He raised many questions which are still relevant: 105<ul><li>Is getting inducted merely a popularity contest?</li> 106<li>Do too many artists get inducted each year, diluting the importance of the true legends?</li> 107<li>What role does heavy metal have in the Hall?</li> 108<li>Do rap and hip-hop artists belong in the Rock Hall?</li> 109<li>Will the voters even recognize hip-hop's contribution to rock?</li> 110<li>Has the need for an entertaining televised ceremony distracted from the true mission of the Hall?</li> 111</ul> 112<p>The goal of Future Rock Legends is to keep the focus on these issues so the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame truly represents the best artists of each generation.</p> 113<p> 114At the end of the column, DeCurtis says:</p> 115<blockquote>I believe in the Hall of Fame and its mission. And I also believe that the 116next five to ten years will truly determine how relevant the Hall of Fame will finally prove to be to the music it purports to honor.</blockquote> 117<a name="Induction_Chances" id="Induction_Chances"></a> 118<h3>Induction Chances</h3>Jim Henke, the Chief Curator of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, 119when asked in an <a href=http://web.archive.org/web/20090408065130/http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/10/04/102917.php rel=external>interview</a> to predict who might be voted in one year, said: 120<blockquote>It's impossible to guess. I'm always as surprised as the general public. You really can't predict with any degree of accuracy.</blockquote> 121<p>Well, it's not impossible. Future Rock Legends aims to accurately predict which artists will eventually be inducted, 122by using a combination of user voting and other historically determining factors (critical acclaim, popularity, longevity, etc.). 123Since the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is ultimately a subjective process, there are a number of examples where the inductions simply don't make sense to the average fan. 124This is due to a <a href=http://www.mtv.com/bands/m/music_geek/rockhallfame_040405/ rel="external">number of controversial factors</a>, such as personal vendettas, financial reasons, and even uninformed voters.</p> 125<p> 126This site is not affiliated with the <a href="http://www.rockhall.com/" rel="external">Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum</a>, and has no direct impact on an artist's induction.</p> 127<a name="Eligibility_Dates" id="Eligibility_Dates"></a> 128<h3>Eligibility Dates</h3>Artists are currently eligible for the Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first recording. Prior to a change in 2023, the earliest an artist could be inducted was 26 years after their debut, because of the Hall of Fame's nomination and induction schedule. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation is in charge of coming up with the official list of candidates that the <a href=/Nominating_Committee.php>Nominating Committee</a> considers each year. 129 Since no official list has been released from the Foundation, the dates here are compiled from various resources such as 130 <a href=http://www.allmusic.com rel="external">allmusic.com</a>
130, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_roll_hall_of_fame rel=external title="Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a>, and Martin Strong's 131<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?link_code=ur2&tag=futurerockhal-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F1841956155%2Fsr%3D1-2%2Fqid%3D1153090847%2Fref%3Dpd_bbs_2%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks"><i>Great Rock Discography</i></a>. 132The years listed here represent the year of the <i>induction ceremony</i>, not the <i>nomination ballot</i>, which prior to 2020, took place the year before the induction ceremony. Artist eligibilty dates with debuts prior to 1998 are based on 26 years since their first recording. Artists who debuted 1998 and later are eligible for the Hall of Fame after 25 years.</p> 133<p> 134If you find any inaccuracies, please <a href=/Email/>let us know</a>.</p> 135 136<p> 137<a href=/Email/>Send a message to Future Rock Legends</a></p> 138<p><a href=https://twitter.com/futurerocklgnds rel=external>Contact us on Twitter @futurerocklgnds</a> or <a href=https://bluesky.com/profile/futurerocklegends.com rel=external>Bluesky @futurerocklegends.com</a></p> 139<br /> 140<br />
