VOTE in the 14th People's Rock Hall Election!

First time nominees Aerosmith
Welcome to the 14th election for the People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. For this ballot, only artists and groups who debuted by 1973 are eligible. Next month, we will add names of people who debuted in 1974, 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 24 at 8:00 PM EST.

Announcing the 13th Class of People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame Inductees!

The polls are closed, the ballots have been counted, and we are proud to add six more names to the People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. And for the first time, our entire class is made up of groups and artists who have been snubbed by the Cleveland hall. Some big names missed the cut, but many will be back for our next election. So if any of your favorites didn't get in this time, stay tuned and get ready to vote for them in our 14th election, which will be announced soon. A special thank you to everyone who voted and supported this ongoing project, you are what makes this the only hall of fame by and for the people! 


Welcome the six newest members of the People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame!
