Hall of Fame Guru
We come to the end (for now) of our Hall of Fame project. 19(!) voters this round set a new record, so thanks to all the voters. While I'm at it, thanks to everyone who ever participated in this task. It is the board's Hall of Fame and wouldn't mean anything without the participation.
Our 2013 class consists of 8 fine artists. Congratulations to:
Bachman Turner Overdrive (not Cleveland inducted)
The Faces/The Small Faces (Cleveland inducted 2012)
Janis Joplin (and Big Brother and the Holding Company) (1995)
Golden Earring (not inducted)
Joe Walsh (not inducted)
Van Morrison (2003)
Foghat (not inducted)
INXS (not inducted)
An exciting class in my opinion. Legends like Janis Joplin and Van Morrison that took a while for us to induct, and some classic rock staples like The Faces and BTO. Personally, I am very pleased (and a little surprised) to see INXS inducted.
So that wraps up this long strange trip. Though we have caught up to present day, my hope is that the project will live on with a new induction every year. The 2014 newly eligible will include Nirvana, Fugazi, Danzig, Living Colour among others (Kylie Minogue anyone?) I plan on bringing back the vote again in October, so don't forget about me. Thanks again everyone!
