One of the most interesting aspects of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is the selection of the people who get to honor the Hall of Famers with the induction speech. Future Rock Hall has now cataloged these inductors going back to 1993. The list is loaded with rock legends past and present, and provides a glimpse into who the Rock Hall considers important. For example, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam has inducted four different artists into the Hall. As if it weren't clear enough that Pearl Jam are future inductees, that would seem to solidify it. There are a few instances where the Rock Hall picked a current artist that didn't turn out to have a Hall-worthy career (Lil Kim comes to mind).


If anyone has access to the missing data from 1986 to 1992, let us know.
