Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame 2023 Nominees Announced
The announcement of nominees also means the fan vote is open. You can vote every day. So far, the only two acts that have received my votes are George Michael and Iron Maiden. I have basically given up on Iron Maiden ever being inducted, but George Michael should be a slam-dunk, first ballot selection. I think Soundgarden is an easy add and so is Willie Nelson.
I will now brace for the comments which will include "Who cares, it's a joke!" and "It isn't even about rock music!" and of course "Why is Willie Nelson considered rock?!"
Vote on, my grumpy music family. Vote on!
Congratulations to the #RockHall2023 Nominees. The Official Fan Vote is now open: https://t.co/TjN3wayVYy pic.twitter.com/Tmsfedhd94
