2023 Classic Rock Bottom Hall Of Fame

[Mike Mills]

There has been a lot of criticism in the direction of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. In 2011, the Bottom Feeders at Classic Rock Bottom decided to create our very own Classic Rock Bottom Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame to reflect what we believe a credible Hall should actually look like. This is our way of getting it right & putting together a true Hall that honors the deserving Rock legends we all love!

    Fellow Bottom Feeders (A term of endearment for those who follow the feeds at Classic Rock Bottom), it’s time to submit your nominees for the 2023  Class of the Classic Rock Bottom Hall Of Fame.

   Post on this thread or message me a list of 10 artists, with the first listed being the one you want voted in the most. Their nomination will be weighed by the order in which you list them. In addition, give me a list of 3 nominees for the Legends award. The Legend Award goes to an artists that we lost this past year. Then give me a list of 5 artists for the Pioneer catagory that charted music in the 50’s or 60’s that you feel influenced and paved the way for classic and modern rock artists.

Below is a list of artist that have already been inducted in the Classic Rock Bottom Hall Of Fame, or you can view the Hall Of Fame pages on the Classic Rock Bottom Facebook Group Page. Note there were no inductees in 2020, due to the pandemic. All nominations must be submitted by Sunday, August 3rd. Then an official ballot will be compiled from all the nominees.
