About Rock Hall Projected, Casper wrote: Last year, I ended up voting for all 9 of the indie adjacent names (the above 7 I mentioned plus Lana Del Rey and Bikini Kill) alongside Amy Winehouse. The fact that we had 8 or 9 indie names (depending on where you fall on Lana Del Rey since she was arguably in that kind of tier/scene for a while until after the pandemic) demonstrates that there's a general belief among us when we make the ballot that it's the most snubbed category there is but perhaps too many names is leading to vote division. Last year's ballot: Indie-Adjacent (9): Bikini Kill*, Cocteau Twins, Elliott Smith, Gang of Four, Lana Del Rey, Portishead, The Strokes*, St. Vincent Solo Singer-Songwriter (8): Adele*, Alanis Morisette*, Lana Del Rey, Luther Vandross, Shakira, Sting, St. Vincent, Tracy Chapman* Pop (7): Adele*, Amy Winehouse, Chubby Checker, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Newton-John, Shakira, Sting Modern Rock/Alternative (non-indie) (5): Alanis Morrissette*, Blink-182, The Cranberries, Linkin Park*, My Chemical Romance Classic Rock (3): Joe Cocker, Supertramp, Tangerine Dream R'n'B (3): Chubby Checker, Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle* Punk (2): Bikini Kill*, Blink-182 Electronic (2): Portishead, Tangerine Dream Rap (2): Dr. Dre, The Roots World (2): Shakira, Tangerine Dream Classic Alternative (non-indie) (2): Gary Numan, Midnight Oil Solo Stars Inducted In Last Five Elections (sometimes with their band): 2021: 4 2022: 5 2023: 5 2024: 6 2025: 4

I don't think Supertramp is gonna qualify for the ballot and I'm 50/50 on Tangerine Dream. Those other 9 will (Luther via the R'n'B vote, Blink-182 through the general vote). Amy Winehouse, Luther Vandross and Cocteau Twins probably get inducted this year and it seems like Lana Del Rey is rightfully having a surge and will be super competitive. Dr. Dre and The Roots will probably nab the Hip Hop entrance tickets again. Shakira through either world music or the general vote. I think all three will get more votes than the year prior (thus, showing momentum) but probably be more in-line to be inducted in our 2027 cycle (the 2043 class). Same for No Doubt. Personally, I'm kind of predisposed to maybe not add too many other indie names to this year's ballot? Like maybe chuck in St. Vincent or Modest Mouse via the general vote and keep it to 3 or maybe even just go with 2 via Gang of Four/Cocteau Twins. As far as Gang of Four/Cocteau Twins are concerned, last year included Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, St. Vincent and Portishead in addition to The Strokes being handily inducted. With less competition in their lane, both probably sail in as inductees this year.

About Rock Hall Projected, Casper wrote: Since we all know Wire is the all-time record holder for most votes received given the like 20-ish (or way more than that?) cycles that they competitively got votes year after year, I would certainly LOVE to see a list of how many cumulative votes artists have received in this project ever since we started creating annual ballots post-Free For All. Amy Winehouse earned 11 votes in 2024 and 16 votes in 2025 for a total of 27 votes in the last two cycles. Luther Vandross earned 9 votes in 2024 and 15 votes in 2025 for a total of 24 votes in the last two cycles. St. Vincent earned 8 votes in 2024 and 12 votes in 2025 for a total of 20 votes in the last two cycles. The Roots earned 6 votes in 2024 and 10 votes in 2025 for a total of 16 votes in the last two cycles.
