It will be important to the process to get the nominated artists’ opinion and/or feedback on nomination/induction to the hall.
For our inaugural 2026 Class, we will include a Fan Ballot selected by our Executive board, as well as an Artist Ballot also selected by the board. Since I know a guy, my personal ballot will also be included! Plus we will choose some fans and special guest to have a category or two of their own for induction in out very first class!!
Beginning with the 2027 class, the standard ballot selection process will be followed (see Nomination Process for details). We will keep this site updated with any news involving the nomination process. Without your input (and the artist’s) our mission cannot be fulfilled.
In closing, if you are wondering how this has come about, it is about a man in his sixties who has loved everything about Rock music since he was 12 years old. This man has watched as a different organization has told us what “they” think rock music is. Our opinions are just as important as theirs so we are making a place where we can share them proudly. I believe in this so much that my Fan’s Ballot will also be included in the first nominated class and cannot wait until the world knows we are here.
