You Decide: Rock Hall voting returns, Led Zep, Alice Cooper, etc

[jtrichey13]

After our 2 week break, the Hall of Fame is ready to get back in the swing of things. In my opinion the newly eligible groups for 1994 to 1996 are extremely deep, maybe peaking with this 1995 group. For the nomination stage vote for your favorite 15 artists. But remember only 5 of those votes can go to artists on the newly eligible list. I have removed names from the extremely long previously eligible lists, but any artist can be voted for as long as they are not already inducted in the Hall, and debuted in 1969 or before (and after 1940). Also make sure they are not already inducted (that list can be found directly below this post) This is our 10th induction cycle. After this one I will be clearing Cleveland Hall of Famers that have not gotten any votes ever from the list. So while they will still be eligible, this would be the last time to vote for them when they will be visible on a list. This voting cycle will go through Sunday March 25. Again vote for 15, but only 5 from newly eligible.
