Hopefully this may expand once we reach the 3rd election cycle." The number of replacement nominations each voter has each round depends on how many of their previously nominated songs get qualified in the previous round. You have more than 8 this round already, with the possibility of more added from the tiebreaker. There aren't currently any plans to expand the number of nominations that each voter can have beyond the current level of 100. We're getting a lot of participation at this point and the result is that songs require at least 6 nominations (out of 10 participants) or 5 nominations and a tiebreaker win to qualify. So long as that stays consistent, there isn't any need to expand the number of nominations for this group. The 1970s group has about 100 more eligible songs, so I'm planning to set the number of nominations at 150 for that decade and 100 for the other groups. When we get down to the overall rankings, I'm thinking 200 nominations will be the best starting point. I'm going to need someone to help out with the potential tiebreaker next week. I'm currently planning to be away from my computer next Thursday through next Sunday (I might leave on Wednesday night, but if I decide to do that, I'll move up the nomination deadline from 10 PM to 6 PM). If there's no tiebreaker required (highly unlikely), I can post the final Round 3 results and the updated replacement nomination numbers, but if a tiebreaker is required, I'll need someone to tally the tiebreaker votes and post the replacement nomination information after the tiebreakers have concluded. I can email a copy of my Song Ranking spreadsheet to anyone who might be available to run the tiebreaker. If you'll be able to run the tiebreaker, let me know and either post your email address or email me at hinesy24 @ yahoo.com and I'll send you the spreadsheet after the Round 2 tiebreaker is complete (I'll send an updated copy after Round 3 nominations as well). | |

Due to the large number of eligible songs and the fact that only 4 will be qualified this round, each voter will get 10 votes. The top 4 (maximum 9 in the case of a tie) vote-getters will be qualified for the final rankings. If a second tiebreaker is required, it will take place after the conclusion of this tiebreaker. The tiebreaker vote starts now and ends at 10 PM Central on Friday. | |

| Due to their tremendous body of work and overall consistency, Duran Duran deserves to be amongst the top 10 greatest bands of all time. Posted by Enigmaticuus on Tuesday, 06.18.13 @ 10:03am -------------------------------------------------- No offense here, but I don't really remember this group being so consistent. They had a nice run in the first half of the 1980's, faded a bit in the second half, & had a nice comeback album of sorts in 1993. Beyond that, it's not as though these guys have been putting up mega-selling albums ever time out. I won't question you on your own personal top ten, cause that's what it I, your personal top ten. I will say that they do not strike me as being any more special than numerous bands whose track records are similar. They do have an argument for the Hall, but so do the others. | |

| For those detractors who do not feel that Duran Duran is worthy of induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, I would strongly suggest that you check out the following items: "Classic Albums: Rio," "A Diamond In The Mind," "All You Need Is Now," "Astronaut," and "Duran Duran (aka The Wedding Album)" | |

| I love Steve Perry. He's known as "The voice" for a reason. This man can sing any song and make it feel like he's singing just to you. He has been gone from singing for some time now but still has legions of fans all over the internet loving him and wishing him well and wanting him to come back and sing again. I think Steve deserves this honor because he's a real man. He doesn't mind stopping for a picture and he is a real nice guy. | |

| There is no way, unfortunately, that Angel will get it. While those of us that love them do so dearly ...not enough folks did and there impact was limited. :( This band should have been huge but is relegated to cult status. Furthermore we're talking about a RNRHOF that has yet to induct: KISS, Cheap Trick, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden...among others whose success and influence were measurably greater. We can dream though. ANGEL was ahead of its time and musically and visually stunning. One of the very best EVER. | |

| About the 2013 Inductees, Enigmaticus wrote: | |
| Let's talk about Yes, shall we? I happen to have seen Yes in concert 3 times and have owned multiple T shirts with the Yes logo on them, My most sincere condolences on Peter Banks' passing. As far as Yes is concerned, their work is certainly quite diverse. In my honest opinion, they have quite a few masterpieces amongst their discography, such as: "The Yes Album," "Fragile," "Close To The Edge," "Tales From Topographic Oceans," "Going For The One," "90125," "Keys To Ascension 1 & 2," "Magnification" and "Yes Symphonic." Unfortunately, they also have quite a few "less than great" recordings: "Tormato," "Drama," "Big Generator" and "Fly From Here." Then they have a few albums that leave little to be desired: "Union," "Talk" and "Open Your Eyes." Plus, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame might be considering the logistics of inducting every member. My guess is that they will center the inductees around those of the Classic Yes era. That means that they will probably include the following members: Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford and Alan White. If they include 90125 era Yes, then they would add Trevor Rabin and Tony Kaye to the inductee list. Unfortunately, this may not include Peter Banks, Tony Levin (who deserves a spot with King Crimson), Benoit David, Oliver Wakeman, Geoff Downes, or Trevor Horn. The idea of playing "The Yes Album," "Close To The Edge" and "Going For The One" in their entirety was a great one, that helps expose a new audience to their older classics. Bringing Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman back would probably be a great idea as well. Seeing Yes without Jon Anderson for many fans, would be akin to seeing Rush sans Geddy Lee.

| Yes, Outkast looks interesting. Anybody who expands on what Stevie Wonder has done, is going to get praise. Speaking of which, Coolio wrote a song called 'Gangsta's Paradise,' but isn't that the same song as 'Halftime Paradise,' from "Songs In The Key Of Life," by Stevie Wonder with different lyrics? Then weird Al Yankovic did a parody of it called 'Amish Paradise?' | |

| Yes Status Quo are a great band and should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If Bruce Springsteen made it anyone should be able to make it. Even if Springsteen's music was good I wouldn't like it. | |
