The idea for this project came to me after seeing that the Stooges had gotten fucked over yet again by the voters for the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. This is the seventh time they've been nominated and they've been eligible many more times without being nominated.
At this point it seems very clear to me that my opinions don't match up with the Hall voters, so why not re-do it myself all the way from the beginning? I'd keep the Hall's rules and go through one year at a time inducting the same number of artists that the Hall did each year. I don't really know enough about the music industry to do early influences or sidemen awards, so we'll just keep the same ones that the Hall has picked out over the years.
The Future Rock Hall website (http://www.futurerockhall.com/index.php) is the source for all my eligibility date information, as well as the best source for information regarding the hall itself.
I'll try to update at least one year (starting with 1986, the first year the Hall inducted anyone) per week and I'll probably keep it going for a few years past 2009 just to see how it plays out.
