Two Women and 5 Bands Joining Rock Hall of Fame

GREATGOLD – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced the 2019 inductees to be honored in a ceremony next year. They are The Cure, Def Leppard, Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks, Radiohead, Roxy Music and The Zombies. Most of those to become immortalized in the Rock Hall were overwhelmingly approved by fans who participated in the online FANVOTE at the Rockhall web site in the weeks leading up to the announced winners.

Sometimes in the past, the FANVOTE gave everyone an inkling as to which musical professionals may be inducted the following year. The FANVOTE top five is not always, necessarily, the final five from the fifteen performers nominated, but in this case, it came pretty close. The five most popular at the conclusion of FANVOTE are, from number one through five: Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks, Todd Rundgren, The Zombies and The Cure.

2019-rockhall-nominees_with-we-always-play-the-greats-at-greatgold-logo_900x450 The FANVOTE was combined with the results of the official voting members of the RockHall Inductee selection group. The overall results determined the seven finalists announced by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Cleveland, Ohio USA. The induction ceremony will take place during the Spring of 2019, but the music of the winners can be heard right now and everyday in the mix at GreatGold.fm Internet Radio.

The 34th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by Klipsch Audio, will take place on Friday, March 29, 2019 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The Rock Hall will unveil its 2019 Inductee exhibit at the Museum in Cleveland, Ohio in conjunction with the celebration.
