Oldies Committee Election: July, 2010

This will be our second of two planned special elections for oldies artists who are being removed from the regular nominee list as well as a selection of some other artists who debuted by 1960 who haven't yet been nominated.  Originally, we had planned to hold off the second special election for a few more months, but after some discussion and consideration of all of the big names coming up in the regular election over the next few months, we decided to get it done now.

This election, like our regular one, will end on Friday, July 18 at 12:00 PM PST.  Anyone can vote in this election, either here or under the discussion tab of our Facebook page.  In order to vote you must:

• Vote for ten of the artists or groups named below.  Ballots with less than ten will not be counted.  Write in votes are not allowed.

Any artists not elected through this ballot will still be eligible as write-in votes during future regular election and could return to the regular ballot at some future date.
