The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2019
Finally after months of voting we have the 2019 Rock Hall class!
Its been a long wait but finally we know who will be heading into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019…
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its Class of 2019, which includes:
The Cure
Def Leppard
Janet Jackson
Stevie Nicks
Radiohead
Roxy Music
The Zombies
We spoke to Sal from premiere radio about the inductions and his thoughts on who got in…
Three of them — Stevie Nicks, Def Leppard and Roxy Music — were on the ballot for the first time. Stevie was inducted in 1998 as a member of Fleetwood Mac and will be the first woman enshrined twice.
Stevie, Def Leppard, The Zombies and The Cure were all in the Top 5 of the Fan Vote. Todd Rundgren came in third in the Fan Vote, but did not make the final cut.
Ballots were sent to an international voting body of more than 1,000 artists, historians and members of the music industry. Factors such as an artist’s musical influence on other artists, length and depth of career and the body of work, innovation and superiority in style and technique are taken into consideration.
In addition to Rundgren, the seven other artists who fell short this year were LL Cool J, Kraftwerk, MC5, John Prine, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Rage Against the Machine and Devo.
The 34th annual induction ceremony will be held Friday, March 29th, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The HBO telecast will follow later in the spring.
