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 2027 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.

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.

Nominations are being started a week early to make sure that everyone is aware that the project has been started (notifications will be posted on the Song and Album Project boards as well) and to give voters time to nominate their selections for the first Performers vote (General Vote) and the first votes for Non-Performers, Influences and Sidemen.

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

Polls will be conducted via Google Polls. The Google Polls will require a password, so you will need to register as an eligible voter in order to participate.

_______________________________________

Nominations are now open for the first General Perfomers Vote, as well as the first Non-Performers Vote, the first Influences Vote and the first Side Performers Vote.

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 keep in mind that the following acts or individuals have been nominated as a result of losing a tiebreaker in the 2023 vote and don't need to be qualified for the 2024 ballot:

Performers - Blink 182
Non-Performers - Bert Berns

I will be posting the list of nominees on Thursday the 13th. If you see any nominees missing, please let me know ASAP.

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).

For consistency, your username must be the same as the one you provided to me when you registered (aka, the username you use to post comments on FRL's website). If anything changes, please tell Darren or myself so we can make note of that. The reason for that is the ballots are password-protected.

Hey Nick...yes, that's me. Sorry for the confusion!

Kurt/Kurtal

Posted by Kurtal on Tuesday, 06/11/2024 @ 15:47pm


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.

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.

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 06/12/2024 @ 10:08am


I want to nominate Mick Ronson

Why is he not in, he helped to shape signature Bowie sound

Posted by power on Wednesday, 06/12/2024 @ 10:26am


power,

Mick Ronson is already in - class of 1998.

Posted by MichaelEU on Wednesday, 06/12/2024 @ 10:41am

One of the most famous and infleuntial jazz sidemen. Also appeared on ATCQ's second album

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

Performer: The Dells

Influence: Charles Mingus

Non-Performer: Florence Greenberg

Sidemen: The Cues

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'm going to change two of my nominees:

Rest in Peace, Mr. Sanborn . . .

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

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

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

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!

Early Influence: Fanny

Non-performer: Henry Clay, the creator of the Shreveport-based show Louisiana Hayride (the radio and TV show that launched the Hank Williams and Elvis Presley)

I would like to change my influence nominee from Burl Ives to Sammy Davis, Jr.

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.

I have to change my performer nominee to Amy Winehouse.

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 06/25/2024 @ 22:40pm


Please change my performer nomination to Boston.

Posted by BSLO on Wednesday, 06/26/2024 @ 01:35am


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.

Posted by Raichu on Wednesday, 06/26/2024 @ 13:38pm




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.

Posted by Andy on Wednesday, 06/26/2024 @ 15:02pm


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."

Posted by Jennifer on Thursday, 06/27/2024 @ 19:56pm


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.

It Takes Two, Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston (US #14)

The tiebreaker winner will automatically be on the ballot prior to this vote. The tiebreaker loser will automatically be on the Round 4 ballot.

If either nominator wants to nominate a replacement candidate for this round, please feel free to do so. If your candidate loses the tiebreaker, they will replace your new nominee, but if your candidate wins, the new nominee will be on this ballot.


Any interested voter can nominate a Side Performer that isn't on the list of nominees, so long as they haven't already been inducted as a Side Performer.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on Thursday.

At approximately 8 PM Central on Thursday, I'll post the list of nominees on this board for review. Please let me know if there are any errors.

At approximately 8 PM Central on Friday, I will post the link to the google poll.

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.

Posted by Elle Dee on Tuesday, 07/2/2024 @ 11:56am


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


A few suggestions if anyone is looking for a nominee for this Classic Rock/Metal:

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 Ian on Tuesday, 07/9/2024 @ 07:45am


My classic rock nominee is somebody who was a controversial rock hall inductee but in the 5 years since then the controversy has died down a bit considering they were a finalist last year. Stevie Nicks

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.

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.

When I was voting on the Sideperson ballot I was really surprised that James Jamerson, who is probably the most important musician in Motown history, hasn't been inducted in the Revisited/Projected Hall of Fame.

Posted by John R.C. on Saturday, 07/13/2024 @ 06:49am

I think all assume James Jamerson was inducted as a member of funk brothers in this project.

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

Here is the list of genre votes that we'll be having every other week as part of this project:

COMPLETED - GENRE #1 - Classic Rock/Metal
IN PROGRESS - GENRE #2 - Classic Alternative/Punk
GENRE #3 - Modern Rock/Alternative/Indie
GENRE #4 - Folk/Country Rock/Singer-Songwriter
GENRE #5 - R'n'B
GENRE #6 - Electronica
GENRE #7 - Hip Hop
GENRE #8 - Pop
GENRE #9 - World Music


The following artists have already been nominated for the 2024 ballot, either by automatically being nominated as a result of the 2023 vote or by winning a genre vote this year, and don't need to be nominated for this qualifying genre vote:

Alicia Keys
Amy Winehouse
Blink 182
Boston
Dionne Warwick
Lauryn Hill
Linkin Park
Living Colour
Luther Vandross
No Doubt
Phil Collins
Sinéad O'Connor
Snoop Dogg
The Strokes


This week's genre vote is Classic Alternative/Punk. If there is any confusion, "Classic Alternative" refers to alternative music from the late 1970s through the late 1980s (and possibly into the very early 90s, depending on the artist), primarily acts fitting in under College Rock or New Wave (the next genre vote will include alternative acts from the 90s and 00s). Punk refers to all eras of Punk rock music, up to and including the artists most recently eligible for this project.

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

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

Genre nominations will not automatically carry over from one genre to another, nor will eligible nominations from the general vote. All genre nominations will need to be newly nominated during the nomination period.

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.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 07/15/2024 @ 23:35pm


My nominee is Squeeze.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 07/15/2024 @ 23:40pm


Simple Minds

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 00:21am


I would like to nominate portishead.

Hope I can support Fishbone in the future.

Is Portishead considered 'Classic Alternative' or 'Punk'? They feel more appropriate for next week's 'Modern Rock/Alternative/Indie' vote or even the 'Electronica' vote in a few weeks.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 00:40am


KING July 16, 2024 Nomination Classic Alternative/Punk (1).
Love And Rockets

KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 00:50am


I could, of course, be wrong but I figured I would ask. Portishead is a very worthy contender, regardless of what vote they are nominated, imo.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 00:51am


My nominee is Fishbone.

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 01:15am


I'll nominate Dinosaur Jr.

Posted by Andy on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 01:17am


My classic alternative nominee is orchestral maneuvers in the dark a band that was influental in the 80s.

Posted by 0pac big on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 01:44am


I'll nominate 10,000 Maniacs this week.

And for whatever it's worth, I agree with Nick B. that this week's genre is not the most suitable one for Portishead, since their first album wasn't released until 1994.

Posted by Michael W. on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 05:31am


Nominee: Grace Jones

Posted by Ozma on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 06:17am


My nomination is Madness. Hugely influential British Ska band.

Posted by Tom H on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 06:39am


I have 2 related questions concerning the nonperformer runoff and the influences ballot. If we were supposed to have 2 nominees go through, why is there a run off in nonferformer? and on a similar note, shouldn't there be a run off in influences between Kitty Wells, Les Paul and Mary Ford, and Ornette Coleman? I'm sure I am just missing something . If so , let me know.

Deacon

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 06:49am


My nomination is Midnight Oil

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 06:50am


I nominate:
Immaculate Fools

Cheers!

Posted by Kenmil on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 07:54am


I nominate Jawbreaker in the performer category.

Posted by Kurtal on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 08:23am

My Classic Alternative/Punk Nominee:
Social Distortion

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 09:28am


Misfits

Posted by Dave on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 11:25am


My nominee is They Might Be Giants. I still want to give the Butthole Surfers a push; but I don't think they'll get any traction.

Posted by Ian on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 11:46am


ntndeacon - As there were already 9 nominees in the Non-Peformers and Influences category (1 tiebreaker loser from 2023 and 8 nominees from the previous 4 rounds), there was only 1 remaining nomination spot available in Round 5, so only the one that received the most votes could qualify in this round.

I apologize if any of my voting instructions (which are copied, pasted and modified each around) were incorrect and misinformed you of the number of spots were available this round.


power - Please choose another nominee for this genre round. As much as Portishead is a worthy candidate for induction in this project, they belong in next week's genre vote, as they are more of a 90s / 21st Century Alternative act than what we're voting on this round, which is 70s and 80s alternative (plus all eras of punk) focused.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 12:16pm


My nomination in the classic alternative election cycle, seeing as this fits the description, is:

Sting

Consider without judgment,

Lax41

Posted by Lax41 on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 13:48pm


Thanks for the clarification , Darren!

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 15:02pm

general nominee:

Gang of Four

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 07/16/2024 @ 21:21pm


My nominee is Bad Religion

Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 07/17/2024 @ 05:24am


My Classic Alternative/Punk nominee is Adam Ant.

Darren - Do you feel the nomination should include his former band Adam & the Ants? It's fine to include them in the nomination but I wanted to ask you before the ballot is finalized. If you feel they should be included, please write it as 'Adam Ant / Adam & the Ants.'

Posted by Rhiannon JM on Wednesday, 07/17/2024 @ 08:33am


Influence: The Raincoats

Posted by Elle Dee on Wednesday, 07/17/2024 @ 08:55am


Elle Dee - Nominations for Non-Performers, Influences and Side Performers are closed because the ballot is complete (as of the completion of tiebreakers). I'll post the full list of nominees for these categories once the tiebreakers are completed.

Rhiannon JM - My personal preference would be to nominate them as "Adam Ant / Adam & the Ants", so I'll add them to the ballot as such unless there is opposition to consider.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 07/17/2024 @ 09:26am


I will nominate Butthole Surfers for this genre performer ballot. They were a key player in the development of the grunge movement and should be considered.

Posted by dmg on Wednesday, 07/17/2024 @ 09:49am


Performer nomination:

The Cranberries

Posted by John R.C. on Wednesday, 07/17/2024 @ 19:37pm

Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 07/17/2024 @ 19:37pm


Scratch that, having just read Darren's clarification above, switch my nomination to

The Sugarcubes

Posted by John R.C. on Wednesday, 07/17/2024 @ 19:39pm


Lots of great nominees so far. I'm going to go with:

Minor Threat

Posted by Ray on Thursday, 07/18/2024 @ 09:05am


Howard Jones is my nominee.

My favorite of his songs is No One is to Blame. Other well known songs of his include: Like to Get to Know You Well, Everlasting Love, New Song, What Is Love?, and Things Can Only Get Better.

I also strongly considered Berlin, Culture Club, Falco, Joe Jackson, Stray Cats, The Bangles, Violent Femmes, and Yazoo.

You accidentally posted the Influence list twice, once as the Side Performers. Just a heads-up.

Posted by Philip on Friday, 07/19/2024 @ 00:37am


Hi Darren,
Regarding the newest non-performer nominee, though he used it early on, especially on his albums, as he got more into producing, Burnett stopped using the "dash" in his name, so I think his name should be listed without it on the ballot: T Bone Burnett
Cheers!
Kenmil

As a result of this round of voting, 10,000 Maniacs and The Human League have been nominated to the 2024 FRL Performers ballot.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 07/22/2024 @ 21:23pm


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

Here is the list of genre votes that we'll be having every other week as part of this project:

COMPLETED - GENRE #1 - Classic Rock/Metal
COMPLETED - GENRE #2 - Classic Alternative/Punk
IN PROGRESS - Modern Rock/Alternative/Indie
GENRE #4 - Folk/Country Rock/Singer-Songwriter
GENRE #5 - R'n'B
GENRE #6 - Electronica
GENRE #7 - Hip Hop
GENRE #8 - Pop
GENRE #9 - World Music


The following artists have already been nominated for the 2024 ballot, either by automatically being nominated as a result of the 2023 vote or by winning a genre vote this year, and don't need to be nominated for this qualifying genre vote:

10,000 Maniacs
Alicia Keys
Amy Winehouse
Blink 182
Boston
Dionne Warwick
Lauryn Hill
Linkin Park
Living Colour
Luther Vandross
No Doubt
Phil Collins
Sinéad O'Connor
Snoop Dogg
The Human League
The Strokes


This week's genre vote is Modern Rock/Alternative/Indie. If there is any confusion, this genre refers to alternative, modern rock and indie music from the 1990s through the present (while accounting for the fact that artists must have at least 10 years since their debut to be eligible for this project).

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

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

Genre nominations will not automatically carry over from one genre to another, nor will eligible nominations from the general vote. All genre nominations will need to be newly nominated during the nomination period.

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.

Gorillaz
Kings Of Leon
Lenny Kravitz
Pulp
St. Vincent
The Cranberries

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 07/23/2024 @ 14:31pm


I nominate Train. Their lead singer Pat Monahan inducted Journey so I think there is a good chance of an eventual nomination by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the next few years.

Posted by Jennifer on Tuesday, 07/23/2024 @ 14:37pm

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 07/23/2024 @ 21:48pm


My nomination goes to Cocteau Twins

Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 07/24/2024 @ 15:33pm


I'll wait for other opinions, but Cocteau Twins (first album 1982, last album 1996) fits better in "Classic Alternative/Punk" (70s and 80s, plus all eras of punk) than in "Modern Rock/Alternative/Indie" (90s and 21st Century).

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 07/24/2024 @ 16:07pm


The Cranberries

Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 07/24/2024 @ 20:21pm


I'll weigh in on Cocteau Twins - I agree with Darren and I don't think they fit the 'Modern Rock' label of that genre. The majority of their output came in the 1980s.

Posted by Dave on Thursday, 07/25/2024 @ 06:36am


Thought about picking Stereolab or Swans, but I'll go with:

Suede

Posted by Ray on Thursday, 07/25/2024 @ 09:42am


Philip - Lax41 has already nominated The Cranberries. Either of you can nominate a different Performer if you like.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 07/25/2024 @ 11:15am


Cocteau Twins put out some of their best received LPs in the 90s. I see them as straddling the decade line and, thus, should be eligible for this poll.

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 07/30/2024 @ 15:52pm


power - Please consider nominating someone else. While Lenny Kravitz may technically write and sing his own songs, "Singer-Songwriter" is a genre more closely associated with Folk, Country and Americana style music and Kravitz' style is more closely associated with Rock and Pop.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 07/30/2024 @ 15:59pm

Dan Fogelberg

Graham Russell writes most of their songs as well as sings and plays guitar. While he sings many beautiful harmonies with his musical partner and lead singer Russell Hitchcock, he also often sings verses of some of their songs himself.

Destiny's Child

Posted by Rhiannon JM on Thursday, 08/8/2024 @ 17:24pm


My pick for this round is Brandy.

From Wikipedia:

"Norwood's vocal stylings have had a significant impact on the music industry, most notably with contemporary R&B, pop and gospel genres, where she is often subjectively referred to as the 'Vocal Bible'. Her work has influenced numerous artists, including Jessie J, JoJo, Bridget Kelly, Olivia, Ariana Grande, Emeli Sandé, Jordin Sparks, Ryan Destiny, Tank, Teyana Taylor, Lil' Mo, Megan Rochell, Jhené Aiko, Eric Bellinger, Chris Brown, Elle Varner, Rihanna, Angel, Normani, and Kehlani while Norwood's vocals have been praised by several of her peers, including Natasha Bedingfield, Missy Elliott, Jennifer Hudson, Syleena Johnson, Gladys Knight, Brian McKnight, Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Tamia, Ty Dolla Sign, Jazmine Sullivan and Tamar Braxton among others. Additionally, on many occasions, Norwood has been thought of as a talented artist that music producers and songwriters have used to enhance their own artistic and creative energies.

Songwriter Sean Garrett credits the vocal work on the album Full Moon for his approach to writing, saying 'I take a lot from what [Brandy] and Rodney did on the Full Moon album. I was extremely impressed with it and I always try to outdo that album'. B.Slade spoke of the album, commenting Full Moon single-handedly changed the vocal game. 'It has been the template for vocal choices and background vocal arrangements [for years].' R&B singer Melanie Fiona, especially admired the singer's work on that album. Neo soul singer India.Arie often cites the album, particularly the song 'He Is' as being the template for a wide array of singers. The oft-praised vocal work on the album sparked the idea of Norwood gaining the subjective nickname the 'vocal bible'. Canadian R&B singer Keshia Chanté credited the album for inspiring her writing for her album Night & Day, while American singer Luke James referred to Full Moon as the "bible" of 2000s contemporary R&B, calling it the 'blueprint of how to do vocals.'

Afrodisiac has been credited as one of predecessors to the Alternative R&B subgenre. In a 2014 music and fashion conversation with NPR, singer and model Solange discussed the album, saying 'Brandy is really the foundation of a lot of this very innovative, progressive, experimental R&B. Brandy really influenced a lot of that. Frank Ocean will say it. Miguel will say it.' In an interview with MalcolmMusic, Miguel revealed that he was a 'huge fan growing up', stating that Brandy had 'killed it from the first album'.

American neo soul singer Erykah Badu noted that her 1997 debut album, Baduizm, was partly influenced by Norwood's debut album, while Barbadian singer Rihanna said of her 2007 album Good Girl Gone Bad, '[Brandy] really helped inspire that album. I listened to [Afrodisiac] every day [while in the studio].' Kelly Rowland cited Norwood, who also wrote and produced for Rowland's debut album, as one of the inspirations for her second studio album Ms. Kelly (2007). John Frusciante, guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, cited Norwood as the 'main inspiration' behind the guitar work on Red Hot Chili Peppers' 2006 album, Stadium Arcadium. When discussing the work on her debut project H.E.R., singer H.E.R., who worked with the producer DJ Camper, revealed that Brandy was a "huge inspiration" to her, and that her being inspired Brandy impacted her musical output."

Posted by Darren on Monday, 08/26/2024 @ 23:55pm


My nominee is Adele.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 08/26/2024 @ 23:56pm


my nominee is going to be someone i already nominated twice during this process. Stevie Nicks while a bit more to the rock side there's enough pop in her compared to Fleetwood Mac which became more pop oriented after she joined.

Posted by 0pac big on Tuesday, 08/27/2024 @ 01:01am


My nominee is Britney Spears.

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 08/27/2024 @ 01:05am


I nominate Lenny Kravitz

Posted by power on Tuesday, 08/27/2024 @ 01:49am


My nomination:

Mitski

Posted by John R.C. on Tuesday, 08/27/2024 @ 01:58am


My nomination is:

Tatsuro Yamashita

In my mind, there is no greater pop artist than Yamashita, and he deserves to be recognized as such, rather than under a category like World Music. If Michael is the "King of Pop", then surely Tatsuro must be the "Emperor of Pop". He is well deserving of recognition and induction as one of the greatest pop musicians.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Tuesday, 08/27/2024 @ 04:19am


I'm nominating Pop Nomination....Sheena Easton.


A KING FAV from the 1980's. She has several hit songs.

KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 08/27/2024 @ 05:10am


My nominee is Herman's Hermits.

They are one of the last of the 1st "British Invasion" bands that should be inducted in the Rock Hall of Fame.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 08/27/2024 @ 09:08am


My Pop Nominee:
Petula Clark

Petula Clark is one of my favorite 1960s singers.

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 08/27/2024 @ 10:02am


Lot of great nominations so far. We don't have much 70's represented so I'll nominate:

John Denver

A lot of people forget how many pop hits he had and how even though he was never considered "cool" he was massively popular throughout most of that decade.

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 08/27/2024 @ 10:10am


I'll nominate the always underrated KC and the Sunshine Band.

This is shaping up to be a really solid ballot.

Posted by Chris Lyons on Thursday, 08/29/2024 @ 10:40am


So many Great Nominee choices by Everyone! It will be hard for me to narrow the choices down when it comes time to vote.

Posted by Jennifer on Thursday, 08/29/2024 @ 11:53am


Chris Lyons, the Shangri-Las are already inducted. You can choose someone else if you want.

Happy to help,

Lax41

Posted by Lax41 on Thursday, 08/29/2024 @ 16:51pm

As Selena is currently involved in the tiebreaker vote for the Pop genre vote, if she is nominated, I will change my nomination to a candidate that hasn't been nominated previously, or not nominate someone for this genre if there isn't a remaining candidate to my liking.

Nominee: Os Mutantes

Posted by Ozma on Tuesday, 09/3/2024 @ 06:14am

So I would like to campaign for one artist in particular, someone who I didn't even nominate...and that's Selena. The fact that she isn't in already is insane, but now we have to chance to remedy that.

Selena is a cultural icon who remains just as relevant today as she was 30 years ago. In some communities, she's practically a saint. She is probably the most influential Mexican-American musician of her generation, and she has earned the title of "Queen of Tejano." She helped make latin pop mainstream and STILL influences young women of all races and nationalities. Her legacy cannot be understated. Can any of us argue that Shakira or Jennifer Lopez would ever have made it stateside without Selena first forging the way?

I might be rambling at this point, so forgive me...but it's time to give Selena her flowers and induct her into this pantheon, where she belongs!

Viva Selena!

Raichu - I'll double-check your nomination numbers if I get time. I can at least tell you that Boogie Down Productions was nominated last year, so they are on their second nomination.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 09/10/2024 @ 12:10pm


Some of my FAVS like Bryan Adams, Counting Crows, Lenny Kravitz, Scorpions etc did not make the cut again. I'm open to the best cases to be made. I will be voting for 4 of the music artists listed.
1. 10,000 Maniacs
2. Alicia Keys
3. Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
4. Phil Collins

10,000 Maniacs
I'm really surprised 10,000 Maniacs was nominated considering the depth of talent in the Alternative Genre. Natalie Merchant is 1 of my FAV Vocalists of all-time. I think songs like Because The Night, Candy Everybody Wants, These Are Days, What's The Matter Here? are Classic songs that still resonate today. I respected that 10,000 Maniacs tackled social issues or topics in their music. No doubt, Natalie Merchant with her success and talent probably influenced later groups to have a female lead singer fronting a band. 10,000 Maniacs are still underrated to me.

ALICIA KEYS
I remember over 20 years ago first watching Alicia Keys perform on 1 of the late shows. A very attractive excellent singer playing the piano expertly. She had the total package as a performer and superstar. Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston I remember feeling the same way. I was blown away which doesn't happen often. Alicia has had a successful music career avoiding many of the pitfalls that have destroyed other great musicians. I don't know if she will be inducted but I'm voting for her this cycle.

OMD
Another KING FAV similar to 10,000 Maniacs. OMD has easily been around 40+ years. I was surprised they earned a nomination. Most music fans remember their smash hit If You Leave from Pretty In Pink in the mid 80's. I like the song So In Love. Great song and video. They have some representation in the projects here. I'm not the biggest fan of synth Pop or synth Rock but OMD is exceptionally good. Honestly, it's going to be difficult for OMD to earn induction this cycle considering the competition.

PHIL COLLINS

It's just Phil Collins time to be inducted here in the FRL Project. He's 1 of the biggest stars not inducted here. Anybody who was alive in the 1980's and early 1990's knows Phil Collins was ubiquitous during that time. Songs with Genesis and Solo. So many hits Against All Odds, In The Air Tonight, Sussudio, Easy Lover with Bailey, Wish It Would Rain Down, etc. He also was at both Live Aid concerts amazingly taking the Concorde I believe to make both shows. Phil Collins has been battling different health problems and in his 70's now. I hope he is inducted soon.

KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 09/10/2024 @ 14:31pm


There's some strong competition in the Influences category, but I'd like to make a pitch for Johnnie Ray.

From Wikipedia:

"Highly popular for most of the 1950s, Ray has been cited by critics as a major precursor to what became rock and roll, for his jazz and blues-influenced music, and his animated stage personality. Tony Bennett called Ray the 'father of rock and roll', and historians have noted him as a pioneering figure in the development of the genre. [....] British Hit Singles & Albums noted that Ray was 'a sensation in the 1950s; the heart-wrenching vocal delivery of "Cry" ... influenced many acts including Elvis, and was the prime target for teen hysteria in the pre-Presley days.' Ray's dramatic stage performances and melancholic songs have been credited by music historians as precursory to later performers ranging from Leonard Cohen to Morrissey."

Posted by Ray on Tuesday, 09/10/2024 @ 16:29pm


Here's where I'm leaning for my artist vote at the moment. I'd love to hear a case for anyone not on the list:

Amy Winehouse
Boogie Down Productions
King Sunny Ade
Lauryn Hill
Lucinda Williams
No Doubt
Patti LaBelle
Selena
Snoop Dogg
Tracy Chapman

Posted by Kurtal on Wednesday, 09/11/2024 @ 08:01am


So, here is where I stand with the 60 nominees for the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall of Fame Project.

On my ballot

Adele
Phil Collins
Linkin Park
Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark
Dionne Warwick
Steve Lillywhite
Diane Warren
Fats Waller
Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson

Seriously considering for my ballot

Boston
Tracy Chapman
Lauryn Hill
Sinead O'Connor
Selena
Luther Vandross
Amy Winehouse
Steve Albini
Jack Antonoff
D.A. Pennebaker
Tony Bennett
John Mayall
Jennifer Batten
Lesley Duncan
James Jamerson
Biz Markie

50-50 chance

10,000 Maniacs
Snoop Dogg
The Human League
Alicia Keys
Neil Sedaka
T Bone Burnett
Suzanne de Passe
Linda Perry
Tony Visconti
Ellie Greenwich

Maybe, but not enough to convince me

King Sunny Ade
Blink-182
Patti Labelle
Living Color
Moby
Janelle Monae
No Doubt
St. Vincent
Lucinda Williams
Bert Berns
Benny Goodman
Sun Ra
Bootsy Collins

Cannot see myself voting for them

Arctic Monkeys
Boogie Down Productions
The Roots
The Strokes
The Andrews Sisters
Blind Willie Johnson
Charles Mingus
Buck Owens
Johnnie Ray
Steve Gadd
The Ikettes
Zakk Wylde

Perhaps the most astounding surprise is that 3 artists and/or groups I had put into the nominated process got nominated. Phil Collins, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark and Steve Lillywhite. All 3 will be on my ballot. And within that context, OMD getting nominated was something I never expected. Even so, I do hope OMD gets in this year. Right up there with Sparks in that they are a duo who have not that much notability yet are influential to anyone that hears them.

My direction, my proposal,

Lax41

Posted by Lax41 on Wednesday, 09/11/2024 @ 19:32pm


Here's what I was able to put together for the list of nominated performers that have yet to be inducted.

Please keep in mind, this only dates back to 2018, the first year that we used the current nomination and ballot method to induct new classes.

Each Performer's count includes their 2024 nomination if they were nominated this year.

Posted by Denis on Saturday, 09/14/2024 @ 14:57pm


I thought I would second what Lax said about Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark: one of the early synth-pop acts, the original "synth duo", and a pioneering band that influenced a wide range of acts that followed, both commercially and from the underground. The A.V. Club called them "one of the earliest synthesizer-driven bands to break out of the post-punk scene and lead the charge toward the defining sound of the [1980s]." PopMatters identified their first three albums as giving "credibility to ambitious pop" and "led to the emergence of a generation of electronic bands." Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and Erasure was inspired to become an electronic musician after hearing their music, and Moby called them "synth heroes" while also crediting them as a main factor in choosing to make electronic music. In the process of transitioning the band from Joy Division to New Order, Bernard Sumner credited OMD with helping him see that one "could make music without guitars." James Mercer of the Shins and Broken Bells once said that "OMD are an integral thread in my musical history. You can hear them in my melodic sensibilities and at times in our production... I'll always love them." Other artists influenced by them include the Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, NIN, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Orbital, No Doubt, the Killers, MGMT, LCD Soundsystem, and producer Mark Ronson. They've also been sampled by hip-hop artists like Kid Cudi and Lushlife.

Alicia Keys, Adele, and The Strokes got more votes than Selena? What a joke

Posted by Chris Lyons on Monday, 09/23/2024 @ 23:38pm


Oofda. Another year, another passing over of Fats Waller. I guess I should have campaigned for him, but this is an egregious oversight on our part. He's gotta be pushing into Chic territory for number of times he's been on the ballot. Put a Detroit Lions cap on him.... because next year is gonna be his year, just wait and see...

Posted by Philip on Tuesday, 09/24/2024 @ 01:47am


Nooooo! How did Selena lose out? :(

Ah well, on to next year. Good to see Sun Ra get in, though.

Posted by dmg on Tuesday, 09/24/2024 @ 11:11am


Selena came extremely close this year, finishing one vote shy of the tiebreaker, getting 14 votes (up from 10 in 2023). She definitely seems to be trending towards induction next year, so good luck to her supporters and remember that even though we're about a hundred artists ahead of the Rock Hall, it's still incredibly difficult to get inducted into this project.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 09/24/2024 @ 12:47pm


I might be in the minority...but I like all four of the performer choices in this year's tiebreaker. All important and worthy in their own right. Let's not disparage artists, even if you don't like the results.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 09/24/2024 @ 17:50pm


Congrats to Boston, Dionne Warwick, Lauryn Hill, Phil Collins, Snoop Dogg on their inductions. A very strong class already. Plus, 2 more soon with the tiebreakers.
Sorry Chris Lyons that Selena was not inducted this year. Selena did collect 14 votes. Very high number. In some years, 14 votes would earn induction. You did a nice write-up during the artist support week for Selena. That probably swayed a few voters to vote for Selena this cycle. We had a similar discussion last year when some Lauryn Hill fans were frustrated she didn't earn induction. Lauryn Hill earned induction here in 2024. Selena is trending up. Hope you stick here with the projects. Just about everybody has been frustrated 1 time or another. Whether it be a Song, Album, or Artist. Remember only 7 Artists earn induction out of 30 Nominees. That's around 25%. Several great artists have to wait another year. I believe it's like a small family here. Some of us have been here over a decade. Sure some disagreements and discussion can happen from time to time. It's done with careful thought and respect. Good luck to Selena next year. KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 09/24/2024 @ 18:58pm


Actually, my records show that Selena only got 5 votes in 2023, so this is a huge leap forward for her and a great sign for her chances in the future.

Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to all of this year's inductees!

I'll be posting instructions for rule change suggestions shortly. When that process and any necessary voting is done, we'll have completed this year's process and pick things back up next summer for the 2025 Class.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 09/26/2024 @ 22:24pm


Out of curiosity, are Adele and The Strokes automatically nominated for next years go-round?

Posted by Ian on Friday, 09/27/2024 @ 08:13am


Another great class. I love that the last few classes have really embraced women and hip hop artists -- a trend I would love to see the actual Rock Hall pick up with the same levels of eagerness. Next year I'll be pulling for Selena, Tracy Chapman, and Lucinda Williams to continue their ascents, and I'd love to see Alanis Morissette back in the conversation.

Thank you Darren for all of the work you put into this project.

Posted by Kurtal on Friday, 09/27/2024 @ 08:30am


Was hoping The Strokes would pull through, but they did not.

Happy Zakk Wylde got in at least.

Overall, this is a sold class. It has a lot of variety in terms of genre.

Posted by Raichu on Friday, 09/27/2024 @ 08:34am


Ian - Yes they are. I forgot that detail on the initial announcement, but added it in the next one. Tiebreaker losers are always automatically added to the next year's ballot, regardless of category.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 09/27/2024 @ 11:47am


The floor is now open for rule change suggestions for the project starting in 2025.

If you have any suggestions for potential rule changes or changes to the nomination genres, please bring them up at this time and we will sort out which ones can be voted on as potential rule changes.

The deadline for proposals to be made is Thursday the 3rd at 8 PM Central.

Posted by Darren on Friday, 09/27/2024 @ 16:17pm


I'm gonna propose something I've proposed before, and that is adding more than 7 performer inductees per year, specifically 8. With how much of a backlog of artists we have, especially artists that should've been way before some of the actual inductees, changing the numbers from 7 to 8 could help with getting rid of the backlog. We don't even have to use it all the time, maybe only do it every 2 or 3 years for consistency.

Posted by Raichu on Friday, 09/27/2024 @ 16:58pm


I would definitely vote "Yes" to Raichu's proposal of increasing the number of performer inductees per year. I wanna add a proposal of my own: Increasing the number of Influence inductees per year, from 3 to a minimum of 5 or 6.

Rock n' roll music has a large number of influencers who helped mold this great music into what it is today. I'm not saying 5-6 Influence acts inducted per year will solve the problem outright, but it could free up the backlog of deserving acts that haven't yet earned their rightful place. That's how I feel about things.

Posted by Johnny on Friday, 09/27/2024 @ 23:30pm


How is Zakk Wylde inducted? Did I miss something?

Posted by HitmanHart on Saturday, 09/28/2024 @ 13:37pm


1) Anyone have a list of the top vote-getters to never receive induction? Wire unquestionably held that title for years and years and years.

2) Could someone post the list of all the real-life inductees that we haven't inducted? It's not a very long list.

Posted by Casper on Saturday, 09/28/2024 @ 15:28pm


HitmanHart: The side performer tiebreaker

Posted by dmg on Saturday, 09/28/2024 @ 17:02pm


Pretty much THE hard and fast rule ever since this began is 7 inductees and I don't think that will or should change.
There is really not that big of a backlog in my opinion anyway.

Posted by jtrichey on Saturday, 09/28/2024 @ 21:57pm


Agree with jtrichey on 7 is the perfect number of inductees. There have been proposals to expand the inductees over the years to 8 or 10. The FRL Regulars and New Voters have voted it down. I believe 7 is the perfect number. Last few classes have plenty of women inductees. You could have 10 or 12 Inductee classes and there would still be people frustrated and angry their FAV group wasn't inducted. The jtrichey has been an important voter over the years in the FRL Projects and has a good pulse on things. I personally believe the Scorpions is 1 of my FAVS that should earn induction. Have sold around 100 million records world wide. Global music band. Signature songs like No One Like You, Rock You Like A Hurricane, Send Me An Angel, Still Loving You, The Zoo, Wind Of Change etc. Would also like to see 999, 10,000 Maniacs/Natalie Merchant, Black Crowes, Bryan Adams, Counting Crows, L.A. Guns, Queensryche, etc earn induction. KING

Posted by KING on Saturday, 09/28/2024 @ 23:46pm


Casper, I believe it is a VERY short list.

It was just The Dells I believe though someone inducted in Cleveland in the last 2 or 3 years may not be in ours yet.

Posted by jtrichey on Sunday, 09/29/2024 @ 19:32pm


The artists inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but not here are:

Irving Azoff
Bert Berns
Jimmy Buffett
The Dells
The Faces
Peter Frampton
Allen Grubman
Chaka Khan
Don Kirshner
Jon Landau
Smokey Robinson
Percy Sledge
The Small Faces
Ringo Starr

The artists that have been nominated by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but aren't inducted here are:

The Chantels
The J. Geils Band
Ben E. King
Lenny Kravitz
Los Lobos
John Prine
The Sir Douglas Quintet
Sting
Joe Tex
Conway Twitty
Steve Winwood

Posted by Ozma on Sunday, 09/29/2024 @ 20:43pm


I forget to include that Stevie Nicks also isn't inducted here.

Posted by Ozma on Monday, 09/30/2024 @ 06:14am


Smokey Robinson was inducted as The Miracles with Smokey Robinson in the Rock Hall Revisited project.

The Hall's induction of Robinson was for his work with the Miracles - they had to induct the Miracles later to correct their "Front Man Fever" oversight.

Posted by dmg on Monday, 09/30/2024 @ 09:25am


So far, we have the following proposals that will be turned into official polls:

1. Increase the number of Performer inductees.

2. Increase the number of Influence inductees.

I'm seeing a movie tonight (Joker 2), so I'll create the polls for these and any other ideas that are proposed before 8 PM Central after I get back home.

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 10/5/2024 @ 18:30pm


Also, I think Darren mentioned early in the voting this year of possibility voting on of having next year just be general votes as opposed to mostly specialty votes like most years. Is that still something that is being considered for voting on this year?

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 10/5/2024 @ 18:47pm


Voting ends tonight (Monday) at 8 PM Central.

I'm not planning to have a vote to have a "General Votes Only" year next year. There didn't seem to be much interest and after the genre results this year, I didn't think it would be necessary. We can consider it again after next year if interest increases.

Next year will be the standard odd-number year schedule of genre votes followed by general votes to complete the ballot.

No - 14
Yes - 5


As a result of these votes, neither suggestion will be implemented next year.


This concludes the annual FRL Re-visited / Projected process for 2024.


We'll reconvene sometime late next spring or early next summer for the Class of 2025.

James Jamerson was inducted in 2000 and needs blue text (and link to his page).

Posted by dmg on Tuesday, 10/15/2024 @ 21:05pm


Drake is our biggest mainstream snub, no question. We need to just rip off that Band-Aid, even if users here don't care for the music.

Small Faces-Faces is also an interesting issue. They're just not really seen as Hall-worthy on their own but if we went along with the Rock Hall's controversial decision to combine them, I figure they'd get the votes.

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

Nominations are now open for the Newly Eligible Artists (Not Yet Eligible For The RNR HOF (2001-2015)) vote.

Technically, this vote is a General vote, but unlike other general votes, there is a limitation placed on this vote.

For this vote, only artists that were not yet eligible for the most recent class of nominees and inductees into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame are eligible for nomination (artists must still have at least 10 years since their first recording to qualify for this project, so the eligibility years in question are between 2001 and 2015).

The following performers have already been nominated for the 2025 Performers ballot:

Adele
The Strokes


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

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on Thursday the 19th.

At approximately 8 PM Central on Thursday, I'll post the list of nominees on this board for review. Please let me know if there are any errors.

At approximately 8 PM Central on Friday, I'll post the link to the google poll.

Nick,
Bernard Purdie is inducted already (class of 1997)

Posted by MichaelEU on Thursday, 06/12/2025 @ 22:17pm


My Performer Nominee for this round is Katy Perry.

My nominee for this round is an artist who has had 9 #1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as another 4 in the Top 5. Because her music really resonates with audiences around the world, she is one of the best selling artists of all time which includes a rare RIAA Diamond certfied album for Teenage Dream. She also became the first artist to have three songs receive Diamond certifications from the RIAA in 2017 with "Dark Horse", "Firework", and "Roar". Six years later, the RIAA certified "California Gurls" as her fourth diamond-certified single in the U.S., breaking her tie with Lady Gaga as the female artist with the most diamond singles.

My personal experience with one of her #1 diamond certified songs happened while I was playing the role of a realtor at a realtor's conference while working on the 2nd season of the former Fox TV show Welcome to Flatch. Part of my job that day was to learn the words to Katy Perry's song Roar so we could sing along to it when our Emmy winning actress Jaime Pressly sang it in a karaoke scene. LOL

I did a search on both project pages and thought it was odd his name was not popping up. Thanks for the heads up on that one.

Geez, this is amateur hour on my part. I didn't see MichaelEU already nominated Michael Brecker.

My Sideman nomination is Ray Parker Jr.

He had success with Raydio and as a solo artist, but he was one a session guitarist and songwriter on many tracks for big artists over the years (Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Herbie Hancock among others).

MichaelEU - Billie Eilish's first recording was in 2016 and she won't be eligible for this project until next year.

jtrichey - We changed the rule prior to last year's nominations. Now it's any performer that is eligible for FRL, but not for the RNRHOF.

About Billie Eilish. "Open Eyes" was released on Soundcloud in November 2015. This is how we inducted it in the Song Project.

If we go with 2016 nonetheless, I will change my nomination of course.

Posted by MichaelEU on Friday, 06/13/2025 @ 23:54pm


I think we need to be consistent with FRL's page (https://futurerocklegends.com/Artist/Billie_Eilish/) and go with 2016. What does everyone else think?

I'm not sure about my other nominations yet. I need to do a little more research.

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 06/14/2025 @ 22:48pm


I change my performer nomination to Amy Winehouse.

I'm sure that Billie's time will come soon enough.

Posted by MichaelEU on Sunday, 06/15/2025 @ 05:05am


I lean towards accepting the Soundcloud date and saying Billie first released a recording in 2015.

Posted by Ray on Sunday, 06/15/2025 @ 09:31am


Darren, in this case I would agree Billie Eilish would be considered 2016. It can be difficult to parse the true debut. Some bands might be together for 5 years before they get signed and release something.
Since the site we are on takes the trouble to say when an artist becomes eligible, I think we have no real choice but than to abide by that.

Posted by jtrichey on Sunday, 06/15/2025 @ 20:04pm


I'm going to say that going forward, we're going to match FRL's years for initial eligibility, so Billie Eilish won't be eligible until 2026.

As has been previously stated, it can get murky when you start considering things like mixtapes and soundcloud recordings, so we'll defer to our home-base website's standards of eligibility.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 06/16/2025 @ 16:35pm

Looking at the list of nominees I noticed the Neptunes who are already inducted on the list of non-performers.

Posted by 0pac big on Thursday, 06/19/2025 @ 22:48pm


Since the Neptunes are inducted can I switch to DJ Premier if it's not too late?

RyTheSensation - Yes, I'll change your nomination to DJ Premier.

My Influence Nomination:
Dave Brubeck

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 06/24/2025 @ 13:22pm


My nominee: Mercyful Fate (If they're considered classic)

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 06/24/2025 @ 14:25pm


Classic rock nominee: The J. Geils Band


PS - I am new and just registered today. Hello!

Posted by Mason on Tuesday, 06/24/2025 @ 14:38pm


Mason - Welcome to the project! It's always good to see new voters!

Raichu - This particular category is Classic Rock and Metal. There's no requirement for the Metal bands to be from the Classic Rock era, as contemporary Metal bands are eligible as well, so Mercyful Fate definitely qualifies as Metal.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 06/24/2025 @ 14:48pm

Humble Pie

Posted by John R.C. on Tuesday, 06/24/2025 @ 18:15pm


Performer - Sweet

Non-Performer - Van Dyke Parks

Posted by joker on Tuesday, 06/24/2025 @ 19:10pm


Performer: Raspberries

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 06/24/2025 @ 19:36pm


My nominee in the Classic Rock/Metal category is:

Steve Hackett

A bit of an explanation. This year marks 50 years since Hackett released his first album on his own, Voyage of the Acolyte. In the years since, Steve Hackett has done more than 30 albums, held numerous concerts, and has kept alive the spirit of progressive art rock and impeccable guitar playing and songwriting. All of this without ever having a hit record, the closest being his collaboration with Steve Howe under the GTR banner 'When the Heart Rules the Mind" (no. 14 on the Hot 100 in 1986.) As well, it is Hackett who has done the most records from someone in Genesis. And often has been the one ex-member to still perform their deep catalogue of 1970-1977.

It has long been a project of mine to one day have not just Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins be inducted here and the RRHOF (Collins pending) on their own and with Genesis, but to have all 5 of the inducted members go in both here and the RRHOF individually. Of course, it may be a slim chance of that happening. However, Steve Hackett's output and influence on his own in and of itself is worthy of consideration to the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall Project, with hopefully an induction this year. Please, then, consider the candidacy of Steve Hackett with open ears and an interest in art rock.

Anxiously awaiting the new Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Atmos mixes and packaging, provided Peter Gabriel understands the concept of time,

Lax42

I'll put up Mott the Hoople for the rock category. No other categories for now.

Posted by SotN on Thursday, 06/26/2025 @ 13:00pm


Performer: Meat Loaf
Side Performer change to Neverland Express

I also considered Huey Lewis and the News as my performer nominee.

Posted by Jennifer on Thursday, 06/26/2025 @ 17:55pm


We're really starting to draw dead in the Classic Rock category but someone should definitely nominate Little Feat since I used up a pick on Madness.

Consolidation should probably be considered going forward. Heck, at this point, maybe just have everything 50s-70s in one big 'ol category and break up the rest by genre for the 80s and beyond.

Posted by Casper on Thursday, 06/26/2025 @ 20:17pm


I don't see why Madness would be nominated for the Classic Rock genre vote. They're much better suited for the Classic Alternative or just plain Pop categories as far as I'm concerned.

Casper, I disagree. Can't speak for anyone else, but this was a tough Performers ballot for me, where I had to narrow something like 15 names down to 8. Multiple real Hall inductees there, as well as others previously nominated / publicly discussed as potential candidates right now for the real Hall.

And here are some other names on my radar in the "classic rock" category:

Blue Cheer
Budgie
Camel
Nico
Rory Gallagher
Soft Machine
The 13th Floor Elevators
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
Uriah Heep
Van der Graaf Generator
Vanilla Fudge
Wishbone Ash

Probably forgetting some names there.

Some of these I've been pushing / wanting to push, off and on, for over a decade now.

Honestly, I'm glad these and other names are getting their chance to have their time in the sun, though they have to share the spotlight with the metal acts now. Maybe I'm alone here, but I think there's still plenty of juice left to squeeze here, at least for the time being.

Posted by Ray on Monday, 06/30/2025 @ 15:15pm


To jump off of what Ray said. This category is already a consolidation as well. There are also plenty of quality metal picks that could be made beyond the few that were made this year. A couple that spring to mind...
Korn (which i almost picked instead of Rainbow)
Lamb of God
Ghost
Sepulchra
Mastodon
Type O Negative
Testament
Slipknot
System of a Down
Death

Others could probably find other worthy names that I missed.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 06/30/2025 @ 23:43pm


My vote for Classic Alternative/Punk is .....
999

KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 00:14am


My classic punk/alternative nominee is Gang of Four.

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 00:53am


My Classic alternative/punk nominee is Grace Jones

Posted by 0pac big on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 01:21am


My vote for classic alternative/punk is Iggy Pop solo.

Posted by Corey Finn on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 05:33am


My Classic Alternative Nominee is Simple Minds

Simple Minds has one iconic song, but they are so much more than "(Don't You) Forget About Me." They are one of the most unsung and consistent bands of their era who made great music.

I also considered Joe Jackson, The Bangles, and Squeeze this round. I hope someone else nominates any one of them. All worthy of consideration.

I'll think of some replacement nominees in the other categories later today.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 06:28am

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 09:45am


I am keeping my nominees among the Non-Performers, Influences and Side Performers categories. My nominee in the Classic Alternative/Punk category is:

Joe Jackson

Comparable to Elvis Costello but with a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor,

Lax42

Posted by Lax42 on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 12:15pm


Classic Alternative Nominee: The Bangles

I also considered Culture Club and Howard Jones.

Posted by Jennifer on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 15:16pm


Performer: Gary Numan

Sidemen: Bobbye Hall

Glad to see Doris Troy make it, what will it take for Mingus to win?

If Don Kirshner & Al Nevins win I'll choose Tom Wilson.

Posted by Ozma on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 15:19pm


Man, this is already looking like a TOUGH ballot. I'd be all onboard for Howard Jones myself, but I'll go another nominee:

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 22:23pm


Performer ballot nomination

Pussy Riot

as punk as you can get aside form the 1970s inventors.

An area where we are lacking I believe is British rock and I thought about several bands for this category that don't quite fit in I don't think:

Hawkwind
Sweet
Slade
Wishbone Ash
Uriah Heep
Badfinger
Madness

All of these were much more popular in the UK but still known in America and very influential to future artists both in the US and UK

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 07/1/2025 @ 22:54pm


My Classic Punk/Alternative Nominee is Dinosaur Jr.
I considered Primal Scream, The Minutemen and Public Image LTD. as well.

My Sidemen Nominee is Mike Watt
My Influence Nominee is Desmond Dekker
My Non Performer Nominee is Ryan Schreiber (Founder of Pitchfork, kind of started the boom of online music journalism for better or worse)

Posted by Andy on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 01:16am


Influences Nominee: Albert Collins

Side Performers Nominee: Carlos Alomor


Albert Collins - Known as the "Master of the Telecaster," the great electric blues guitarist Albert Collins had a very distinctive sound and influenced the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top, and Robert Cray. He also worked with a lot of greats such as B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, and David Bowie.

Carlos Alomor - Best known for his frequent collaborations with David Bowie; in fact, Alomar played on more Bowie albums than any musician. He worked with a ton of great artists including Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, Iggy Pop, The Bee Gees, Alicia Keys, Bruno Mars, Cyndi Lauper, Carly Simon, and Duran Duran's offshoot Arcadia.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 06:42am


I'll nominate 10,000 Maniacs for this round. My other noms will remain the same.

Posted by Michael W. on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 09:21am


My performer nominee is Bikini Kill.

Other artists that I strongly considered:

Adam Ant / Adam & the Ants
Blink 182
Fishbone
Grace Jones
Madness
Ministry
Minor Threat
Misfits
Social Distortion
The English Beat
The Human League
They Might Be Giants
Violent Femmes

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 11:00am


My non-performer nominee is Diane Warren.

My influence nominee is Benny Goodman.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 11:04am


Notably, my nomination of Diane Warren is conditional on Jack Antonoff winning the tiebreaker, so if someone else wants to nominate her to make sure she's on the ballot no matter what, please feel free to do so.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 11:05am


Darren: I'll take the nominee for you. I have spaces for all other categories, so I'll nominate Diane Warren as my non-performer.

Posted by SotN on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 11:37am


Lots of great nominees already, but I'm going to go with:

Minor Threat

I'll always remember a show I went to see around 2017 or thereabouts, a small local show held in someone's house. My cousin was fronting a punk band at the time, here playing a supporting role at what turned out to be their final show before they broke up, so it turned out to be the first and last time I got a chance to see them play live. The headlining act was another punk band from out of state, and someone in the crowd shouted for them to play Minor Threat. The vocalist said they might if they were nice about it or something, and so later on they went ahead and covered, from memory, their song "Minor Threat." Just goes to underscore how Minor Threat have continued to stay relevant and influential even today.

Posted by Ray on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 11:43am


Nick B., Carlos Alomar is already inducted into the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall Project in the Side Performers category. You have availability to choose another artist if you so choose.

Suggestions are welcomed,

Lax42

Posted by Lax42 on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 12:43pm


Performer: The Fall

Non-performer (if Tony Visconti is elected): Guy Stevens

Posted by MichaelEU on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 14:00pm


I searched his name on this page and his name didn't appear (at first), which I thought was weird.

I'll nominate Nicolette Larson as my replacement Side Performers nominee.

Before her breakout hit "Lotta Love," she was a session singer who worked with the likes of Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Rondstadt. She can be heard on the Doobie Brothers' 'Minute by Minute' too. She had her hand in a lot of great music across different genres and styles in her short life.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 16:58pm

The Human League

Posted by John R.C. on Wednesday, 07/2/2025 @ 18:41pm

Dayum. Cocteau Twins absolutely killed it in that vote. I think they've been our biggest oversight for literal decades as far as an act that was seemingly missing from the discussion. They're an obvious inductee in comparison to the other acts of the indie realm that we've enshrined.

Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 07/8/2025 @ 19:43pm


My nominee is Yo La Tengo. Criminal that they haven't been inducted yet.

Performer nomination: Paramore

Posted by John R.C. on Thursday, 07/10/2025 @ 04:56am


I'll nominate Hole this round.

I'll also swap my sideman nominee to Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson

Posted by Andy on Thursday, 07/10/2025 @ 10:17am


Why Questlove? What has he done outside of The Roots?

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 07/10/2025 @ 12:00pm


@Greg F

Beyond The Roots' own output (which there's probably a case for too) and their backing work, I'm also thinking of his work in assembling the Soulquarians band for D'Angelo, Erykah Badu and Common among others. He's played on and produced a ton of highly regarded R & B albums, plus he's done some work with Rock Hall Projected Inductee Fiona Apple too.

I think between the people he's backed up with The Roots and the session work with and without the Soulquarians, there's a case for separating him from The Roots like people have done with James Jamerson going in without the other Funk Brothers and the recent nomination of Mike Campbell outside of The Heartbreakers.

Sorry for being long winded, I've been on this train of thought for a couple years so I figured I lay out my case in a little more detail.

Posted by Andy on Thursday, 07/10/2025 @ 13:59pm


Not for nothing, but Questlove made the ballot last year as well, so it's hardly unprecedented.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 07/10/2025 @ 15:51pm


Performer: Elliott Smith

Posted by Ray on Thursday, 07/10/2025 @ 16:40pm


I'm going to take a gamble and switch my Non-Performer nominee from D.A. Pennebaker to Allee Willis.

She was a great songwriter who wrote or co-wrote many hits including -

Earth, Wind & Fire's "September," "In the Stone" and "Boogie Wonderland"
Pet Shop Boys featuring Dusty Springfield's "What Have I Done to Deserve This?"
The Rembrandts' "I'll Be There For You" (aka, the "Friends" theme song)
The Pointer Sisters' "Neutron Dance"
Patti LaBelle's "Stir It Up"
Joe Esposito's "You're the Best"
Maxine Nightingale's "Lead Me On"
The Color Purple Musical Adaptation

She worked with so many great artists, the list can go on and on. She later became an art director for music videos.

She was inducted into the Songwriters HOF and the Women Songwriters HOF.

She was the subject of a recent documentary - "The World According to Allee Willis."

Animal Collective was also nominated for the ballot. If it's too late to add them to the ballot it's ok.

Posted by Greg F on Saturday, 07/12/2025 @ 11:28am


Definitely going to be going "full indie" with my final ballot. Can already vote for Bikini Kill, Cocteau Twins and The Strokes and presumably 1 or 2 will be announced from this ballot's results as well. Throw in some perennial(s) via free-for-all voting like St. Vincent or Lana Del Rey (if they miss this cut) and there's my Performers ballot.

Posted by Chris Lyons on Wednesday, 07/16/2025 @ 22:41pm


The side musician category is slowly driving me crazy. It seems like a "musical excellence" thing, maybe it's time to call it this way.

Questlove, Frampton, J.J. Cale, Nicolette Larson, Brian Setzer (?), Doris Troy, Bruce Hornsby, Bootsy Collins, Ray Parker Jr.,...

All of these have their own contributions in different ways - songwriting, performing, producing. When I read these names, "side musician" is not the first thing that comes to my mind.

There are so many important actual side musicians and groups left (hats of to Tony Allen and Steve Gadd by the way). Then, of course, there's the thing with the double entries (like James Jamerson, who has been previously inducted with the Funk Brothers).

Maybe next year, we can make it an open category, like it's the case with the HoF's ME Category?

Posted by MichaelEU on Thursday, 07/17/2025 @ 10:54am


My Folk/Country Rock/Singer-Songwriter Genre Nomination is Train.

Singer-Songwriter Patrick Monahan is best known as the lead singer and sole constant member of the band Train. As the youngest of 7 siblings, he was inspired to write his signature song, Drops of Jupiter after his best friend, his Mom, died of cancer. He has said that the words came to him in a dream.

They have won 3 Grammys for the songs Drops of Jupiter and Hey, Soul Sister and were also nominated for Calling All Angels. 21 of their songs reached the top 20 on Billboard's Adult Pop Airplay chart. Their music is considered to be Roots Rock which has its origins in Folk and Country.

Monahan has also collaborated and written songs for and with such artists as Tina Turner, Richie Sambora, Graham Nash, Brandi Carlile, Ashley Monroe, Martina McBride, Sugarland and Taylor Swift. In addition, he has sung with such artists as Fuel, INXS, and The Hollies at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2010. He also inducted Journey into the Rock Hall in 2017.

Posted by Jennifer on Thursday, 07/17/2025 @ 19:12pm

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.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 01:10am


My nominee is Patti LaBelle. Tremendous snub for the Rock Hall and the FRL Re-Visited / Projected Project.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 01:11am


I'll nominate the Dells

Posted by Philip on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 01:48am


Erykah Badu

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 01:53am


My R&B Nomination is..... Rick James.
KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 02:51am


Was checking out the DigitalDreamDoor Top 100 list and realizing just how overstuffed the Rock Hall and this project are with R&B history. At this point I feel we're considering the E-list. Effectively inducting over 100 key R&B names in all the categories yet for indie rock we've done like, what, 15-20? Just way out of balance. Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens, Yo La Tengo….they're more important than Teddy Pendergrass or Labelle.

I'll put up Rufus Thomas in the running for the nomination ballot. So that's my nomination.

D'angelo should likely also get on that, Maxwell too. James Carr as well?

Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 03:49am


I'll nominate Luther Vandross for this round.

Posted by Michael W. on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 06:12am


My R&B nomination is the crystals.

Posted by 0pac big on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 07:35am


Ben E. King

Performed amongst the two biggest singles of the 20th century - 'Stand by Me' and 'Spanish Harlem.' Continued to have other hits in the 60s and 70s, but those two songs alone are iconic and justifiable for nomination and induction in this project.

Also considered Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Joe Tex, Lou Rawls, The Chi-Lites, Donny Hathaway, Anita Baker, George Benson, and Toni Braxton. The well is nowhere close to dry on the R&B front.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 07:52am


My R&B nominee is Usher.

Posted by Ian on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 08:20am

Lot of great nominees so far. I will nominate Aaliyah for this round.

Posted by Mason on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 09:25am


My R&B nomination is Teena Marie.

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 09:34am

Artist nomination:

Drake

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 21:27pm


This project's Drake erasure is also a crime. I find him to be a total bore but we've inducted so many mainstream acts with a fingernail of the impact and/or commercial success that he has had that this project is completely hypocritical to exclude him.

Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 23:27pm


Would like to nominate Lou Rawls.

Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 07/23/2025 @ 10:40am


No issue with the previous round - couldn't nominate since I was busy, but I'll make a nominee this go: I'll take up the Ohio Players.

Posted by SotN on Wednesday, 07/23/2025 @ 13:18pm

I'll nominate Busta Rhymes.

Posted by Michael W. on Tuesday, 08/5/2025 @ 13:08pm


Nominee: Tyler, the Creator

Posted by Ozma on Tuesday, 08/5/2025 @ 16:34pm


I know that Lauryn Hill is already in, but I'll nominate the Fugees on my end.

By the way, I haven't been in the loop for a long time and likely forgot a lot of stuff from back when I was in, but I was wondering - was there any talk of having a genre vote that's essentially a "Last Try" where the acts that came up just short of the nomination (in this last month's case, Gorillaz, Moby and Tangerine Dream) get one last try to the ballot in a final vote? I'm not putting it forward as it stands: I'm just curious.

Posted by SotN on Tuesday, 08/5/2025 @ 19:14pm


My nominee is MC Lyte.

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 08/5/2025 @ 21:14pm


My nominee for this round is:

Nicki Minaj

SotN, I think there is not a "last try" vote for nominees in the way you mentioned. After this round, we will be having a Pop music nomination week which might include a number of artists put up for being nominated again; followed by a World Music week which might add some artists that are outside of the English language. We will then have 8 more nominations determined by a general vote, in which anyone can be nominated and, if I am not mistaken, 3 will get nominated the first week, then another 3 the next week and 2 the last week. In that period, many posters keep the artist they put up for being nominated until they do get nominated. After all that, a ballot of 60 artists will be drawn in which 16 artists will get inducted: 7 in the main category, 3 non-performers, 3 Early influences, and 3 Side musicians.

Hope this answers your question,

Lax42

KING Hip Hop Nomination
Too $hort

Posted by KING on Wednesday, 08/6/2025 @ 15:42pm


My pick:

Big Daddy Kane

Posted by Ray on Wednesday, 08/6/2025 @ 18:06pm


SotN - Lax42 is correct. We don't have a "Last Chance" ballot for artists that fall just short of nomination, but we do have 3 general nomination votes each year and this year the general nominations are after the genre votes, so everyone who misses the ballot through the genre ballot will have the opportunity to make it that way.

My nominee this round is Deftones.

In case there's any confusion, the genre votes have now concluded and this is the first of three general nomination votes, meaning that any eligible performer can be nominated, assuming they haven't been previously inducted or nominated to the 2025 ballot.

The top three vote-getters from this round will be inducted, with tiebreaker votes taking place as needed.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 08/25/2025 @ 23:30pm


Aimee Mann

Posted by joker on Monday, 08/25/2025 @ 23:33pm


My nomination: Florence + The Machine

Posted by John R.C. on Monday, 08/25/2025 @ 23:44pm


Other artists that I'm recommending/advocating:

Ariana Grande
D'Angelo
Frank Ocean
John Prine
Paramore
Phoebe Bridgers
Pulp
Sufjan Stevens

Posted by John R.C. on Monday, 08/25/2025 @ 23:47pm


I'm nominating St. Vincent who lost their genre tiebreaker to My Chemical Romance. For the love of God, can someone nominate Selena? I think I over thought the last category strategically and didn't vote for her and that was really friggin' dumb. I promise to get it right this time.

Here's the other Runner(s)-up via genre votes this cycle that have failed to make it on the ballot:

The Cranberries
Dio
The Fugees
Gang of Four
Gorillaz
Ice Cube
Indigo Girls
Janelle Monae
Jeff Buckley
Los Lobos
Lucinda Williams
No Doubt
Moby
Robyn
Selena
Styx
Sweet

Posted by Casper on Monday, 08/25/2025 @ 23:54pm


I also strongly recommend a push for Gang of Four, should someone nominate them. Definitely think there's enough support here to get them on to the ballot with ease. So somebody nominate 'em!

Posted by Casper on Monday, 08/25/2025 @ 23:55pm


My nominee is Ben E. King

Posted by Mason on Tuesday, 08/26/2025 @ 00:24am


my general nominee is the crystals.

The Cranberries

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 08/26/2025 @ 01:51am


My General Nomination is August 26, 2025 is Scorpions.


This is an easy decision as Scorpions they are celebrating their 60th anniversary as a rock and metal band. Have sold millions of albums in American and in Europe. Influenced many European bands and have Classic Songs. No One Like You, Rock You Like A Hurricane, Still Loving You, Send Me An Angel, The
Zoo, Wind Of Change, etc.

Won't lie: I'm shocked X Japan even broke 10 votes. I wasn't expecting that support, even if they did miss the ballot!

For here, I was going to nominate the Fugees, since they were my nominee during that vote. But I'll hold off on them for a round and I'll help Casper out here: Selena.

If I'm reading correctly, the three nominated artists above me will still be nominees regardless of who wins the tiebreaker vote.

Posted by Mason on Tuesday, 09/2/2025 @ 10:26am


Mason - Yes, that's correct. The three tiebreaker losers will be on the ballot as well as anyone nominated as a replacement nomination. I figured it would be easier this way, so that everyone knows who's nominated for Round 2, regardless of the tiebreaker results.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 09/2/2025 @ 13:43pm

Suzi Quatro.


Really wanted to do this nomination for Singer/Songwriter but I bit the bullet by picking Tracy Chapman for it lol

Going to change my nominee one last time.

The Pogues

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 05:35am


Glad to see Jeff make the ballot! I'll nominate King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard for my next one.

Posted by Skylanderlord3 on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 09:10am


Given that no one I've nominated has gotten much traction, I'll change my pick this time to Styx.

Posted by Ian on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 10:07am


If Midnight Oil goes through the tiebreaker, I'll continue with Blink -182

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 10:27am


Darren, you had forgotten to put Sting in the list of artists already nominated for the Performers category for the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall Project. Sting should be put in on the list between St. Vincent and Supertramp. I understand this may have been due to Sting winning a tiebreaker, yet this oversight should be rectified. As well, I will not be changing my artist I put up for nomination this time out. Ergo, it will still be Sarah McLachlan as my pick for nomination this coming election cycle.

Hope this helps,

Lax42

Posted by Lax42 on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 13:15pm


I'll change mine to Arctic Monkeys. Honestly thought Slipknot would've done better, but clearly not.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 14:16pm


Lax42 - Yes, Sting is also nominated. I forgot to add him to the list in the announcement because he won a tiebreaker, but he's everywhere else on my nomination spreadsheets.

ntndeacon - Blink-182 and Midnight Oil will both carry over to the next round, unless Midnight Oil wins the tiebreaker.

Posted by Darren on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 15:51pm


Honestly, that's a really tough tiebreaker - all of those acts would be a good ballot straight up. But I have no problem with this!

If I get a second nominee thanks to this, I'll use it to nominate The Fugees as I promised before.

Posted by SotN on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 16:46pm


I'll change my nomination to The Turtles.

Posted by joker on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 19:24pm


Going to switch out Rory Gallagher for The 13th Floor Elevators.

Posted by Ray on Tuesday, 09/9/2025 @ 20:19pm

Right now there are four nominees who should be GIMME'S for induction:

1. ADELE
Come on now, Adele? She should be the no brainer of the no brainers! What else is there to say besides the fact that she's already won 16 Grammy Awards with just four studio albums, becoming a British cultural icon and one of, if not THE most dominant force of the 2010s? Just combining her massive critical acclaim with her massive commercial success already gives you a no doubter, and I haven't even gotten to mention her singing power in soul music yet. If I were a voter last year, Adele would not have been passed over.

2. AMY WINEHOUSE
Before Adele, there was Amy Winehouse. The world tragically lost her way too soon, but that doesn't take away her superstardom in soul music as a contralto. With only two studio albums, she won 6 Grammy Awards and revived the 60's diva movement common for girl groups. Her biggest attribute in rock and roll? Authenticity. Her lyrics were deeply personal which influenced countless artists to embrace their true selves - including the aforementioned Adele and previous FRL Hall of Fame inductee Lady Gaga. In spite of a short career, Amy Winehouse's legacy is unquestionable and it is time to recognize it on this forum.

3. JOE COCKER
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame got it right by including Joe Cocker in its class of 2025. How much talent does it take to record renditions of esteemed classics and redefine them into greater legacies than they already had? The answer is Hall of Fame caliber! Furthermore, those staples should not distract you from the fact that his artistry includes his own songwriting. It's also no secret that he had one of the most electrifying stage presences of the 70's in rock and roll - gritty yet tender, which I'm sure sounds familiar for a bunch of your favorite modern rock and roll bands! If Billy Joel contends that no one has come close to Joe Cocker as one of the greatest primal rock and roll vocalists, you have to vote for his induction.

4. TRACY CHAPMAN
In 1988, the world celebrated Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday with a tribute concert, but its main headliner Stevie Wonder is unable to perform. Enter a young, relatively unknown artist in Tracy Chapman to fill a massive absence - in her debut performance with a large audience! Everything else is history, as "Fast Car" revolutionized the music landscape, earning multiple Grammy Awards including Best New Artist. Following an incredible breakout, her discography catapulted her status to superstardom, including her becoming a key human rights activist in the fight against South African apartheid. This is another legacy long overdue for induction in the Rock Hall Projected forum, and now is the time for us to recognize her deserving career.

Now that I have the four mandatory votes for induction out of the way, the remaining performers I urge everyone to consider for this year's class are (in alphabetical order):
· Alanis Morissette
· Gang of Four
· Jeff Buckley
· Linkin Park
· Luther Vandross
· Patti LaBelle
· St. Vincent
· Supertramp
· Tangerine Dream
· The Cranberries
· The Strokes

Posted by Mason on Tuesday, 09/16/2025 @ 12:01pm


I'm going to make a case for one non-performer nominee for induction:

J Dilla

He is one of the most influential Hip Hop producers (arguably top 3) of all time. He was a master of sampling in it that he doesn't make it very obvious of where the sampling source came from, and his production style and technique still resonates with a lot of modern Hip Hop artists and records today.

Posted by John R.C. on Tuesday, 09/16/2025 @ 17:56pm


As we approach the annual voting process, it's near impossible to NOT notice that this ballot is utterly loaded with indie rock acts (and a few adjacent ones). Many of you may know that I've long been a proponent of these underappreciated names and not from the perspective of trying to "stick it" to the commercial music industry but because I feel the through-lines of innovation and influence clearly show that bands like Television did a lot more to change the face of rock history than artists like Joe Cocker or Bon Jovi. Remove either of the latter and we're still where we're at but start picking away at those who ushered in new sound landscapes, subgenres and styles and we'd be in, frankly, a much more boring music universe in the year 2025.

I've been with this project from the beginning and I was the one that came up with the "15 Years Into The Future" for Rock Hall Projected, in fact. I still feel that moving it from an annual free-for-all vote to a smaller shortlist has absolutely tilted the scales irrevocably in favor of mainstream acts that voters are more likely to recognize. The expansion of the ballot from 7 votes to 10 votes also doesn't help either. Logistically, when people don't know enough about a given list of names, they're going to go with what they DO know which means some super key acts are starting with a much smaller potential tent of support compared to names like Adele with universal recognition.

I firmly believe that this year represents a PHENOMENAL opportunity for those who feel we need more representation of rock's subcurrents via voting for as many of these names as you can. And, in turn, we will have a far more diverse outcome as far as musical styles go that we won't really get by inducting Joe Cocker, Adele, Olivia Newton-John or other middle of the road acts. There's only one Cocteau Twins!

I count eight names from the world of indie-rock on our ballot and one that's adjacent as she spent the pre-pandemic part of her career mostly cruising along via a similar fandom before breaking out into a stadium act (Lana Del Rey). Let me be clear that I'm voting for the ten most deserving names out of this ballot, not supporting someone just because they aren't part of the usual major label record business and/or fandom. These are the most deserving candidates and I'll tell you why, in alphabetical order (without any usage of AI

Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 09/16/2025 @ 18:19pm


BIKINI KILL - What can be said of a name that launches a new genre unto itself other than said genre? Riott grrl. If you're looking for the most feminist, politically engaged act on this year's list, then look no further. Four women who brought absolute FURY to the stage and wrapped it up in indelible punk hooks. It's a travesty that they aren't in yet.


Key album: The CD Version of the First Two Records



COCTEAU TWINS - This has been our biggest oversight for years. They're one of the most groundbreaking acts left on the outside looking in at this point. Elisabeth Fraser's ethereal, usually indecipherable vocals gliding over her band's swirling guitar work made them progenitors of the shoegaze of My Bloody Valentine AND the dream pop of Beach House. This act was absolutely crucial for so many genres (and the world of indie in general) over the last forty-plus years.

Key album: Heaven or Las Vegas



ELLIOTT SMITH - In the jaded, burnout lyrics of Phoebe Bridgers to Alex G's unpredictable melodies, Mr. Smith is pretty much the patron martyr of indie rock and its own answer to Bob Dylan.

Key album: XO



GANG OF FOUR - I had the pleasure of recently watching the farewell run with the two surviving key members playing through the band's essential Entertainment album. I was struck by not only how full of life and surprising musical detours the show contained when delivering one classic after another but how the message of the music still resonates today. Television meets Rage Against The Machine.

Key album: Entertainment




JEFF BUCKLEY - Short-lived but always remembered. Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk demonstrates that he had a seemingly endless Arthur Russell-like well to keep drawing song ideas from and would have given us decades of groundbreaking songwriting. But we really just need that out-of-this-world debut album, full of so many iconic and indelible tunes, to know that he was a true original.

Key album: Grace

Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 09/16/2025 @ 18:20pm


LANA DEL REY - Our foremost lyricist and pop figure of the 21st century with an array of classic albums and a cult fandom unto herself, this is probably the most no-brainer selection on the entire ballot. Imagine a world where Leonard Cohen was alive and had songs with billions of streams on Spotify and headlined festivals. Because that's what we've got right here and we should never lose sight of that.

Key album: Norman F-ing Rockwell



PORTISHEAD - We inducted Massive Attack as representatives of the trip-hop movement basically off two classic albums whereas Portishead has three. Practically their own genre and maybe even the "modern" take on Cocteau Twins after the Cocteau Twins receded into the ether. Dummy alone was a gamechanger, but Third proved them to be true icons.

Key album: Dummy



ST. VINCENT - Perhaps too often playing the Rock Hall's own game with collaborations, musical appearances at the inductions, etc. all while bagging a boatload of Grammys from the ever-aging voting base of that institution. But does that matter when you're an all-time great guitarist, endlessly innovative songwriter and have a career track record that can be described only as "consistently dazzling"?

Key album: Massseduction



THE STROKES - See them live and it's like seeing The Beatles. All the warts and removed and their best 18 songs or so are trotted out (not unlike the current Oasis reunion tour). We all know the story of indie rock's lo-fi nineties finally bubbling to the surface at the turn of the century whether in bonafide radio and/or MTV hits, usage in car commercials or television promos or just millions of people deciding that they would decide for themselves what they loved. As guitar rock was belting out angry boy metaldom for the mainstream and losing its last vestiges of respect earned from a worth-praising 90's alternative scene, The Strokes arrived with something completely unexpected and game-changing.

Key album: Is This It



AMY WINEHOUSE - Listed her last as she's my final vote pick but a TOTALLY worthy one. Someone finally had the balls to take Frank Sinatra crooning and turn it into something modern people could relate to - all while keeping its core intact AND the musical sound completely fresh. If ever there is a pop star we lost too soon, it's Amy Winehouse.

Key album: Frank

Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 09/16/2025 @ 18:21pm


J Dilla not being inducted yet is also completely ludicrous. We'll be giving a true iconoclast artisan their rightful home in this project. The other non-performers don't have a record like Donuts to demonstrate their craft. It's like we're sneaking in an extra Performer inductee.

Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 09/16/2025 @ 18:28pm


Doris Troy also known as Doris Payne and called Mama Soul by fans is best known for her hit Just One Look which she also wrote, and her George Harrison produced self-titled album on Apple. Discovered by James Brown and one of the original Sweet Inspirations has sung on to The Rolling Stones You Can't Always Get What You Want, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, & Carly Simon's You're So Vain alongside Humble Pie, Johnny Hallyday, Dusty Springfield, Nick Drake & more. She even had a stage musical she made in 1983. An important and overlooked figure that should be inducted in this project.

Posted by Ozma on Tuesday, 09/16/2025 @ 19:25pm


Have to admit, I'm thinking I overlooked Cocteau Twins yesterday. They also deserve heavy consideration with the rest of my bulleted list.

Posted by Mason on Wednesday, 09/17/2025 @ 12:13pm


For my side category picks, actually being under the umbrella of what we describe as Rock and Roll is what really matters to me. I'm just not sure the history of rock and roll changes if Tony Bennett and The Andrews Sisters weren't around. They're important, but just not to how we get to Megadeth, Weezer and Bjork, imo.


Non-Performers:

Don Kirshner And Al Nevins - Kirshner's more than worthy on his own for everything he did in the industry (hence the Hall induction), so this is a pretty easy one.

J Dilla - Already wrote my piece on this one. If there's one name from the side categories that you need to vote for, it's this one.

Lenny Waronker - A name that slipped under the radar for us until Cleveland enshrined him. His case comes with a clear and compelling resume.



Influences:

Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated - Blues
Blind Willie McTell - Blues
Buck Owens - Country voice that greatly influenced rockers

Most of the rest on our ballot comes from the realm of jazz, etc. Negligible influence imo.


Side Performers:

Bootsy Collins - Venerable journeyman who I'm down with giving a boost on his own even if he's basically inducted here at least twice already via groups he was in.

The Applejacks - Important session musicians

Tony Allen - Can't have Fela Kuti without his right hand man

KING Rock Hall Project Discussion SEPT 18, 2025.
I was hoping Bryan Adams, Counting Crows, DIO, Scorpions, etc would be nominated this year. Since they all fell short, I am looking over the 30 qualified Nominees. I will be voting for Olivia Newton-John. The late Olivia Newton-John sold over 100 million records. An incredible amount. She's also still 1 of the most successful selling female artists of all-time and acted and sang in the successful musical Grease (1978). Grease has stood the test of the time and is still 1 of the most popular and successful musicals of all-time. One of my earliest memories was watching Grease and how much I enjoyed Olivia Newton John's natural beauty and singing. Also her interactions with John Travolta and the story itself. I also liked her singing in Xanadu (1980). Don't believe Xanadu was successful as Grease but still popular. She also influenced and inspired many popular women musicians of today like Alanis Morrisette, Juliana Hatfield, Kylie Minogue, Lisa Loeb, Natalie Maines, Pink, and many others. Physical (1981) is still ranked #1 as the single of the 1980's. That's staggering considering the amount of amazing songs the 1980's produced. I was surprised Olivia Newton-John started way back in 1963. The same year Cher & Steve Winwood started out. ONJ had a long successful music career and was able to navigate and succeed despite the different music styles and trends. Olivia Newton-John collected 15 Top 10 Hits and 5 #1 Hits including 4 Grammy Awards. Memorable songs such as: A Little More Love, I Honestly Love You, Hopelessly Devoted To You (Grease), Magic, Make A Move On Me, Physical, You're The One That I Want (Grease). Olivia was an original 1 of a kind talent. A beautiful radiant singing angel of light and positivity. An Australian (Aussie) who deserve more representation here in the FRL Rock Hall. I think AC/DC and INXS have been inducted maybe a few more. Olivia battled cancer off and on for many years. Her courage and fight in the cancer battle inspired many others to continue to fight this horrible disease. September 26 Olivia would be 77 years old. The Pop Genre has many quality singers and artists that it might be difficult for her to be nominated for awhile. With her birthday soon, it's a fitting honor and tribute to have Olivia Newton-John inducted here in the FRL Rock Hall.

Posted by KING on Thursday, 09/18/2025 @ 02:09am


KING, I think that was probably the best post you've ever done here. I will be voting for Olivia Newton-John. But what I really want to do isn't to make a case for any particular candidate but to encourage my fellow voters to practice balance. There's plenty of space on the ballot to include many different but deserving artists from diverse backgrounds and eras. This goes for the side categories as well. So the word for today and voting day is balance.

Posted by joker on Thursday, 09/18/2025 @ 22:08pm


Agreed about the ballot balance, joker, which is why I'm so happy I get to vote for six female frontwomen! It's a chance to honor key musical figures from the last five decades, spanning dream pop to soul, singer-songwriter to post-punk, riot grrrl to trip hop. And that's just my ten votes on the Performers ballot!

Posted by Casper on Friday, 09/19/2025 @ 08:56am


JOKER
Thanks for the kind words. I'm surprised Olivia Newton-John was nominated this year as the Pop Genre has many outstanding talents. She has some memorable songs. A Little More Love, Magic, Physical, Xanadu plus has sold 100 million records. Definitely voting for ONJ. I'm looking at 5 Definites I'm voting for and leaving 5 open listening to the discussions. My 5 I would definitely be voting for include:
1. Lana Del Rey
2. Linkin Park
3. My Chemical Romance
4. Olivia Newton-John
5. The Cranberries
CASPER
I wish Blink-182 & Midnight Oil had been inducted last year. It makes a difficult choice. I'm probably softest on Linkin Park & The Cranberries. The Linkin Park Selected Artist of the Month in September made me realize how many good songs they had written and recorded. I think Linkin Park could easily be inducted here in the next 2-4 years. Could change or be persuaded by the FRL Regulars write-ups and discussions. I believe The Cranberries first 3 CD's are all excellent 4 Stars to me. Remember distinctly a college friend suggesting to listen to The Cranberries CD. That's the 1st one. This would be 1993-1994 time frame. Impressed what I heard musically and Dolores had an interesting powerful yet soothing voice. My late Grandma who was Irish and visited Ireland a few times commented about her voice and the sound of the music. I think No Need To Argue and To The Faithfully Departed also outstanding albums. "Zombie" is a powerful song and "Free To Decide" 1 of my FAVS. I've tried to have it inducted in the projects. It's been close a few times. "Dreams" is the 1st song I heard from The Cranberries. It was very popular from what I remember.
Some criteria or things that I look at while submitting Final Vote.

1. LONGEVITY- It's something important to me as far how long artists continue in a very difficult music business. 25,30,35,40,45,50+ years. That carries plenty of weight. We have seen artists flash for maybe 1 or 2 Hits and a couple albums. They break up or disappear. I'm amazed some of these artists around 40+ years like Def Leppard, Duran Duran, Iron Maiden, KISS, Scorpions, The Rolling Stones, U2, etc. Many of these groups still going strong. Touring, writing music and putting out quality material.

2. GLOBALITY- It's kind of my own term for artists who have succeeded and reached a level of stardom that they have a global fan base. I'm interested there are some American bands more popular in U.S. but not in Europe or other countries. Some English groups are popular in England but it doesn't extend that much outside the country. Some groups I think that have a higher Globality than others....Bryan Adams, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Oasis, Scorpions, The Rolling Stones, U2 etc.
3. ALBUMS/RECORDS SOLD- Many of these groups started before the social media and Internet. They had to be creative and smart in marketing themselves. Some handing out fliers to organizing small concerts and handing out their new songs on cassette tape. I'm always interested in why some bands become big superstars and while some others don't enjoy much success or quit. I think it's impressive to see artists and bands having 50-100+million albums and records sold. Also, the number of Gold and Platinum albums. Some bands have a great presence outside their country. Selling millions of Albums/Records in England and Europe and Japan.
4. IMPORTANCE- An artist or rock band's importance in creating a genre or unleashing something new that resonates with people. EX: 1990's Grunge Era- Nirvana (Nevermind) and Pearl Jam (TEN) exploding onto the music scene. I remember listening to the hard rock and heavy metal in the late 1980's and early 1990's and it's like 1 day the switch was flipped. The Seattle Sound Artists very popular and the Grunge Era commenced. Also, the 2nd British Invasion Early 1980's. Groups like Adam Ant & The Ants, Billy Idol, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, The Eurythmics etc arrived on the scene. Creating some interesting music.
5. ACHIEVEMENTS- It's kind of overall record of an artist or rock band. Playing at Live Aid in 1985 a memorable concert or Farm Aid. Or the First Woodstock in 1969. Monsters Of Rock or Lollapalooza. Some other Important Festivals. Music Awards Nominated and Won. Number of Gold & Platinum Albums. Documentaries or Movies about the artist or group.
I know people have some of the same or different criteria. It's very difficult even with 10 artists to vote for on the 30 artist list. It's very competitive and quality list. Credit to the FRL Regulars & New Voters who voted most or every cycle in the different Genre Votes & General Nominations.
CASPER & PHILIP
I remember the Ranked Choice Voting in the proposals from a few years ago. I had Voted YES although it did not pass. Was hoping it had been voted through. We could have accumulated data for a year or two to see what happened. Could have gone forward from there. I like the increase from 7 to 10 a few years ago as it gives the voter a choice to select a newer or more Indie artist with their remaining selections. Always good to see your opinions and thoughts here on the forum and especially here on the Rock Hall voting.

The final part of our annual induction process (other than the completion of the remaining tiebreaker vote) is proposing changes to the rules and genre votes for next year.

Here are the genres that we used in 2024, with the top two vote-getters being qualified to the final ballot:

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

There were also three General votes to fill out the rest of the ballot. As 2026 will be an even-numbered year, the general votes will take place prior to the genre votes.

Next year, we will have one non-performer (Lenny Waronker / Trevor Horn) that will automatically carry over to their respective ballots.


What, if any, changes would you like us to consider for the 2025 ballot nomination and induction process?

Please post your suggestions here by 8 PM Central on Thursday the 2nd and we will begin discussions and possibly schedule rule change votes.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 09/29/2025 @ 23:36pm


Wow, shocked to not see Cocker get in but still a great class overall! I had six of the seven inductees on my ballot.

Posted by Mason on Tuesday, 09/30/2025 @ 00:04am


Woohoo! J Dilla is inducted!

Also, I'm pleasantly surprised that Bikini Kill got inducted. I thought of them as "too Indie" for them to get enough votes to get for the FRL Projected. But it's great to seem them inducted.

Posted by John R.C. on Tuesday, 09/30/2025 @ 00:30am


A KING salute to this Class of Hall Of Famers!!! Adele, Alanis Morrisette Bikini Kill, Linkin Park, Patti LaBelle, The Strokes, Traci Chapman. Congrats to the FRL Regulars and new voters who selected the 30 ballot class of outstanding music artists. It truly was an excellent ballot. This can be witnessed by the strong vote count for many artists. I think Linkin Park benefitted from the selection of artist of the month in September. They had many great songs over 20+ years. Voters saw the depth of LP's discography and songs over their career. LP might have finished just short otherwise. Adele was 1 of my final votes. Credit to Mason on a quality write-up for Adele here in her favor. It tipped the scales voting for Adele. Happy to vote for Patti LaBelle and scrolling down to see her induction in this class. Should open a spot for another deserving artist in 2026. It's just an outstanding class of inductees. As many here can attest who have participated in the projects, every vote counts and was evident again this year. Good luck to the music artists who just missed this year. Usually the artist can receive a boost the next year to clear the threshold of induction. The voters also did excellent work in the other categories. Kris Kristofferson had a long lasting music career as an artist and writer. His death recently highlighted some of his great work. Bootsy Collins also has a long music career and an outstanding choice. I believed Tony Bennett would perform better in the voting but should return to the ballot next year. Another amazing and incredible year for the voters and induction of a deserving and excellent Class.

Posted by Mason on Tuesday, 09/30/2025 @ 18:11pm


For rule changes I'm always in favor of less genres and more general nominations slots.

I also would be behind eliminating World Music as one of the categories.

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 09/30/2025 @ 18:39pm


Proposed Rule Change #1: Eliminating The World Music Category For Genre Voting

Proposed Rule Change #2: Always Have Free-For-All General Voting AFTER The Genre Votes

Proposed Rule Change #3: Top Five Closest To Being Inducted Automatically End Up On Next Year's Performers Ballot. If there was a tie for 5th closest to induction, then we just extend the number being automatically placed on the next year's ballot.

Proposed Rule Change #4: Top Three Closest To Induction In The Side Categories Are Automatically Placed On The Next Year's Ballot

Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 09/30/2025 @ 19:53pm


Casper-

I support the elimination of the World genre and I think it makes sense to keep the general round constant, regardless of whether we chose it to be before or after the genre rounds. However, I still think tiebreaker losers should remain the only automatic qualifiers for our finalist classes. I wouldn't want each class to continuously compose of backlogs from the previous class and it makes it harder to nominate more unique artists.

Posted by Mason on Tuesday, 09/30/2025 @ 20:39pm


Glad to see my nominees: Don Kirshner & Al Nevins, Charles Mingus, Doris Troy all get in.

Posted by Ozma on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 06:44am


I will be voting to oppose the elimination of the World music genre. There are several worthy in that genre currently, and with the rise of Latin music of various genres and music from Korea and Japan, We'll be seeing even more good nominees coming out of that genre vote.

I agree that having a fixed point for the general votes would be a good thing, especially when we had several cases of folks trying to nominate acts that did not fit the genre right after the general votes.

The third and 4th possibility sounds fun. I disagree that it would make unique artists harder to put on the ballot:

This year's list of 6 ( there was a tie in the 5th position would have been:
Amy Winehouse
Cocteau Twins
Luther Vandross
The Cranberries
Joe Cocker
Supertramp

Granted a couple of them are very popular, but the downside for these 6 groups is they would be drop off the list of nominees the next season. You only would have 5-7 additional artists to choose from yearly. And 3-4 in the other categories.

The previous year would have included Selena from the World Music category.

"Proposed Rule Change #1: Eliminating The World Music Category For Genre Voting"

I will be voting against this change. I think that the World Music category serves a purpose and should remain a part of the nomination project.


"Proposed Rule Change #2: Always Have Free-For-All General Voting AFTER The Genre Votes"

I will probably vote for this change. Alternating from one year to the next seems arbitrary. Having the general votes after the genre votes means that artists that don't get in via the genre votes have additional chances to get inducted, which makes more sense to me than the other way around.


"Proposed Rule Change #3: Top Five Closest To Being Inducted Automatically End Up On Next Year's Performers Ballot. If there was a tie for 5th closest to induction, then we just extend the number being automatically placed on the next year's ballot.

Proposed Rule Change #4: Top Three Closest To Induction In The Side Categories Are Automatically Placed On The Next Year's Ballot"


I'm not sure how I would vote on these two matters. Obviously the goal would be to eliminate repetitive voting results and reduce the number of nomination votes and I think this is likely to occur with some sort of policy change like this, but I think the requirements for automatic re-nomination should be more specific (say, within 2 votes of the tiebreaker) and limited in instances of large ties, so that the possibility of 10 performers being automatically nominated can be avoided.

In the case of the side categories, the ballot spaces that this would account for would result in fewer nomination votes, which works fine because that is a general voting process throughout.

It needs to be noted that in the case of the Performers categories, automatic nominations would result in fewer spaces available in the general votes, not the remaining genre votes, which would still send two nominees to the ballot each year. At least that's what makes sense to me.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 10:52am


Perhaps having a limit on the number of automatic nominees per year would be a compromise if the motion passes. A maximum of X # of Performers that can be automatically nominated as a result of losing a tiebreaker (in the case of a massive tiebreaker the maximum could be set aside as needed) or as a result of finishing close to induction.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 10:57am


Can someone who proposed or supports the elimination of the World Music genre explain why we should do away with it?

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 11:09am


Proposed Change: Eliminate Carry-Over Nominations

I am proposing a change to the nomination process by eliminating all automatic carry-over nominations from year to year. Start with a clean slate at the start of each year. Keep it simple folks!

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 11:21am


Nick B. - In your proposal, you mean eliminating the automatic nominations for tiebreaker losers, correct?

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 12:19pm


Darren - yes

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 12:29pm


Proposal 1. Would like to see Singer/Songwriters as a Separate Genre. There are plenty of great 1970's &1980's Singer/Songwriters not inducted yet like Dan Fogelberg, John Denver & David Gates (Bread). They might do better in voting within a stricter Singer/Songwriters genre.

Proposal 2. Like to see Rock N Roll Have 2 Spots on the ballot. Early Rock (1950-1969) & Rock (1970-2025). It could help some of the early Rock bands earn a nomination on the ballot.

I have proposed a few times over the years to have World Music eliminated as a GENRE here. It always is voted NO and will not waste my time proposing it.

KING

Posted by KING on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 13:38pm


I would probably vote FOR Nick B proposal on a clean slate. Start clean each year. Eliminating the automatic nominations for tiebreaker losers. You might have 2-5 music artists carry over which eats away at the Artist Nominations for the next year. I think Blink-182 was 1 of the carryovers to this year. They failed to be inducted earning a respectable 12 votes. We still have the General Nominations which any artist could be nominated and selected. Have to research and study over these proposals. They are very good.

KING

Posted by KING on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 13:59pm


King - Blink-182 lost the tiebreaker in 2023 and failed to get inducted in 2024 or 2025. The 2024 tiebreaker losers were Adele and The Strokes, who were both inducted in 2025. There was at least one 2024 tiebreaker loser from the side categories that failed to get inducted in 2025.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 14:22pm


I am open to discussing Nick B's proposal further, but in my opinion it's fair for a tiebreaker loser to receive an automatic second-chance. These acts demonstrate that they have ample consideration for the Projected list by tying an inductee. Juxtaposing them to runner ups on the other hand, those act are still under par with the inductees above them. That is why I don't think they deserve to be carried over.

Posted by Mason on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 15:59pm


I'm really interested about the tiebreaker proposal. Here's an interesting hypothetical example. Very similar to the Rock Projected Vote. EX: Bryan Adams. He's 1 of my FAV music artist since Cuts Like A Knife & Reckless days. Adams finds himself in a 5 way tie at 14 votes.
Britney Spears -14
Bryan Adams - 14
DIO - 14
Midnight Oil -14
OMD-14
In the tie breaker vote, the top 2 voters Britney Spears & DIO will be inducted. Bryan Adams finishes in 4th. Still a respectable 15 votes.
Britney Spears -23
DIO-20
__________________
Midnight Oil -17
Bryan Adams -15
OMD-12
One could argue Bryan Adams had 2 bites at the apple and still could not get inducted. Maybe, he should not receive an automatic induction into the next year. On the other hand, 1 could say Bryan Adams only needed 1 voter of the 40+ FRL Regulars or new voters to vote for him and Bryan Adams would have been inducted. So close to induction. He's deserving of receiving automatic nomination for the next year. It's very interesting how 1 views the situation. Keeping an open mind.
KING

Posted by KING on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 17:55pm


My reason for getting rid of World music is it is just not a very prosperous category to get actual inductions. Does anybody actually think those artists are honored to be nominated by us small timers on this small internet space? Of course not. If some KPOP group deserves induction they can easily make it in a general vote in the future, IMO. I just don't think the names and the genre are compelling enough to waste a week of nominations and votes on it.

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 18:43pm


I think that we, like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have a big problem getting important acts that originate outside the United States (and some United Kingdom acts to a lesser degree) voted in. With this, I am including both these outside artists that record in English as well as those who record in other languages.

I propose that we create a World Music side genre to join and work like the other 3 that includes these artists separately from the main performer ballot since so few of them get even close to getting inducted as it stands now. We can vote in just 1 or 2 at a time, but I think 3 would be perfect with the huge backlog of worthy candidates.

I think these candidates should obviously include music both from non-English speaking countries as well as a few lesser known acts (in the US) from the UK or other countries that record in English that also that have had a huge impact on Rock and Roll and World Music in general.

Of course this category would primarily include many important non English speaking artists such as Selena, Shakira, Avicii, Fela Kuti, Tangerine Dream, Los Lobos, Robyn, Enya, Soda Stereo, Desmond Dekker & the Aces, King Sunny Ade, Maná, Os Mutantes, etc.

Another possible nominee could be an act like Cliff Richard and the Shadows who started in 1958 and were the British equivalent to American acts like Chuck Berry. Some of the many musicians they influenced included The Beatles, Queen, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Andy Summers, Ritchie Blackmore, David Gilmour, Tommy Emmanuel, Andy Powell, Tony Iommi, and many 1960s Yugoslav beat bands.

This category may extend to artists like the Scorpions, Midnight Oil, INXS, Bryan Adams, and Olivia-Newton John if the voters here think it should. Or not, if the voters want to keep it to strong, broad early influences to both English and non-English speaking musicians who have very little chance to get voted in to the main performer category.

What do you all think of this proposal?

Posted by Jennifer on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 21:18pm


Alternatively, we could combine the Electronica and World Music categories into one genre as we have done with so many others since there seems to be a lot of artists who qualify for both.

Also, I think that we have inducted a lot of the most important R'n'B and Hip Hop artists in recent votes. So, I propose that we combine these 2 genres into one category since there is also a lot of overlap already with many of these artists.

I too favor less genre and more general votes. So, I also propose that next year we take a year off of doing genre votes in favor of all general votes.

Posted by Jennifer on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 21:31pm


I like Jennifer's idea of combining those four genres into her two proposed super-genres for lack of a better term.

Posted by Mason on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 22:56pm


Normally, I'd be heading out about this time from projects, but I'm making a move to actually stick around and contribute this go around:

On Genres: I really can't agree with the idea of scrapping World as a genre in full. Sure, some of the nominees could slot into other places (Selena or BTS > Pop, X Japan > Rock, Tangerine Dream > Electronic), but there's a lot of them where the idea of genre isn't as clear cut. That said, I do agree with Jennifer's proposal of two supergenres. Electronic/World and RnB/Hip Hop feel cozy enough to merge together and not feel like they would be causing the other issues. In addition, I also do support KING's proposal of a re-split of Singer/Songwriter from Folk and Country. It feels like it's a bit of a morass where all three have deserving potential nominees, but having one with the other two sinks the whole. John Denver shouldn't be butting up against Alabama in a single vote, for instance - one final ballot could easily house both of them as genre representatives and not wildcards. I'm still thinking on splitting rock, though.

Posted by SotN on Wednesday, 10/1/2025 @ 23:38pm


A KING salute to the FRL Regulars & New Voters who have submitted interesting late SEPT & early October 2025 proposals. Jennifer proposals are excellent and I would be supportive of combining Electronica/World Music & R&B/Hip -Hop. There has been some good discussion for more General Nominations. Something I was thinking about. The top 2 music artists in each genre that fall short of nomination in the genre vote could be a general nomination type vote at the end in September. That would comprise of maybe 18 or 20 music artists. Top 2 artists in voting earn nomination. Most likely groups people would vote for in a 30 artist ballot nomination. Jennifer's proposal could strengthen World Music combining with Electronica. World Music probably has enough support with the voters to survive another year. I like Singer/Songwriters more of a separate genre as it could add some more women artists to the 30 music artists ballot. The 1990's had a number of female singer/ songwriters emerge on the music scene. We have inducted a fair number (Alanis, Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos). I'm flexible about my Early Rock & Rock split. There's also a more modern rock genre we have here. Great work as we continue to discuss and think about some interesting proposals.

Merging Electronica and World Music does not make sense to me. Many artists under the World Music umbrella do not make Electronica/EDM music. For example - Desmond Dekker, Selena, and X Japan are World Music artists that do not make Electronica music. The merging of categories must be compatible and that is not the case, at least from my perspective.

Merging Hip-Hop/Rap and R&B/Soul is problematic, at least for me. Part of the reason is that I fear this might lead to less representation of people of color on the ballots going forward and that is just wrong (the same can be said about World Music). It would also be weird to see the likes of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Joe Tex, and Luther Vandross vying for the same two spots as Busta Rhymes, Drake, and Lil Wayne. In addition, Hip-Hop/Rap and R&B/Soul are distinct genres in their own regard. What's next, merging Pop and Country together because they are somewhat correlated? Just an example and not one I support, but I'm trying to get my point across.

I wasn't going to propose any changes to the process because I thought it was simplified enough as is. Some of the suggestions are a little too convoluted and feel like they would be more work on Darren's part or confuse voters who are new to the process (we usually get a couple of new ones each year (I know, I run the program to verify voters and supply information about the process!). My reasoning to eliminate automatic spots for losing tiebreaker votegetters is that you should start with a clean slate each year. In the real world, there's usually no carryover or automatic nominees and I think we should do something similar. Some of the proposals are calling for more automatic re-nominees the following year and I fear the ballots will quickly become stale. I just want to make this process than confusing than it needs to be.

Posted by Nick B. on Thursday, 10/2/2025 @ 23:00pm


Here are the proposed rule changes for the project starting with next year. If you feel that your proposal is misrepresented, please offer corrections before I post the poll on Saturday afternoon (approx. 5 PM Central).

Please keep in mind that a majority of votes is required to change a rule. Ties go to the existing rule.


1. Should we eliminate the World Music genre category from the nomination process?

A. Yes
B. No (current)


2. Should the General Vote nominations *ALWAYS* be after the conclusion of the genre nomination votes (as opposed to alternating each year between being before and after)?

A. Yes
B. No (Current)


3. Should a criteria be established to determine automatic nominees for the next year's Performer or Side Cateogry project votes beyond losing a tiebreaker vote?

A. Yes
B. No (Current)

Note: If this vote the criteria will be determined via vote, whether that be a set number of nominees per category or a vote proximity to induction.


4. Should tiebreaker losers be automatically nominated for their category in the next year's vote?

A. Yes (Current)
B. No


5. Should the existing "Folk / Country Rock / Singer-Songwriter" genre vote be split into two genre votes of "Folk / Country Rock" and "Singer-Songwriter"?

A. Yes
B. No (Current)


6. Should the existing "Classic Rock/Metal" genre vote be split into two genre votes of "Early Rock (1950-1969)" and "Classic Rock / Metal (1970-2025)"?

A. Yes
B. No (Current)


7. Should we add an additional Side Category for World Musicians and remove the "World Music" genre from the Performers nomination process?

A. Yes
B. No (Current)

Note: If this idea passes, we will have follow-up votes to determine the specifications.


8. Should the Electronica and World Music genres be combined into one genre vote called "Electronica / World Music"?

A. Yes
B. No (Current)


9. Should the "Hip Hop" and "R'n'B" genres be combined into one genre called "Hip Hop / R'n'B"?

A. Yes
B. No (Current)


10. Should the 2026 nomination process only include General Votes (no genre votes for this year only)?

A. Yes
B. No (Current)

Note: If this passes, there will be a follow-up vote to determine if the vote for Performers that aren't yet eligible for the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame will be included or not.


Please let me know if I've missed any suggestions or misunderstood any suggestions.

I plan to post the polls around 5 PM Central on Saturday and allow for 7 days of voting.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 10/2/2025 @ 23:24pm


Darren, is there still time to toss in a proposal to eliminate the Classic Rock category? I feel we're just circling the drain there and the names it produces aren't all that viable, anyway.

Posted by Casper on Friday, 10/3/2025 @ 09:33am


Casper - We can add a poll question about that, but can you be more specific on how you would want that elimination handled, because the genre is "Classic Rock / Metal", so if that genre is eliminated, would there be other adaptations suggested to accommodate both parts of the genre?

Posted by Darren on Friday, 10/3/2025 @ 09:41am


Folding Classic Rock/Metal into Classic Alternative/Punk works for me. Just have it all be one big genre name that mentions all of that. That's my proposal.

Posted by Casper on Friday, 10/3/2025 @ 10:58am


Darren
I would be open to having Early Rock proposal Early Rock (1950-1974) or Early Rock (1950-1975) if it gives a more even split with the Classic Rock/Metal. There are a bunch of groups that started out 1968,1969, 1970, 1971, 1972 years. It could give Early Rock a stronger pool of candidates to draw from. I like Casper's proposal on the Classic Rock/Metal and Classic Alternative/Punk. I guess we will see how it all shakes out.
KING

Posted by KING on Friday, 10/3/2025 @ 14:09pm

In my opinion, It is disingenuous to worry that combining Hip-Hop/Rap and R&B/Soul into 1 genre might lead to less representation of people of color on the ballots going forward. Many of our classes have at least have half of their classes represented by these genres. Many of our classes also have over half of the inducted classes represented by people of color.

There is plenty of overlap, especially in modern times of Hip-Hop/Rap and R&B/Soul with artists such as Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Nile Rodgers, Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, and Lauryn Hill (/Fugees=They really should have just been included with her when we inducted her) Even this year's inducted white performer Alanis Morissette has embraced Trip Hop.

Rihanna often collaborates with many Hip Hop artists such as husband Jay-Z, T.I., Kanye West, Kardinal Offishall, Kid Cudi, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Wale, Future, DJ Khaled, Bryson Tiller, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem. Also, her original group, Destiny's Child embraced both styles of music.

R&B artist TLC has colloborated with hip hop artists Goodie Mob, J. Cole, and others. Even older R&B artists like Chaka Khan have recently collaborated with hip hop artists such as De La Soul and Mary J. Blige.

Since these projects began we have done a spectacular job of inducting important Hip Hop/Rap Acts and countless important R'n"B acts. We have done a much better job through the years than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame itself has done.

To me, it really does feel like we are running out of good hip hop nominees. There were only 20 Nominations in the Hip Hop genre this year with several being 2nd Nominations and even a 3rd Nominations for one artist.

Already N.W.A. inducted member Ice Cube was nominated Solo this year. His N.W.A. bandmate Dr. Dre (who is also already inducted as a a Non-Performer) was nominated this year for a 3rd time as a solo artist in the Hip Hop category.

The Roots are nominated again this year for Hip Hop group. Their member Questlove was also nominated this year (and previously) as a Non Performer too.

Both Big Daddy Kane and his group Juice Crew were both nominated this year in the Hip Hop category. Plus, fellow Juice Crew member Biz Markie was nominated this year as a Non Performer. That's like nominating both Don Henley as a solo artist in the same year as his band The Eagles!

Many hip hop artists (and vice versa) dabble in R&B and Soul. This year's Hip Hop nominee Nicki Minaj is also an R'n'B performer. This year's Hip hop nominee Tyler, the Creator is also a Neo Soul performer.

The Fugees really should have been inducted with their lead singer Lauryn Hill (who is also a R&B performer) since she sang lead on both of their tiny 2 album discography. There really is no need to induct the Fugees separarately. If they get inducted that would be Lauryn Hill's 2nd induction.

Posted by Jennifer on Friday, 10/3/2025 @ 19:12pm


Without including some of the huge number of primarily R&B and Soul inductees we have, below are some of the many hip hop/rap focused artists that we have inducted through the years:

2007=Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
2009=Run-D.M.C.
2012=Beastie Boys
2013=Public Enemy
2014=N.W.A
2016=Afrika Bambaataa, Non-Performer=DJ Kool Herc
2017=2pac, Non-Performer=Dr. Dre (Nominated again this year as a performer)
2018=LL Cool J, Rage Against The Machine
2020=Notorious B.I.G., Outkast, Massive Attack (Trip Hop)
2021=Jay-Z, Non-Performer=Timbaland
2022=Eminem
2023=Eric B. & Rakim,
2024=Wu-Tang Clan
2027=Missy Elliot
2029=Kanye West
2030=De La Soul
2032=A Tribe Called Quest, Beyoncé, Non-Performer=Danger Mouse

2040=Alicia Keys, Lauryn Hill, Snoop Dogg
2041=Linkin Park, Non-Performer=J Dilla


By comparison, here are the some of the few artists that I could find that we have inducted originating from outside of the United States (and to a lesser extent the UK):

1999=Kraftwork
2019=Can
2021= Björk
2023=Daft Punk
2026=INXS
2028=Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2030=The Guess Who
2032=Neu!, Toots and the Maytals
2033=Non-Performer=Conny Plank
2039=Non-Performer=Max Martin

Posted by Jennifer on Friday, 10/3/2025 @ 19:36pm


As I mentioned above, we have also inducted many R&B and Soul artists. I will try to make the time to compile and post a list of those soon too.


We have also done a great job of inducting a very large number of Alternative, Punk, Indie, and even a fair number of Metal and Electronic acts. If I can find the time, I will try to compile and post some of those lists as well.


However, our backlog of significant world artists (especially non-English like the Rock Hall), early rock, classic rock, modern rock, pop, soft rock, folk rock, country rock, singer-songwriters, and rock pop just seems to get bigger every year so much so that even the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame themselves are somewhat ahead of us at this point even though we have inducted artists through a hypothetical 2041. If we can find room for so many hip hop, R&B/Soul, Alternative, Punk, and Indie artists, we should be able to find a bit more room for these many other genres as well.

Because of this great backlog, I also propose inducting more than 7 artists per year. Please add this to the list of proposals if at all possible.

Posted by Jennifer on Friday, 10/3/2025 @ 19:49pm


Once big correction from one of my earlier posts:

Rihanna often collaborates with many Hip Hop artists such as Jay-Z, T.I., Kanye West, Kardinal Offishall, Kid Cudi, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Wale, Future, DJ Khaled, Bryson Tiller, Artist Shontelle (also an R&B artist), Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem.

Beyoncé often collaborates with many Hip Hop artists such as husband Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, DJ Khaled, Eminem, Megan Thee Stallion, Childish Gambino, and many others. Also, her original group, Destiny's Child embraced both styles of music.

My apologies but I was trying to distill a lot information and research into a few cohesive posts and somehow I accidentally got my Rihanna and Beyonce notes combined together. I just got back home after being out of the house spending time with family and noticed my mistake.

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 10/4/2025 @ 02:50am


that should be One big

Also, sorry for any other spelling, etc. mistakes that I may have made in my posts that I may have missed since I have a lot going on in my life right now.

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 10/4/2025 @ 02:52am


jtrichey - I'll be creating a web poll for people to vote on the rule change issues. I hope to post that this afternoon (but it might be delayed until late night tonight or tomorrow due to some conflicts), but there will be 7 days of voting in that poll to determine the results.

Jennifer - While I can understand combining intersecting genres that don't have a lot of electable options, the idea of combining two genres that produce a lot of inductees doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Posted by Darren on Saturday, 10/4/2025 @ 12:08pm


Darren,

We still have a huge backlog of electable options in all of the already combined categories. I just think there are a lot less now in many of the genres that I mentioned and not as many high quality candidates left in hip hop especially for the reasons I've discussed above. All of the lists that I have posted and that I will post also include our side category inductions which sometimes help balance things out.


Darren and Nick,

Thank you both again for all the many hours you have both put in and everything you both have been doing for this website for all of these many years. It can't have been easy balancing your work here with your real lives and responsibilities outside of this website.


Everyone,

Thank you to each one of you who took the time to read my posts last night. I am hoping to provoke discussions and ideas from everyone to make this little hall of fame of ours to be the best that it can be, which also means being as inclusive as possible to all kinds of worthy rock related music types and not just a few. Don't be afraid to at least strongly consider some of the many Great Proposals Up for Review at this time rather than just keeping everything the same and following the path of least resistance.

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 10/4/2025 @ 16:36pm


Jennifer I agree with pretty much everything you said.

My only difference of opinion is that I don't think there is such a big backlog in World Music. Mostly that is because I don't think that most of the music of the world belongs in what we are doing here.

For instance the National Baseball Hall of Fame does not induct Japanese players like Sadaharu Oh. They do induct Ichiro Suzuki who came over and had a great career in the US.

It doesn't mean the World musicians aren't good, just that their impact on the listeners is just not that big (IMO of course).

Posted by Darren on Sunday, 10/5/2025 @ 13:09pm


Thank you to Mason, SotN, KING, Nick B., Darren, jtrichey, and others for contributing to the conversations here! I greatly value everyone's opinions. Please feel free to continue to contribute to this ongoing conversation as well.

Of course, you can't tell the history of rock and roll or the history of music over the last 100+ years without a great many people of color included. I've never noticed any problems with us inducting people of color through the years into these projects either. I highly doubt that will ever change.

Consequently, you also can't tell the history of rock and roll or the history of music without many women and a few white people (many of whom also have some Rhythm and Soul). We have been doing a great job catching up in recent years on some of the most important women and women led musical acts. Also, I was happy to see a few more singer-songwriters inducted here this year.

However, I really do feel that we still have a significant backlog of early rock, classic rock, modern rock, soft rock, folk rock, country rock, singer-songwriters, pop rock, and significant world artists (especially non-English like the Rock Hall). Even if we just try out a separate World Music side category for rock and other related music for a couple of years and then evaluate after we try it whether we should continue it, I think it would be a worthwhile experiment.

With my upcoming lists, I am only including artists that we inducted here that are not yet in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just to simplify things. Also, many inducted here have played music in multiple genres. Under the R&B/Soul list, I did not even include the large number of artists that we've inducted that mostly represent only the Blues part of R&B.
To me, since many artists work in many genres over the course of their careers, I can very easily see a great deal of compatability between such genres as R&B/Soul with not just Hip Hop/Rap but also with other genres such as Blues, Dub, Reggae, Ska, Rocksteady, Jungle, and even Electronic (up to a certain point). Our 2002 Non-Performer Inductee Lee "Scratch" Perry has embraced all 6 of those last listed genres including even a bit of electronic in his career. He was also not just a record producer but a singer, songwriter, and live performer who came from Jamaica.

The next list that I will post includes Alternative, Punk, Indie, and related genres that we have inducted in all categories which is one of our largest genre groups. I hope to have that up later tonight. Please feel free to add or correct any mistakes or omissions that I may make if you spot them. Other lists will be forthcoming as I complete them. Currently, I am also mostly working on R&B, Electronic, and Metal related groups inducted. I might work on other genres by request and/or when I get time including those that are less well represented.

Posted by Jennifer on Monday, 10/6/2025 @ 17:42pm


I do think World music as its own new category makes a lot of sense and would be way more fun and interesting than the sideman category which I have advocated for retiring before.

Posted by jtrichey on Monday, 10/6/2025 @ 20:28pm


Hello fellow posters,

I have already placed my votes for what we should be doing for the nomination process for next year . nonetheless to give you an idea of where I stand. I do think they might need to be some changes in how we go about nominating artists in the near future. This is not to say that what we are selecting recently are subpar .in point of fact I was very pleased to see that as has been the trend in recent years, the majority of the performers inducted this year are female . that is a very pleasing sign, and in terms of at least one of the performers, Bikini Kill, the fact that they have been quite influential, despite never really having had a hit song and yet they've gotten inducted is cause for celebration.

I must admit, though that we might need to on the overall add more people to be inducted or at least nominated each year. There is a plethora of notable artists and non-performers that I think merit some consideration. a few that did not even get nominated or put up for nomination at all this year, but who I think could potentially gain traction in years to come , include Dan Fogelberg 10 cc Phoebe Bridgers Jennifer Lopez Justin Timberlake. Among others, too numerous to mention.

now again I would not change the amount of people that we induct based on the categories. We have right now . I do, however think perhaps we can use a world, music category and induct perhaps four or maybe five artists in that category every year . maybe even including artists such as 10 cc or Godley and Creme that have had a significant impact in English language countries that are not necessarily from America .this is something to think about as we move forward and see what happens with the results of this vote.

in any case my congratulations go out to the 16 different artists and non-performers that got inducted this year ! hopefully quite a few of them can now be seriously considered for the actual rock and roll Hall of Fame when the time comes; perhaps as soon as next year. I've said this for many years the revisited projected Rock hall project is the Crown Jewel of future rock Legends, and I've also said that people from the rock and roll Hall of Fame look at this site and easily can determine who will eventually get inducted and who should be put forward for consideration for their classes to come . we may very well be one of the most important functions to determine the future of the rock and roll Hall of Fame. It's quite the responsibility but yet it is something that is very fulfilling . and I would like to also thank my fellow posters for their involvement this year . hopefully at some point I can do some more posting and even contribute to the album project and song project again when I have enough time . and who knows, perhaps maybe I can even take part in a podcast here or there we shall all see what happens. I look forward to what is to come . Please excuse the somewhat different writing style this time. I am needing to use my iPhone to type this out.

now approaching the calm in the 17th section of Blint's Tune,

Lax42

Posted by Lax42 on Tuesday, 10/7/2025 @ 21:11pm


Nick or Darren: Just wondering at this point, but is it possible that, if someone has already voted and wants to change their vote, are they able to message you and have it done?

Lax42: I'm happy with this class myself: we got some good, deserving backlogged acts inducted! Though it is interesting you bring up Godley and Creme. I was thinking of acts I was going to see about throwing support behind next year, and they're one that I was actually going to push for as non-performers. Not to say their work isn't good (it is), but I was also thinking of their work in the 80s in music videos. It feels like if Trevor Horn was inducted for his production work, G&C would be good for their video work (which would be fitting seeing how the two sides worked together on Cry) since a good bit of their techniques would be used years later in other videos. But 10cc would also be fine as a performer - no problem with that at all!

Posted by SotN on Tuesday, 10/7/2025 @ 22:10pm


SotN - If you or anyone else wants to change their votes, they can cast a new vote and I'll delete the previous one.

Posted by Darren on Wednesday, 10/8/2025 @ 10:51am


Great overall class!

Just a short list of thoughts I want to share:
-I know it's not up for debate anyhow, but the number of Performer inductees (7) continues to feel like it is at a perfect and sustainable sweet spot. There is a sizable enough list of deserving artists to have a healthy backlog, without it ever feeling like it's daunting.
-The Non-Performer and Side Performer categories could probably go back 2 inductees each in the next year or two.
-IF we're still doing genres, the World Music genre should continue to exist. That is always blind spot in popular American/British-centric music discourse, and even if those nominations don't result in inductions it's important to have a dedicated opportunity.
-BUT I especially don't like the idea of World Music being its complete own category. It "others" it in a dismissive way as if those artists can never achieve full Performer or Influence status. Every potential world music inductee could and should fit into an existing category.
-I don't have strong opinions on combining the other genres, but I think I voted no on all of them.

Some of my priority artists for the next couple years include:
Aaliyah
Arctic Monkeys
blink-182
Britney Spears
Death Cab for Cutie
Destiny's Child
Elliott Smith
Huey Lewis and the News
Kylie Minogue
Lana Del Rey
Modest Mouse
My Chemical Romance
No Doubt
Paramore
Sufjan Stevens
Toni Braxton
Usher
Vampire Weekend

Posted by Paul K. on Wednesday, 10/8/2025 @ 11:18am


My top 10 priority artists
1. Aaliyah
2. Amy Winehouse
3. Ben E. King
4. Joe Cocker
5. Joe Tex
6. Los Lobos
7. Luther Vandross
8. Supertramp
9. Suzi Quatro
10. Usher

On top of Billie Eilish, who will be newly eligible

Posted by Mason on Wednesday, 10/8/2025 @ 22:20pm


ETA: completely forgot about the Arctic Monkeys! Throw them in there too - I'd definitely prioritize them above a couple names I listed

Posted by Mason on Wednesday, 10/8/2025 @ 22:23pm


This type of rock has a place in my heart for many reasons. But, for now I am relating to it a lot because of the new Amazon Prime show that I worked on a lot last year, The Runarounds. They are considered by many to be a blend of indie rock with elements of pop punk and alternative rock. They are also a real life band that sold out most of their fall tour of mid-size venues primarily along the East Coast. They released a 17 Song Soundtrack album for the show through Arista Records and are also working on a separate album outside of the show for Sony's AWAL, which is a global recording business that serves as an alternative to the traditional record label, offering deal structures that provide artists with the resources and expertise of a global label while allowing them to retain ownership and control of their music (as per wikipedia).

I loved both working on this show and the music and was lucky enough to work most of the concert scenes as well as other scenes such as at Halsey's Diner where some of the band member's and their manager worked. At the end of our final day for a rooftop concert scene, they played a rocking cover of the Killer's Mr. Brightside as an extra thank you just for us for working with them. Also, one of the more interesting looking character's that I played on the show included a gothy punk metalhead for our show's riot grrrl inspired fictional band KItty Hawk who featured in one episode.

I hope some of you get to check out the show and the music. I also worked on Amazon's massive global hit The Summer I Turned Pretty for all 3 seasons. So, if you or any of your family or friends get a chance to check either of them out, please let me know what you think.


I believe that we have done a spectacular job of inducting Alternative, Punk, Indie, and related genres that are not yet in Cleveland. Sorry the full compilation is taking longer than planned. Since it is, I will split it into 2 posts.

2002=New York Dolls
2003=Dick Dale And The Del-Tones (Proto-Punk), Big Star (Proto-Alternative),
2004=Joy Division
2007=New Order (Post Punk, Alternative Dance)
2008=Sonic Youth
2009=The Smiths, Non-Performer=Malcolm McLaren who managed and promoted many important Punk and Alternative artists while also being a musician himself initially focusing on hip hop and world music and later diversifying into funk, disco, and electronic dance music (!) Talk about diverse genre interests!
2010=Devo
2011=The Replacements
2013=Hüsker Dü, Pixies
2014=The B-52's
2015=Non-Performer=Tony Wilson
2016=Alice In Chains, Blur, Jane's Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins, The Jam, Side Performer= Pat Smear

Part 2 coming soon

Posted by Jennifer on Wednesday, 10/8/2025 @ 23:52pm


Rule change voting is now closed.

Here are the final results:

1. Should we eliminate the "World Music" genre category from the nomination process?

No - 14
Yes - 9


2. Should the General Vote nominations *ALWAYS* be after the conclusion of the genre nomination votes (as opposed to alternating each year between being before and after)?

Yes - 87%
No - 13%

As a result, the rule change passes and genre votes will always be completed prior to the general votes.


3. Should a criteria be established to determine automatic nominees for the next year's Performer or Side Category project votes beyond losing a tiebreaker vote?

No - 82.6%
Yes - 17.4%


4. Should tiebreaker losers be automatically nominated for their category in the next year's vote?

Yes - 60.9
No - 39.1


5. Should the existing "Folk / Country Rock / Singer-Songwriter" genre vote be split into two genre votes of "Folk / Country Rock" and "Singer-Songwriter"?

No - 65.2%
Yes - 34.8%


6. Should the existing "Classic Rock/Metal" genre vote be split into two genre votes of "Early Rock (1950-????)" and "Classic Rock / Metal (????-Present)"?

No - 60.9%
Yes - 39.1%


7. Should we add an additional Side Category for World Musicians and remove the "World Music" genre from the Performers nomination process?

No - 56.5%
Yes - 43.5%


8. Should the Electronica and World Music genres be combined into one genre vote called "Electronica / World Music"?

No - 69.6%
Yes - 30.4%


9. Should the "Hip Hop" and "R'n'B" genres be combined into one genre called "Hip Hop / R'n'B"?

No - 69.6%
Yes - 30.4%


10. Should the 2026 nomination process only include General Votes (no genre votes for this year only)?

No - 56.5%
Yes - 43.5%


11. Should we eliminate the "Classic Rock / Metal" genre category from the nomination process and combine the genre with "Classic Alternative / Punk"?

No - 73.9%
Yes - 26.1%


In summary, the only rule change that passed is that Genre nomination votes will now always occur prior to the General nomination votes, instead of alternating from year to year.

This concludes the voting activity for this project for 2025. Voting for 2026 should be expected to begin in June 2026.

Haven't posted or contributed here in a long time. I read through some of the more recent dialogue above about combining genres, etc. and ultimately I'm glad the genres remained split (though disappointed that classic rock and metal are still combined) but I also wanted to state how I understand and even somewhat agree with Jennifer's point here and share some further thoughts on the matter.

We always induct at least one R&B act every year and often it can be almost overwhelming. Looking strictly at the performer category, last year, 3/7 of the inductees were R&B (Keys/Warwick/Hill), the year before that 2/7 (Richie/Flack), and the year before that a whopping 4/7 were R&B or adjacent (TLC/Moonglows/Sade/Queen Latifah - though she's also heavily hip hop so maybe closer to 3.5/7). While I'd argue that R&B is an encompassing genre, presumably covering the likes of disco, soul, gospel, among others, I'd also say that Classic Rock also covers a wide range of subgenres, including but not limited to garage, prog, surf, psychedelic, blues, folk, glam. So I think it's a little silly to have one of these encompassing genres lumped into a different genre (Metal) while arguing against the idea of combing another encompassing genre (R&B) with Hip Hop. But I also realize that the vote is over, so at least for the next year, things will remain the same, but I hope some can look back at this next year and maybe consider splitting the Classic Rock & Metal genres again, as I do believe it's detrimental to the Metal genre.

I've also seen commentary on how certain genres are "running out of worthy inductees." I disagree, as I think we should never close the door on an era or genre and just continue to dig deeper. Admittedly, "worthy inductees" is fairly subjective, but I thought I'd list a number of names worthy of consideration for induction for each genre or category. It's not an all comprehensive list but its at least some insight into genres that still have some glaring names on the outside looking in. I'm also less focused on acts post 2000s, admittedly.

R&B: The Dells, Ben E. King, The Fifth Dimension, KC & the Sunshine Band, The Crystals, The Chiffons, The Chantels, Jerry Butler, Brook Benton, Luther Vandross, Ohio Players, The Stylistics, The Delfonics, The Chi-Lites, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Teddy Pendergrass, En Vogue, Boyz II Men, New Edition

Hip Hop: Boogie Down Productions, Fugees, Whodini, The Sugarhill Gang, Naughty by Nature, Ice Cube, Aesop Rock, Cypress Hill, MC Lyte, Big Daddy Kane, Too Short, Jungle Brothers, Gang Starr

Classic Rock: Sweet, Joe Cocker, J. Geils Band, Slade, Grand Funk Railroad, Herman's Hermits, Supertramp, Kansas, Styx, Meat Loaf, The Grass Roots, The Association, Ringo Starr, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Mott the Hoople, George Thorogood & the Destroyers, Huey Lewis & the News, Hanoi Rocks

Brian, I am not sure what you mean by this post. If you are referring to the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall Project, it needs to be said that The Monkees, Phil Collins, Boston and Billy Idol have all been elected to Revisited/Projected. As well, Steve Lukather and Jeff Pocaro also went in, thus Toto is also in pretty much. So that is half of your list. Please be able to clarify your meanings next time you do what amounts to something akin to vague posting. The same should go for all of us.

Sorry to be a stickler,
