Jam Band Tops Rock Hall Fan Vote
With over 2,5 million ballots cast, Phish garnered more than 328,000 votes to lead Bad Company (280k votes), Billy Idol (260k), Cyndi Lauper (236k), Joe Cocker (233k) and Soundgarden (232k) in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tally.
The Black Crowes (165k), White Stripes (110k) and Oasis (99k) are further down the list.
This is the first time Phish, eligible since 2014, have been nominated for the Rock Hall.
“It’s an honor and a thrill, a recognition of our whole scene, of our community,” frontman Trey Anastasio said. “That was the first thing we all talked about — that it’s a celebration of this community.”
The fan vote is one element used to determine who is inducted into the Hall of Fame. The most recent act to win the fan vote but not get inducted was the Dave Matthews Band in 2020.
The 2025 Rock Hall inductees will be announced on the April 27th episode of American Idol with the induction ceremony in the fall.
