn't have that many reps in our Hall like Ska or something. Idk what exactly it should be, nor do I know if it should replace an existing vote or just be added as an additional one, but it's something to think about, I guess.

Posted by Raichu on Friday, 10/13/2023 @ 08:12am


King - This is a discussion for rule changes to the Re-visited / Projected project only. The discussions for rule changes on the Song or Album project will take place in December on the Song and Album Project boards.

Raichu - I think that I forgot to alternate between doing the genre votes first and doing the general votes first this year.

How about going forward, we do genres first in odd numbered years and the general votes first in even numbered years? No vote or official rule change required, but I would appreciate a reminder when we're ramping up for the new year.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 10/13/2023 @ 10:05am


Raichu - I'm not opposed to potentially adding new genre votes, but something like Ska fits pretty neatly into either Classic Alternative / New Wave or World Music (or even Pop or Modern Alt / Modern Rock, depending on the artist).

What are some of the prominent artists that you feel we should consider / prioritize from this sub-genre in 2024? Madness comes to mind as a pretty big name in the genre that we haven't inducted yet.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 10/13/2023 @ 10:44am


Hi everyone:

We have now inducted our 2023 class into the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall of Fame Project, the Crown Jewel of this website and community. Not to mention those new members who are not yet in the actual Rock Hall of Fame are now bound to be discussed at least once by the Nominating Committee once they meet to discuss their 2024 nomination ballots in person. I have some observations on these new members of our Project, all of whom are deserving of being inducted into the Project here and the RRHOF.

First and foremost, Wire is now in! It took quite a while to get them in, and I had doubted the post-rock group would be even going over the hump. Well, it has been rectified and now we can move forward. Maybe even now look at their albums and collaborate efforts beyond the first 3 albums. I say this because I started following Wire after hearing The Ideal Copy at a Borders kiosk way back in 2002.

In recent years, at least one individual now inducted into the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall of Fame Project gets nominated for the next Rock Hall of Fame ballot. I think Roberta Flack may be that person this time. I need to acknowledge Nick Bambach for his quite convincing elevator pitch on Roberta Flack's credentials. This might be enough to convince the Nominating Committee to include her and likely induct her into the actual RRHOF by next year. I am reminded of Bill Withers getting traction of an eventual induction once he got into the Revisited/Projected Project and how it helped for an actual RRHOF induction. Now that Roberta Flack is in; the time has come to consider others in her sphere not yet included. Perhaps Donny Hathaway has a chance now; though posthumously.

After four years of female majority inductees, we have only inducted 6 women this year. Though all our Influences inductees are female, and each representing an important music subgenre that might not have gotten as much recognition. Even so, minorities make up the majority of inductees in total this year. That is impressive.

I was pleased to see that the Non-Performer, Influence and Side Musician categories had one more individual inducted in each category. This is promising, and I think it could also extend. It might be a good idea to have 8 Performers inducted as the years go on. I would not know if this can be a rule change, we agree on.

I find it an odd symmetry that at the point when the Rock Hall has moved past its old complaint of being Jann Wenner's personal playlist, Foreigner has now gotten inducted into the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall Project. Consider this a win for us egalitarian and inclusive sorts who like a bit of wiggle room in our music.

I will say that there have been a few surprises in this class. I had a total of 7 of the 16 inductees on my ballots. A near 44% success rate. Which seems usual, given my preference. To clarify, I had put Sheryl Crow, Roberta Flack, Foreigner, Lionel Richie, Memphis Minnie, Larry Carlton and Nate Dogg on my ballots, and they got inducted.

Once more, my congratulations to the new inductees. It appears we had a good turnout of voters this time. Looking forward to more of these inductions in the following years.

Now again approaching the calm of the 17th movement of Blint's Tune,

I would propose boosting the amount of Nominee Selections from 30 to 36. It would allow flexibility in adding another genre or two. Maybe, a few more rounds of the general Nominations at the end. Sometimes, an act catches fire here later in the nominations. Cher & The Pointer Sisters are two I can remember. It would have been interesting if Taylor Swift fell short last year. She would have probably received 20+ votes this year. I enjoy the Classic Rock and the Metal Nominations. The Hip Hop and Rap also has quality depth. It's amazing the number of these quality artists waiting to be inducted. As we head into mid October, it's been another successful year for the projects. We have added a few more new blood voters to inject enthusiasm into the nominations and voting. There's also usually a good eclectic mix of inductees in the different General and Year Votes. 2024 will be here soon and it should continue to be another outstanding year.

I was thinking about having the frequent voters here in Rock Hall Projected submit a list of 10 music groups or singers they believe are the most deserving of being inducted here in the Rock Hall Projected. A Top 10 List. It would create a Master Snub List and help the voters decide on what groups are most deserving. For example, say 8 frequent voters had Alabama on their Top 10 List. 9 frequent voters had Queensryche on their Top 10 List and Counting Crows was on 10 lists. That would show
Alabama, Counting Crows, and Queensryche might be worthy to be inducted here in the future.
I think for some of the newer voters...It will also be helpful who is inducted and who has not been inducted yet. The Top 10 Lists could be submitted here in late spring or early summer before we start the 1st round of Nominations and Voting. I think it usually starts with the Young Artists. There was some good passionate support of certain artists over the year. The Lauryn Hill and The Fugees discussion was a good example.

My 2 Suggestions for Changes -

1. Change the Vote from "Newly Eligible Artists (First Five Years Of Eligibility" to "Artists Not Yet Eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, aka the First 15 Years of Eligibility." This allows for a more competitive vote than the one we currently have.

2. Drop "Singer-Songwriter" from the Genre Vote "Folk/Country Rock / Singer-Songwriter." The term Singer-Songwriter is too broad and some artists felt out of place amongst the Folk/Country/Americana acts that populated the ballot. Make it just 'Folk/Country Rock.'

Other than that, everything we do to run these projects are very smooth and need to stay that way.

If there aren't any remaining issues to discuss, this will conclude the Re-Visited / Projected Project for the year.

Unless something was missed, we'll pick this back up in June 2024 as we start determining the 2024 class of inductees!

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 10/24/2023 @ 22:00pm


It doesn't really matter too much but in the future you might include an "Abstain" option on the questions. There was one this time that I didn't have strong feelings on either way but was forced to vote for something.

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 10/25/2023 @ 20:29pm


jtrichey - You shouldn't have been required to vote for any of the polls. My apologies if I set up the poll form incorrectly.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 10/27/2023 @ 10:33am


No worries. I left it blank and tried to submit but it wouldn't let me. If there was another way I didn't see it.
