Results of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fan vote are in, and the winner is . . . Phish, with 330,000 votes.

Bad Company came in second with 281,000, followed by Billy Idol with 260,500. 

Cyndi Lauper finished fourth with 237,000, and Joe Cocker rounds out the Top 5 with 234,000.  The rest of the Top 10, in this order, is SoundgardenChubby Checker, the Black CrowesMariah Carey, and Joy DivisionNew Order.

The fan vote doesn’t have a ton of influence on who makes the Hall. 

It only counts for a SINGLE BALLOT, among roughly 1,200 that are cast.  But there’s only one year when the winner of the fan vote didn’t make the Hall:  It was the Dave Matthews Band in 2020.  But they got in four years later.

This year’s inductees will be announced this Sunday night on “American Idol”.
