same thing (big swings in votes) happened the year that ELO was inducted all you need is an e-mail or social media account to vote could be viral campaigns by the supporters of one or more artists or it could be bots getting through the screening process but I'm glad Zevon has moved up I'm sort of glad, but he's pushed Maiden into 6th and I think they deserve it more.

Just tried to vote and saw that the page is down due to high numbers of people voting, it had the line 'Is this thing on?' on the home page.

I'm happy for Kate too but this is where the RRHOF let's itself down, how can a few journalists rule over the wishes of literally 100s of 1000s of votes worldwide that voted for acts like Iron Maiden? they are the real fans voting here and apparently this has happened to Maiden more than once. The Spinners and Missy Elliot were nowhere near the top 5 but somehow get inducted? what's the point of a fan's vote if it's to be ignored. John Lydon told it like it is back in 2006....

I'm glad for you but the voting system is farcical.

Who did Warren Zevon piss off? He deserves to be inducted more than most of this year's class. And how the hell is Sheryl Crow in before Cyndi Lauper?

Saw WZ in on his last tour of the UK ... the man was the epitome of rock-n-roll. Incredible writer/performer.

I wonder if any of the acts find out how expensive the whole thing will be for them and gracefully decline?
