From latimes.com: "....As has increasingly been the case in the six years since officials instituted a fan-voting component in 2012, acts ultimately chosen for induction also strongly reflect the vox populi: Def Leppard won that balloting this year, collecting more than 500,000 votes among the total of 3.3 million entered in the fan competition.
Similarly, Nicks, the Zombies and the Cure were among the five fan favorites who are to be inducted. Only Rundgren, among the top five in the public vote, didn’t make the final cut. Radiohead was the lowest ranked by fans among the 15 acts on the final ballot, placing 10th.
The results of that contest, however, don’t significantly impact the selection process. The way it’s set up, the five top vote-getters in the fan balloting each receive one additional vote toward their overall total....."
This means that it was the more than 1,000 artists, including current living Inductees, historians and members of the music industry that voted Roxy into the RRHoF ???
And not an induction due to voting campaigns on artists' web-sites. Because there were really no serious campaigns on any Roxy site I know of.
That makes this even more impressive in my humble opinion.
