The process of voting for these bands or artists is incredibly creative and in-depth. Ballots are sent off to an international voting body consisting of more than 1,000 artists, historians and members of the music industry. These people will be considering the nominees by influence on other artists’ overtime, their career length and body of work, and more.

Fans may also participate in the selective process from October 15t through January 10th, 2020. During that time frame, anyone may vote for their favorite band/artist via Google, RockHall.com, or at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum. The top five artists that the public selects will form a ‘fans ballot’ that will be up for consideration at the same rate as the other ballots. You can select up to five nominees daily, so keep that in mind!

    s this supposed to be a reason to visit CLEVELAND? None of this of this is rock ‘n’ roll. The MAINSTREAM FM RADIO HoF would be a better name. An Outbrain link would be more relevant.

    And here is another big joke. When you get to HoF, they have band singing well known hits of past. NOW YOU WOULD THINK, of all the imitation bands out there just dying for a chance that the HoF could get some really GOOD acts, RIGHT??? But Nope! Most of them couldn’t have been hired for a Friday Night Frat Party!

    And speaking of Linda Ronstadt…which I know is another article. Its Time for her to be in the HoF and here is why…Those of us from the late 70’s did listen to her. Many people don’t realize that members of The Eagles were her back up for a time. But why I mention her is she has Parkinsons and can no longer sing and may soon have trouble speaking. She contributed many good songs to a time of change.

      Linda has been in the HOF for many years already.

    Kate Bush is the most glaring omission.
