VOTE in the Tenth Election for the People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame

First time nominees Led Zeppelin

The People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is back, and we are ready to kick off the long awaited tenth election. For this election, only artists and groups who debuted by 1969 are eligible. The next time around, we will add names of people who debuted in 1970, and so on. Eventually, some time in 2013, we will get caught up to those who debuted by 1987, and will switch to an annual election.

THE POLLS ARE NOW OPEN! Here's how to vote:

Below is a list of 50 nominees for the tenth class of People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers. In order to have your voice heard, select up to 25 names (minimum 10), and post your ballot either in the comments section of this post or on the People's Rock Hall Facebook page. Any artist or group named on at least 50% of the counted ballots will be inducted. You may include one write-in vote if you choose. A valid write-in candidate is anyone who released their first recording by the end of 1969, and is not already an inductee of the People's Rock Hall. Any ballot which contains more than one write-in vote may not be counted.

Polls close on Friday, May 18 at 5 PM PST.
