Every year the list of nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are announced and every year there’s a debate on who should or shouldn’t be on that list. We just want to make sure that you have all the information you need for all of your debating purposes.

- Kraftwerk
- LL Cool J
- MC5
- Stevie Nicks
- John Prine

In order to be eligible for nomination, the individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. This year, for the first time, Def Leppard, Devo, John Prine, Roxy Music, Stevie Nicks and Todd Rundgren are all first time nominees.
Nominees will be voted on by a voting body of more than 1000 artists, historians and members of the music industry. Voting is currently open to the public NOW through 11:59 PM/EST on December 9th. Visit RockHall.com to place your vote. Voting is capped at one ballot per day. The Top 5 artists selected by the public will make up a “fans’ ballot” that will be tallied along with the other ballots to choose the 2019 inductees.
Inductees will be announced in December, and the 2019 Induction Ceremony is set for March 29th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Ticket on-sale information will be announced in January with the show will be taped for broadcast on HBO later in the spring.
