Regardless of how the voting ultimately pans out, the Class of 2023 will be wide-ranging. “This remarkable list of nominees reflects the diverse artists and music that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors and celebrates,” John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said in a statement Wednesday morning. “These artists have created their own sounds that have impacted generations and influenced countless others that have followed in their footsteps.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ballots will be mailed to an international voting body of more than 1,000 artists, historians, and members of the music industry, while fans can participate in the process ator in person at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland. Let’s just hope that if any of this year’s nominees get one of their songs prominently placed in a hit TV show, the episode airs before this year’s Rock Hall voting closes on April 28.
