The Rock ‘n’ Roll Freaks Hall honors artists, groups and contributors who have not been recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Commercial success and/or critical acclaim are not factors in choosing candidates or inductees. Rather, we seek to spotlight those people who embody the true spirit of rock ‘n’ roll in their recordings, performances, and in the lives they’ve lived. In fact, we often strive to recognize those who are not likely to ever be invited to one of the establishment’s made for TV galas – the forgotten heroes, the renegades, and the free spirits who have left a unique imprint on the history of rock ‘n’ roll.
Welcome to the sixth annual Rock 'n' Roll Freaks Hall election - THE POLLS ARE OPEN!
Our 2020 election features a total of 30 nominees. In order to be eligible for the Freaks Hall Class of 2020, an artist or group had to have released their debut recording no later than 1984.
