2013 nominations CRF Rock Hall of Fame. Last round is here!

So we are now in the present day. The 2013 vote will catch us up to exactly where the Cleveland Hall of Fame is now. Artists that debuted in 1987 or before are now eligible. Since we will only be doing this once a year from here on, I re-opened the eligible lists to include just about everyone that could get some support, so the previously eligible list is pretty huge. As usual of late, Select the 20 artists you would most like to see nominated, but only a max of 5 can come from the newly eligible list If somebody can 5 newly eligible artists to vote for, well, more power to them-this year's newly eligible are quite pitiful. If somebody is not on the list, you can vote for them as long as they are not already in our Hall of Fame and they began in 1987 or prior. Voting will run for 2 weeks this time around so Sunday January 20 I will announce the list of nominees, then we can have 2 weeks of voting for our final induction. Thanks for coming along for the ride. Again, vote for 20 total, a max of 5 from the newly eligible list.
