You can see the current standing of the vote here. The fan ballot allows you to vote for up to seven artists, but Brent Porche narrowed his picks down to five, all worthy of inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Scroll through his choices below, cast your vote on the Rock Hall website, and let us know on Facebook and Instagram who you want to see enshrined in the Hall.
The final list of inductees for 2024 will be announced later in the spring. The induction ceremony, which rotates cities each year, will take place in Cleveland, home of the Hall of Fame’s museum where many rock n’ roll artifacts are housed. We don’t know the exact date of the induction yet, but it will likely take place in November. The ceremony will return to Disney+ as a live stream, and an edited version of the special will air on ABC at a later date, and it’ll be available on demand on Hulu the next day. WMMR brought you backstage coverage from last year’s show, so keep an eye on our socials for updates.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Brent’s Ballot
Dave Matthews Band
Dave Matthews Band are the first and ONLY band to win the fan vote but NOT get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. DMB has sold 10s of millions of albums worldwide and has been performing in front of millions of fans all over the world for 30+ years now, with no signs of stopping. Dave also inducted Willie Nelson into the Hall last year, and gave a speech for Traffic in 2004.
Ozzy Osbourne
The Prince of Darkness is one of the most legendary and recognizable figures in rock and metal history. He’s already been inducted into the Hall of Fame as a member of Black Sabbath. Ozzy has wowed audiences all over the world as a solo artist for over 40 years. His stage show is among the most revered in the genre- he’s even got a festival named after him. Plus, he’s sold over 100 million albums worldwide, including his time with Black Sabbath.
Foreigner
One of the greatest bands in the history of popular music that is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet, and that is a travesty. The band has sold more than 80 million records worldwide over the course of their almost 50 year history as a band. Many artists, including double inductee Dave Grohl, are pleading with the Rock Hall to finally give Foreigner their due!
Peter Frampton
The man has been “doing it” for close o 60 years! Getting his start in bands like The Herd and Humble Pie, Frampton is one of the most celebrated, but underrated solo artists of all time. Frampton Comes Alive! is one of the best-selling live albums of all time, with estimated sales of over 20 million worldwide. The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame… with Frampton, himself, being LONG overdue for induction into the RnR HoF. It certainly doesn’t hurt that he showed up at last year’s ceremony for a fiery cameo during Sheryl Crow’s performance. See what he had to say backstage at last year’s ceremony.
Cher
The singer, actress and TV star has been performing for the masses for over 6 decades. She has sold over 100 million records worldwide and is one of the best-selling artists of all time. Her farewell concert tour was the highest grossing concert tour by a female artist ever at the time. She is the only solo artist to date to have a number-one single on the Billboard Chart in seven consecutive decades.
