It's Labor Day, and that means that it's time to kick off our Rock 'n' Roll Freaks Hall of Fame election season for the class of 2020!
Our first two orders of business are preliminary votes in two categories: the Oldies Ballot, which is made up of artists and groups who made their recording debut prior to 1955; and the Contributors Ballot, made up of people who made their mark behind the scenes - producers, managers, disc jockeys, rock journalists, and others who contributed to rock 'n' roll history. To be eligible for this year's Contributors Ballot, the nominee had to have begun their career in music no later than 1984.
HOW TO VOTE:
Each ballot contains ten nominees. Select up to FIVE (minimum three) per ballot, and send your votes for each to rocknrollfreaks@gmail.com to be counted.
The top vote getter in each category will join our class of 2019. If there is a tie for the top vote total, all nominees with the top amount of votes will join the class.
