The Rock 'n' Roll Freaks Hall

The polls are closed, the ballots have been counted, and we are proud to announce the first three members of the Rock 'n' Roll Freaks Hall class of 2020! In our preliminary round of voting, we cast ballots in two categories - Oldies, which included artists and groups who made their recording debut prior to 1955, and Contributors, people who worked behind the scenes to put their own stamp on rock 'n' roll history. The top vote getter in each category gains induction with the class of 2020. In the end, the Oldies ballot finished in a tie for the top spot, so we are adding three new members to the Freaks Hall this month. Our regular ballot of performers will be announced in about one week. Welcome our four newest Freaks Hall inductees! In the Oldies category: Lightnin' Hopkins Andre Williams And in the Contributor's Category:  Shel Talmy
