To be eligible for nomination, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination, so this year's nominees had to release their first official recording no later than 1992.

  • The Cars - third
  • The Zombies - third
  • MC5 - third
  • LL Cool J - fourth
  • The Meters - fourth

Ballots will now be sent to an international voting body of more than 900 artists, historians and members of the music industry, and, once again, the fans have a vote.

Starting now through through 11:59 p.m. ET on December 5th, you can visit RockHall.com/Vote to cast your votes. The top five artists, as selected by the public, will comprise a “fans’ ballot” that will be tallied along with the other ballots to choose the 2018 inductees. Fans will need to login with a Facebook account or email to vote. Voting is capped at one ballot per day.

The 2018 inductees -- the five to seven acts chosen -- will be announced in December with the 33rd annual induction ceremony set for April 14th at Public Auditorium in Cleveland. HBO will once again broadcast the ceremony with details to be announced later.
