While the fan vote only counts as one ballot out of roughly 1,200, it still gives fans a voice—and a reason to rally around their favorite artists. It’s rare for a fan vote winner not to make the cut, with only one exception so far: Dave Matthews Band in 2020, though they were inducted four years later.
🎤 The final list of inductees will be announced during a special segment on American Idol this Sunday night. Stay tuned to see if Phish and other fan favorites officially join the Rock Hall ranks!
