2013 CRF Hall of Fame. Inductions! The end is here.

[jtrichey13]

Thanks to all of the voters for the nominations over the last few weeks. It is time to induct our final class (for now) into the Classic Rock Forums Hall of Fame. It's been a great ride, thanks to everyone who participated. This Hall of Fame will hopefully be a source of pride for the web site, and hopefully we can continue to build on it year by year from now on. I plan on coming back in October to induct a class for 2014.

For 2013 we have 15 nominees to choose from. Please vote for your favorite seven artists. Voting will run for 2 weeks, through Sunday February 3. Your nominees:

Bachman Turner Overdrive (2nd nomination)
Buffalo Springfield
Curtis Mayfield (2nd nomination)
Devo (5th nomination)
Eddie Cochran (4th nomination)
Foghat (4th nomination)
Gerry Rafferty
Golden Earring (2nd nomination)
INXS (6th nomination)
Janis Joplin (& Big Brother & The Holding Company) (5th nomination)
Joe Walsh (solo)
Small Faces/Faces (2nd nomination)
Tommy James & The Shondells

Again, vote for 7 artists, and we will induct the top vote-getters in 2 weeks. Have fun!

Meh, not really impressed with anything from the finalist list. Decent bands but not one I would truly put into MY RnR HOF. Janis, maybe, but otherwise, nothing from the list is deserving. I'm not complaining, just commenting. I haven't been involved in the past few years worth of nominations so... yeah.
