Whatever doesn't come of it is great, too.'Įven though artists are eligible for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 25 years after the release of their first album or single, iconic hard rock and metal groups like MAIDEN and MOTÖRHEAD have yet to be recognized by the institution, which inducted GUNS N' ROSES in that band's first year of eligibility. With what we do, whatever comes of it is great. I don't think we deserve to have this or that necessarily.

I'm certainly not going to lose sleep if we don't get any sort of award, not just that one, any award. It's very nice if people give you awards or accolades, but we didn't get into the business for that sort of thing. 'I don't mind that we're not in things like that,' he told Rolling Stone in an interview. MAIDEN previously finished in the fourth place in the fan vote for the 2021 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction class.įour years ago, IRON MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris said that he didn't care that his band had yet to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame despite the fact that it had been eligible since 2004. The 2023 class will be chosen by a group of over 1,000 artists, historians, and members of the music industry the Rock Hall has selected as voters.

This is the fifth nomination for RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, the fourth for Kate Bush and THE SPINNERS, and the second for IRON MAIDEN and A TRIBE CALLED QUEST. Eight of the nominees ( Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, JOY DIVISION/NEW ORDER, Cyndi Lauper, George Michael, Willie Nelson, THE WHITE STRIPES and Warren Zevon) are on the ballot for the first time. To be eligible for this year's ballot, each nominee's first single or album had to have been released in 1998 or earlier. The top five artists, as selected by the public, will comprise a 'fans' ballot' that will be tallied along with the other ballots to select the 2023 inductees.Īccording to Rolling Stone, the top vote-getters will be announced in May and inducted in the fall. More than three million votes were cast since voting began. Coming in the fifth place was SOUNDGARDEN with more than 427,000 votes.

Warren Zevon came in third with more than 634,000 votes, with IRON MAIDEN landing more than 449,000 votes. George Michael led the fan vote with more than 1,040,000 ballots while Cyndi Lauper came in second with more than 928,000 votes. IRON MAIDEN finished in the fourth place in the fan vote for this year's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction class.
