Well, let the arguments continue! Congratulations to our second class: Aretha Franklin, Little Richard, and James Brown!

I’m happy to see that people seem to be voting strategically to keep deserving candidates on the ballot. BB King, Bill Haley, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Smokey Robinson, and Bo Diddley all come back for another bite at the apple.

The competition doesn’t get any easier, though! Here’s the ballot for the class of 1988 (artists debuting in 1963 or earlier). It has some recognizable names.

As always, vote for your top THREE choices.
