Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2026: The newest ballot yet.  Realistically, there's not a doubt that over 40 years of existence, the Hall continues to recognize and honor the entire history of rock & roll in many different methods. Whether people hate it or not, you must acknowledged that rock and roll isn't all white dudes playing guitar solos, pounding drums and screaming banshees.  R&R isn't defined by any genres nor instruments, it's a vibe that represents spirit, evolution, attitude and diversity which is a true definition of the term. That's how the RRHOF welcomed artists in all walks of life on earth regardless of their backgrounds and will continue to do so. Finally, popularity such as sales, fandom & hit records doesn't demonstrate every performer's greatness since it doesn't indicate anything other than people liking them for a short period which doesn't last long. That's not what the Hall is there for.  What they...

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2026: Who would finally have their call to recognition.  It's official: We finally reached 40 years of endless ceremonies, iconic performances & incredible highlights that wouldn't be forgotten. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame isn't always perfect, heck that place doesn't need to be. It has one mission: To honor music history & artists who made it happened with their body of work, that's what it's there for.  They have another mission as well: Being more inclusive with their selections. The Hall is no stranger to controversy surrounding their process. There's a plethora of individuals out there that still couldn't accept the fact that rock & roll isn't white dudes playing guitar solos. It's the spirit, evolution, attitude & diversity that defines the term which is always the case since the 50's.  Finally, the Hall isn't interested in sales & tickets. Ok you're not gonna lik...

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame elimination: Which inductees would go or stay.  It's a hard process to do, yet it has to be done. We all have our favorites that should be in the RRHOF for being there for their fans & audiences throughout history, yet nobody deserves nor would get it due to various reasons.  Then there's others who already got inducted that literally don't belong. Sure their supporters will say they deserved it for being the biggest sellers or considered as fan favorites. Never realized it takes more to earn induction than records & tickets being sold and scored fans.  Thus is how this process is made. I'll be judging inductees in terms of influence, innovation, impact & originality. It would also be based on ratings & rankings I did before.  http://navonte.blogspot.com/2025/04/rrhof-newest-rankings.html  http://navonte.blogspot.com/2025/06/tier-rankings.html  http://navonte.blogspot.com/2025/06/complete-ratings-...
