Mock Rock Hall
Mission Statement: This music hall has a mission to enshrine worthy musical artists (rock, pop, jazz, blues, country, rap, etc.) of the 20th and 21st centuries, recognizing the contributions of those who have had a significant impact or influence on the evolution, development and perpetuation of music in the modern day. An artist must have released its first album a select pre-determined number of years ago before it can be inducted.
I will host monthly induction ceremonies with nominees into the hall and allow everyone to vote. I've spent years collecting and researching music, and am familiar with all of these artists and am finally prepared to develop it into this.
Every election will consist of 100 nominees, and the top 25 (or more if there is a tie) vote-getters will be enshrined into this Rock Hall. Please submit your ballot of twenty-five votes before the deadline.
Please submit your ballot of twenty-five via comment by October 31st, 2010. The induction ceremony, as well as the next batch of nominees, will be held on November 1st, 2010. Right now the ballot consists of older artists from the 50s and 60s so we can catch up, and get the influences out of the way onto modern music.
