VOTE in the 14th People's Rock Hall Election!

First time nominees Aerosmith
Welcome to the 14th election for the People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. For this ballot, only artists and groups who debuted by 1973 are eligible. Next month, we will add names of people who debuted in 1974, and so on. Eventually, some time in 2013, we will get caught up to those who debuted by 1987, and will switch to an annual election.

THE POLLS ARE NOW OPEN!

How to vote:


Below is a list of 50 nominees for the 14th class of People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Pick up to 25 (minimum 10), and
 post your ballot either in the comments section of this post or on the People's Rock Hall Facebook page

Anyone named on at least 50% of the counted ballots will be inducted.

Write in votes: you can include one write-in vote if you choose. They must meet the 1973 cut-off date to be valid.

Polls close on Friday, August 24 at 8:00 PM EST.
