    2018 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees Announced - Vote Here

    2018 Fan Vote

    Induction Process

    Ballots are then sent to more than 900 historians, members of the music industry and artists—including every living Rock Hall inductee—and the five performers receiving the most votes become that year's induction class. Beginning in 2012, fans were given the chance to vote for the nominees they'd like to see inducted into the Rock Hall. The top five vote-getters in the public poll form one ballot, which is weighted the same as the rest of the submitted ballots.

    Induction Process

    The final inductees will be announced in early 2018.

    Bon Jovi
    Kate Bush
    The Cars
    Depeche Mode
    Dire Straits
    Eurythmics
    The J. Geils Band
    Judas Priest
    LL Cool J
    MC5
    The Meters
    The Moody Blues
    Radiohead
    Rage Against The Machine
    Rufus
    Nina Simona
    Sister Rosetta Tharpe

    Good question. Can you believe this is the first time they have ever been nominated and they have been eligible since 1989?

    Hard to believe. Mega album sales. Quite a number of hits. Early prog; didn't get saddled into the genre; more or less invented orchestral rock; legions of loyal fans for decades; Wednesday Thursday Friday?

    Priest helped invent Heavy Metal.
    Radiohead seriously pushed the Envelope.
    Rage evolved and pushed boundaries.
    The Cars....nothing else needed to be said.
    Depeche Mode influences a ton of modern artists.

    Other than that maybe MC5 due to influence? Could argue Moody Blues or Dire Straits just based on seniority. Same for JG.

    Everything else....pretty much laughable

    I say they just boycott the whole event and spend their "Nights in White Satin."

    Prog rock gets no respect from most rock journalists. I have a book, Rolling Stone's 500 greatest rock albums. There is not one Moody Blues album in there. There's not one Yes album in there.

    Yeah, and The Moody Blues covered "Go Now" from the Bessie Banks original and she isn't in the R&R Hall of Fame either. Shame on them.
