The results are in from our 'Who Deserves to Be Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" poll. Even if the folks on the board of the HOF don't recognize the best in rock, I was always confident that Rockford knows great rock 'n roll. Here are the results (percentages are rounded off):

  1. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble   23.68%
  2. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts  13%
  3. Lou Reed  13%
  4. War  11%
  5. Bill Withers  8%
  6. Green Day  8%
  7. Bill Withers  8%
  8. Nine Inch Nails  8%
  9. Sting  5%
  10. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band  5%
  11. The Smiths  3%
  12. Chic  3%
  13. N.W.A.  0%
  14. Kraftwerk  0%
And where's Cheap Trick to be found? That's just one of the many omissions from the HOF and the subject of my next poll coming soon. Stay tuned!
The inductees will be announced in the coming weeks and the ceremony happens in early 2015.
