Who didn’t make it? There are a lot of surprises.
- Phish ran away with the fan vote yet got snubbed by the rest of the voters (There are about 1,200 official voters on the committee.)
- Billy Idol? Finished third. Snubbed.
- Mariah Carey finished 9th in the fan vote. At least the committee didn’t vote for her.
- Joy Division + New Order got snubbed AGAIN.
- Oasis? Thirteenth in the fan vote and nowhere else to be seen.
Other notes:
- Warren Zevon and Salt-N-Pepper get to be inducted in the “Musical Excellence” category, the equivalent of a Tim Horton’s participation trophy.

The Ceremony will be in LA at the Peackcock Theatre on November 8.
