Freaks Hall Class of 2021 Election: The Polls Are Open!

First time nominees Bad Brains

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 seventh annual Rock 'n' Roll Freaks Hall election - THE POLLS ARE OPEN!

HOW TO VOTE:

Our 2021 election features a total of 15 nominees. In order to be eligible for the Freaks Hall Class of 2021, an artist or group had to have released their debut recording no later than 1985.
