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

Genesis missed induction by just 2 votes in the 11th election.

Welcome to the twelfth election for the People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. For this ballot, only artists and groups who debuted by 1971 are eligible. Next month, we will add names of people who debuted in 1972, 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 is how to vote:


Below is a list of 50 nominees for the twelfth class of People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. 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 1971, 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, July 13 at 8:00 PM EST.
