VOTE in the 13th People's Hall Election!


First time nominees Paul Simon and Lou Reed

Welcome to the 13th election for the People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. For this ballot, only artists and groups who debuted by 1972 are eligible. Next month, we will add names of people who debuted in 1973, 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!

How to vote:


Below is a list of 50 nominees for the 13th class of People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Pick up to 25 (minimum 10), and
 post your ballot either in the comments section of this post or on the People's Rock Hall Facebook page


Anyone named on at least 50% of the counted ballots will be inducted.


Write in votes: you can include one write-in vote if you choose. They must meet the 1972 cut-off date to be valid.

Polls close on Friday, August 3 at 8:00 PM EST.
