[Death on Credit]

Shouldn't 1962 be the cut-off date instead of '61?

 

[jtrichey13]

I am going with the Cleveland Rock Hall, and yes the date is a bit confusing. The year I give is the induction year, but the voting takes place the year prior. SO 1987 voting took place in 1986, and 25 years prior to that is 1961. I am following their lead as much as possible, knowing that this makes it a bit confusing for this purpose.
