Future Rock Legends

KING mentioned before we left for the new year how folks should make a list of 10 deserving acts. So I thought I would make such a list for my own enjoyment...

1. Drake
2. Adele
3. Patti LaBelle
4. Midnight Oil
5. Amy Winehouse
6. John Denver
7. Snoop Dogg
8. Korn
9. Alicia Keys
10. Gorillaz
HM: No Doubt, The Kingston Trio

I realize that I won't be bringing the Kingston Trio up, ( as they are in as an Influence) but I felt that they need mentioning as a performer anyway.

The top-two vote-getters from each vote will be nominated to the ballot.

Any voter that's interested in participating can nominate one eligible Performer, one Non-Performer, one Influence and one Side Performer. It's not necessary to nominate someone for all four categories to participate. It is not required that you make nominations to vote.

Please send an email to rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com. Please allow at least 24 hours for a response (usually it's much quicker than that but life gets in the way sometimes).

I was wondering if something was up, Lax. Wishing the best to both you in your job search and to your dad on his continued recovery.


Performer: Gang of Four

Non-Performer: Steve Albini
Was kind of surprised to see we hadn't inducted him for his production work yet. RIP.

Influence: Big Jay McNeely
Bringing back the push for the big man himself, whose flamboyant and energetic style of saxophone playing helped pave the way for the style of energetic rock performances later on.

Side Performer: Tony Levin
Primarily a bassist who played on much of Peter Gabriel's solo work, much of King Crimson starting with 1981's Discipline, numerous Carly Simon recordings, Lou Reed's Berlin, Paul Simon's Still Crazy After All These Years, Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare, Tom Waits' Rain Dogs, Warren Zevon's Sentimental Hygiene, and more.

Posted by Ray on Tuesday, 06/11/2024 @ 22:05pm

Naz P-

Timbaland has already been inducted into the the Rock Hall Project in the class of 2021. You can nominate another non performer to replace him.

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 06/12/2024 @ 04:21am

Performer: Luther Vandross

Luther Vandross is one of the most prominent rnb acts in 70s and 80s. He is the bridge between old school rnb (Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder) and contemporary rnb acts (R.Kelly, Babyface, Usher). Vandross has been cited as an inspiration on a number of other artists, including 112, Boyz II Men, D'Angelo, Hootie & the Blowfish, Jaheim, John Legend, Mint Condition, Ne-Yo, Ruben Studdard, and Usher. He should be in.

Non-Performer: Jimmy Webb

Webb has written numerous platinum-selling songs, including "Up, Up and Away", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "MacArthur Park", "Wichita Lineman", "Worst That Could Happen", "Galveston" and "All I Know". He had successful collaborations with Glen Campbell, Michael Feinstein, Linda Ronstadt, the 5th Dimension, the Supremes, Art Garfunkel and Richard Harris. According to BMI, his song "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" was the third most performed song in the 50 years between 1940 and 1990. He should be in.


Influence: DJ Hollywood

In 1978 and 1979, DJ Hollywood was the first DJ to bring turntables and a mixer to perform at the Apollo Theater. Until the mid-1980s, Hollywood was one of the top DJs. He had influenced early hip hop pioneers like GF5, Public Enemy...

Side Performer: MFSB

MFSB is the main backing musician of Philadelphia Soul. They worked closely with the production team of Gamble and Huff and producer Thom Bell, and backed up Harold Melvin&the Blue Notes, the O'Jays, the Spinners, Wilson Pickett, and Billy Paul. "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)", also known as the Soul Train theme, was their second and most successful single. Released in March 1974, it was peak at number one on the US Billboard pop and R&B charts. "TSOP" was influential in establishing the disco sound.

They are perfect fit for sideman category in this project and also "musical excellence" in the real RRHOF

Posted by power on Wednesday, 06/12/2024 @ 08:37am

power-

MFSB was inducted into the Rock Hall Project in 2033 you still have a nomination left for side musician.

I would like to change my nomination.

I previously nominated DJ Hollywood, I would like to nominate Alexis Korner now.

Posted by power on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 03:32am

I'm going to switch my non-performer nomination from Roger Dean to:

Creed Taylor

Taylor was a major producer for important jazz albums, who worked at several labels, but was the founder of both the Impulse! and CTI record labels, signing many young new artists who would become primary jazz artists that would also become known in the mainstream (such as George Benson), and he was also known as the one who introduced Bossa Nova to the U.S. with the release of "The Girl from Ipanema" with Antonio Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz. He was one of the most important figures in jazz from the 50's on.
Here is his Wiki page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creed_Taylor

Cheers.
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 05:41am

Jimmy Buffett didn't do so well in the performer vote so I'm going to switch my nomination to Phish.

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 07:43am

I would like to add the bluesbreakers to my nomination of john mayall making it john mayall and the bluesbreakers.

Posted by 0pac big on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 08:31am

Just a correction.
The nominations of Steve Gadd, Burl Ives, and T-Bone Burnett were all ntndeacon not Kenmil.

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 08:45am

Damn! Was so busy this weekend I missed the first vote. Oh well.

Since the Andrews Sisters are moving on to the next round, I'll submit Tony Bennett as my new Influences nominee.

Posted by Michael W. on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 08:55am

For my new Performer nomination, I'd like to choose Lenny Kravitz.

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 09:14am

With Biz Markie in, my new nominee for the Side Musician category is Tim Cappello.

Posted by Ian on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 09:19am

I'm gonna mix it up a bit and swap my Performer nominee to Jeff Buckley. I have a feeling its not gonna do so well and I'll probably switch back to The Strokes when the 3rd vote starts, but its worth a shot.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 09:52am

It's easy for Phil Collins to get nominated on the ballot, yet difficult for him to get inducted into Rock Hall Revisited/Projected!

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 11:01am

New Non-Performer Nominee: Sylvia Moy

Posted by Kurtal on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 11:58am

I change my influence nominee. Please replace Flatt & Scruggs with

Miriam Makeba

World Music is highly underrepresented in the project (as is Bluegrass btw). I think she fits better in the influence category than in the regular performer category.

Another change in the sidemen category. I'd like to replace James Cotton with

Reggie Young

Lead guitarist of the Memphis Boys. Some of the songs he played on: Sweet Caroline, Always on My Mind, Highwayman, Drift Away, The Letter, Son of a Preacher Man, I Can Help, Cocaine, In the Ghetto, and - his best IMO - Suspicious Minds.

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 13:34pm

My replacements

Performer nomination - Marianne Faithfull

Influence nomination - Bobbie Gentry

Posted by Elle Dee on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 14:27pm

Also

Non-performer nomination - Margo Guryan

Posted by Elle Dee on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 14:36pm

For the side performer category, I'd like to nominate Tackhead

Posted by Chris Lyons on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 17:32pm

Gonna switch from Cocteau Twins to Vampire Weekend.

Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 17:48pm

Well, my nomination for the main performers category has advanced. Perhaps this year will be the time that Phil Collins gets in. So, with that said, my nomination for the main performer category now will be:

Sarah McLachlan

Hopefully some new songs from her are forthcoming, and now seems like a fair time what with 30 years of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and a new tour ongoing.

Showing my age and my 90s favorites,

Lax41

Posted by Lax41 on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 19:35pm

I forgot to put up my side performers nomination last week and it's someone has appeared on the final ballot in previous years - Lesley Duncan

She worked with a session musician and backing vocalist with plenty of famous artists such as Elton John, David Bowie, Ringo Starr, Donovan, Dusty Springfield, The Alan Parsons Project and Scott Walker. But she most famously contributed backing vocals to Pink Floyd's iconic album 'Dark Side of the Moon.' In terms of notable backing vocalists, she is a glaring snub in this project.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 06/18/2024 @ 22:31pm

Performer: The Dells

Influence: Charles Mingus

Non-Performer: Florence Greenberg

Sidemen: The Cues

Posted by Ozma on Wednesday, 06/19/2024 @ 08:17am

Influence: Mary Ford
Sideman: The Applejacks

Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 06/19/2024 @ 19:30pm

So, I'd like to stick with Amy Winehouse (perf) and Tito Puente (infl), but I'd like to nominate Tackhead for side performer and Robert Christgau for non-performer

Posted by Chris Lyons on Wednesday, 06/19/2024 @ 21:41pm

Many disagree about hip hop in the RRHOF, but is there a Hall of Fame for that? I think the same thing happens with pop music, or not? There is a need to change the name from Rock to Music Hall of Fame ?

I completely missed that No Doubt advanced in the first round of voting.

In the next round, can my Performer nomination be Boston?

So here are my nominations:

Performer: Sufjan Stevens
Non-Performer: Geoff Emerick

My new non performer nomination will be Cousin Brucie. A legendary DJ who has been in radio for over 60 years most famously in the New York City market and on Sirius XM.

If Fats Waller wins the tiebreaker my new Influence nomination will be Benny Goodman

Side Musician and Artist nominations will remain the same

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 04:35am

I'm going to change two of my nominees:

Performer: Boz Scaggs

Side Player: David Sanborn

Rest in Peace, Mr. Sanborn . . .

I will see what happens with the tiebreaker for my Influence nominee.

Cheers!

Please change my nominee from Paramore to Social Distortion.

Posted by Paul in KY on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 05:36am

I would like to change my picks:

Early Influence: Alexis Korner -> Ornette Coleman (If we can have Sun Ra as influence, why not Ornette Coleman, he is more influential than Sun Ra)
Sidemen: Still Ron Carter
Performer: Luther Vandross (on the ballot already) -> UFO (They influenced the whole NWOBHM scene)
Non-performer: Still Suzanne de Passe

Posted by power on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 07:52am

My new performer nominee is Snoop Dogg.

Arguably the biggest hip hop artist we haven't inducted yet.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 08:12am

I would like to change my picks (My nominee is just based on this reply)

Early Influence: Alexis Korner -> Ornette Coleman
Sidemen: Ron Carter -> Tony Allen
Performer: Luther Vandross (on the ballot already) -> Donny Hathaway
Non-performer: Suzanne de Passe

Posted by power on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 09:46am

If Tracy Chapman wins the tiebreak, I will add Alanis Morissette as my Performer nominee.

Posted by Kurtal on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 09:57am

Although Los Lobos have done well, I want to change my performers nomination next round.

I'm nominating Garth Brooks.

Posted by Dave on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 10:48am

I'm changing my non-performer nominee from Burt Sugarman to Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. I'll keep everything else the same for now.

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 10:52am

Since Linda Perry advanced, my new non-performer nominee is The Bomb Squad

Since Tony Bennett advanced, my new influence nominee is Sons of the Pioneers

If Linkin Park wins the tiebreaker, my new performer nominee will be Indigo Girls. If Linkin Park does not advance then they will remain as my performer nominee.

Brian Setzer will remain as my side musician nominee.

Posted by Michael W. on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 11:17am

The next couple of days will be very busy for me, so I'm likely to miss something.
Therefore, just in case my influence nominee (Blind Willie Johnson) wins the tiebreaker, I will nominate another for the influence category: Larry Norman

Cheers!

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 16:11pm

Non-performer : Van Dyke Parks

He could even be nominated as an artist or side performer, he's one of those kind of guys. But I choose non-performer because of his producing and collaborating with artists like The Beach Boys, Harry Nilsson, Little Feat, Randy Newman, Phil Ochs, U2, and Bob Dylan. In the early 70s he was head of the audio/visual department of Warner Brothers records which became the very first company to produce promotional videos for artists.

Can somebody post the link to the tiebreaker votes please and since Dionne Warwick is officially nominated I would like to nominate 2 groups who got inducted into the real hall of fame together the small faces/the faces. if I had to pick 1 specifically I would go with the small faces.

Posted by 0pac big on Wednesday, 06/26/2024 @ 10:38am

Although he did better than I thought he would, I'm gonna change my nomination from Jeff Buckley back to The Strokes. I can still use them in their respective genre votes assuming they don't get scooped up by someone else first.

I just came back to the scene so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to nominate people, but if so here goes:

For Performer I'd like to add Los Lobos back to the ballot

For Side Musician I'd like to nominate Amir "Questlove" Thompson- Beyond The Roots he's got a ton of session work on his resume on some some of the most critically acclaimed albums of his generation and worked with several real life and in Project Hall of Famers.

For Non Performer I'll nominate Rick Hall owner of FAME studios, the producer and engineer that assembled the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.

For Influence I'll go for Desmond Dekker. Early Jamaican ska/rocksteady/reggae records seemed to influence a lot British music about a decade later and 007 (Shanty Town) and especially Israelites seem like the jumping off point for that.

Non-Performer: Jim Steinman

With the Bat Out Of Hell trilogy of albums, he and Meat Loaf literally created their own branch of Rock known as Wagnerian Rock which (as per Wikipedia) is the the merger of 20th-century rock and roll and 19th-century opera reminiscent of Richard Wagner or Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. This new branch has also influenced many artists in Progressive Rock, Symphonic Metal, and Rock Opera.

As per Wikipedia: He was "an American composer, lyricist and record producer. He also worked as an arranger, pianist, and singer. His work included songs in the adult contemporary, rock, dance, pop, musical theater, and film score genres. He wrote songs for Bonnie Tyler and Meat Loaf, including Bat Out of Hell (one of the best-selling albums in history), and also wrote and produced Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell and Tyler's Faster Than the Speed of Night.

His most successful chart singles include Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing at All", Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", the Sisters of Mercy's "This Corrosion" and "More", Barry Manilow's "Read 'Em and Weep", Take That's "Never Forget", Celine Dion's cover of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (originally released by Steinman's project Pandora's Box) and Boyzone's "No Matter What". Steinman's only solo album, Bad for Good, was released in 1981.

Steinman's work also extended to musical theater, where he began his career. He was credited with the book, music, and lyrics for Bat Out of Hell: The Musical, lyrics for (Andrew Lloyd Webber's) Whistle Down the Wind, and music for Tanz der Vampire."

For my new non-performer nom, I'm going to go with Martin Birch, who did sound engineer and/or production work on a large number of albums, including on all of '70s Deep Purple, Jeff Beck's Beck-Ola, numerous Fleetwood Mac albums from 1969-73 (Then Play On, Kiln House, Bare Trees, Penguin, and Mystery to Me), Wishbone Ash's first three albums, all of Dio-era Rainbow, both Dio albums in the '80s with Black Sabbath, Whitesnake from 1978-84, Blue Oyster Cult's first two '80s albums (including Fire of Unknown Origin), and Iron Maiden from their second album Killers to 1992's Fear of the Dark.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 08:25am

My nominee is Gorillaz.

Posted by Ian on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 08:27am

Non-performer: Victoria Williams
Sideman: The Tragically Hip
Influence: Alice Coltrane
Performer: Daniel Johnston

Info on the bands/artists to make my case:

Non-performer: Victoria Williams - She's been a critical darling since the late '80s with her quirky brand of Americana albums (she's sort of like a redneck Kate Bush — Victoria was originally from my hometown of Shreveport, LA). She wasn't a household name, but admired by her musician peers. So much so that when she was hit with multiple sclerosis and didn't have health insurance to cover medical bills, the likes of Pearl Jam, Lucinda Williams, Lou Reed, and others band together to record "Sweet Relief", a benefit album of bands/artists covering Victoria's songs (including Pearl Jam's famous cover of her song Crazy Mary) as a way to help raise money to pay for her medical bills. This ultimately led Victoria to start the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, a non-profit charity who's mission is to raise donations from other musicians and the public for musicians who are struggling financially while dealing with serious medical health issues. The Sweet Relief Musicians Fund is still going strong today.


Sideman: The Tragically Hip - They weren't a household name in America, but they were a pretty huge deal in their native Canada. They're kinda in the same lane as Kate Bush - huge in their home country, cult favorites and critical darlings in the US. They have a very loyal fanbase outside of Canada. They're highly respected by musicians. Their songs have been covered relentlessly by other bands and singers.


Influence: Alice Coltrane - As far as avant-garde jazz goes, she's one of the more recognized female names of the genre.


Performer: Daniel Johnston - In a lot of ways, Daniel Johnston pioneered bedroom pop and indie rock's lo-fi. His influence is unquestionable - Kurt Cobain, Beck, Elliott Smith, Phoebe Bridgers. His songs have been covered by the likes of Eddie Vedder, Wilco, Death Cab for Cutie, Tom Waits, etc.

July Nominee 4 New Artist (1).
Bruno Mars

KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 12:05pm

Elle Dee:

Daniel Johnston isn't eligible for this week's genre vote (the rest of the Performers ballots will be genre votes) because he is currently eligible for the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, with his qualifying music being released prior to 2000.

In my opinion, The Tragically Hip shouldn't be eligible for the Side Performers category. Could you please explain why you think that they should be nominated as Side Performers rather than Performers, assuming this isn't an error?

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 12:29pm

Darren

The reason why I put Tragically Hip in side performers instead of the main performers category is because, in my head, they're the type of band that I know wouldn't do well in the performers category. But I can switch them in the performers category and take out Daniel Johnston. In the sidemen category, I now pick Lisa Germano.

Posted by Elle Dee on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 13:31pm

I'm going to switch my nominations for non-performer and influence.

Non-performer: Spike Jonze

Influence: Terry Riley

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 13:37pm

If Steve Gadd wins the tiebreaker replace him in Side players with a bassist with the J.B.s and Parliament- Funkadelic,,, Bootsy Collins.

for Performer: Florence + the Machine

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 13:46pm

Performers: Carrie Underwood

Posted by Dave on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 14:38pm

I apologize for missing last week's voting. I was very busy, and it slipped my mind.

Darren, can I make a suggestion: when you post the links to the ballots, can they be formatted a tad better. For example, I think the following should only be said once and not four times in a single post (for me, at least, the way it is formatted makes it hard for me to find the links on this page):

Passwords are required and were sent to verified voters over the past week. Do not share that password with anyone. Votes cast by unverified voters will not be counted.

If you are new to the project and/or haven't been verified yet, please contact Nick at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com

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

There will be 3 days of voting.

Voting ends on Monday at 8 PM Central.

Posted by Dave on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 14:42pm

Dave - Sure, that makes sense.

Elle Dee - I agree that The Tragically Hip is likely to struggle to get inducted into the Performers category, but only Side Performers should be nominated for the Side Performer category. We can't allow Performers to be nominated in categories that they're not eligible for.

The Tragically Hip isn't eligible for this week's genre vote (Newly Eligible Artists (Not Yet Eligible For The RNR HOF (2000-2014)).

Only artists that debuted between 2000 and 2014 are eligible for nomination in this category.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 16:35pm

Performer: SZA

Posted by Kurtal on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 18:47pm

Darren

Ok gotcha.

Starting over with my picks --

For performers, I'm choosing Charli XCX

For sidemen, I'm choosing Morgane Stapleton

Posted by Elle Dee on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 18:59pm

Guess I will go with:

Muse

again. For a band that got a lot of support here just a few years ago I don't quite understand why they couldn't make any headway with the general votes. They are far and away deserving.

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 19:43pm

Well, it looks like my selection in the General performer ballot did not go through. But she was pretty damn close. I might put Sarah McLachlan in again for the Singer Songwriter ballot nomination, unless a fellow voter beats me to it. Well, here is my nominee for this week's ballot.

Ariana Grande

Consider without prejudice,

Lax41

Posted by Lax41 on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 20:56pm

I would like to change to the following:

Performer
Old: Madness
New: Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes

Influence
Old: The Skatalites
New: J.J. Cale

Posted by dmg on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 21:24pm

For my performer nominee I am going to go with 1 of 2 remaining artists on VH1's 2010 list of 100 greatest artists not inducted and the only one who hasn't been already taken Justin Timberlake.

For influence I am going to go with a Broadway legend who actually had 12 top 40 hits on billboard in the pre-rock era in Ethel Merman.

Posted by 0pac big on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 23:58pm

dmg - Unfortunately, we've begun the genre portion of the Performers nomination process and only performers that aren't eligible for the RNR Hall Of Fame are eligible for the Performers ballot this year, so you'll need a replacement nominee.

I would consider doing an all general ballot nomination process next year if there was interest. I think it would be interesting to see how that went.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 07/3/2024 @ 01:06am

jtrichey- Muse's first album came out in 1999 so they are unfortunately not eligible for this round of voting.

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 07/3/2024 @ 08:40am

My nominee: Twenty-One Pilots. Thought we already inducted Bruno Mars.

Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 07/3/2024 @ 10:55am

My god, the side performer category makes me crazy, year after year. I thought I really had exceptional nominees but they fail so badly. Others (which are quite doubtful to me to be honest) are nominated easily. I really hate the side performer category, not liking it would be highly understated. Sorry.

Nonetheless, I change my side performer nominee to

Bill Lee

Who is he? One of the greatest bassists since the 1960's. Played on many records of Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Ella Fitzgerald, Peter, Paul & Mary and all the other legendary folk singers. On a side note, he was the father of Spike Lee, and has been responsible for the soundtracks of many of his films.

My new non-performer nominee:

Moe Asch

Who is he? Founder of (Smithsonian) Folkways records, legendary recording engineer and producer. A founding father of what becomes Folk Music and a driving force in the development of Jazz.

Posted by MichaelEU on Wednesday, 07/3/2024 @ 15:46pm

If I haven't been beaten to the punch I'll nominate Paramore. I know they've been suggested for this genre performer round, but I'm not sure if anyone's actually nominated them this time so if not I will.

I'll stick with my Influencer and Non performer nominees.

As Side Performer Nominee I'll toss in the other half of the Soulquarians rhythm section Pino Palladino. He's played on some of the most acclaimed soul albums of the past 25 years, done session work with a boatload of Hall of Famers and replaced John Entwistle in The Who. Stellar resume in my opinion.

Posted by Andy on Wednesday, 07/3/2024 @ 17:11pm

Darren, is what Tom H said about Muse correct? I know it's correct that their first album was 1999, but then Muse was on the list you posted a few days ago too.

If they aren't eligible for this vote then I will go with :

Mumford & Sons


Hopefully Muse gets respect for the real Hall before they do here.

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 07/3/2024 @ 20:34pm

I'll nominate Alicia Keys

And could we list my Influence nomination as "Led Paul & Mary Ford". I believe Mary didn't actually have a solo career, but the duo imo was also important along with Les's solo work. Thanks.

Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 07/3/2024 @ 20:59pm

Philip-

I already nominated Alicia Keys but you can keep the nomination. I'll instead nominate an artist that I'm floored hasn't been nominated yet.

The Weeknd

Posted by Tom H. on Thursday, 07/4/2024 @ 05:54am

jtrichey-

I do hope that Muse makes it in sooner rather than later. Hopefully they make the ballot when the modern rock vote comes around.

Posted by Tom H. on Thursday, 07/4/2024 @ 05:57am

For Performer, I nominate:

Imagine Dragons


For Influence, I nominate:

Kenny Rogers

Posted by Jennifer on Thursday, 07/4/2024 @ 06:23am

Please replace my performer nominee with:

Brandi Carlile

Posted by dmg on Thursday, 07/4/2024 @ 12:39pm

New Performer nom:

Burial

Posted by Ray on Thursday, 07/4/2024 @ 22:10pm

jtrichey - Unfortunately, I was incorrect when making that list. Muse is not eligible for this genre vote, as they were technically eligible for the 2024 Rock Hall Inductions. I also left off a lot of really important performers, who have since been nominated.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 07/4/2024 @ 22:25pm

My Classic Rock/Metal nomination: Paul Revere & The Raiders

My Influence, Non-Performer, and Side Musician nominees remain the same.

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 07/9/2024 @ 07:21am

Dream Theater
Mastodon
Dio
Supertramp
Boston
The Black Crowes
Saxon
Van Der Graaf Generator
Uriah Heep
Scorpions
Whitesnake
Korn

I know that classic rock is a bit picked over but there's still some really good candidates out there, particularly when it comes to metal

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 07/9/2024 @ 07:29am

I'm nominating Boston for the Classic Rock/Metal category.

My side category picks stay the same.

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 07/9/2024 @ 09:12am

I'm shocked that Charli XCX, Victoria Williams, and Morgane Stapleton did so poorly in the voting.

Charli XCX is one of the most innovative pop acts in music right now. Highly regarded, critically acclaimed.

I nominated Victoria Williams in the non-performer category for being the founder of Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, a nonprofit charity which helps raise medical funds for professional musicians who are struggling financially. A lot of big name artists support the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

https://www.sweetrelief.org/our-story.html

As for Morgane Stapleton, she's the wife of Chris Stapleton and played a huge role in the creative development of his albums and co-produced his recent album "Higher". She does background, harmony and duet vocals with her husband Chris on his albums. She's also a songwriter, having co-wrote a lot of songs for country artists with her husband Chris. She's also a session vocalist, having worked with the likes of John Prine and Carrie Underwood.

Hello all:

Has the tiebreaker been decided between either Adele or Alicia Keys getting nominated? Also, has voting begun for this week's nomination selection? If possible, I could help in getting this rectified, along with others in the FRL community.

A bit concerned,
