The Rock 'n' Roll Freaks Hall Class of 2021 election is officially up and running!
The selection of our class of 2021 is done in two parts. In the first part, which begins tonight, we select our Oldies and Side Performer inductees. Each ballot contains eight names. Choose up to three and post your selection in the pinned post of the Thee Loyal Order of Rock 'n' Roll Freaks group page on Facebook.
It is a private group, so if you are not a member, just go there and request membership. Once you've been added in, you can cast your vote.
About the Freaks Hall: 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.
For Class of 2021 eligibility, Oldies Ballot nominees must have made their recording debut in 1955 or earlier. For the Sidemen Ballot, the nominees must have made their recording debut no later than 1985.
Polls close Friday, October 9 at 8:00 PM EST. The #1 vote getter in each category will join our class of 2021, if there is a tie, both artists or groups will be inducted.
