[jtrichey13]

We now move on to the 2004 vote. A decent class in my opinion, but nothing like the impressive 2003 group. As usual, vote for 15 artists total, but a maximum of 5 can come from the newly eligible list. You do not have to vote for any newly eligible if you don’t want. If you do not see the name of an artist you wish to vote for, that’s OK. You can still vote for them as long as they began in 1978 or earlier, and they are not on the above list of already inducted artists. Voting will go through next Sunday the 12th. Enjoy.
