I have never cared for the selection process of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. I decided to start my own Music Hall of Fame. I’m sure some will disagree with my choices but I hope you have fun reading them anyway. I plan to add about 7 (or so) each year.

The Gummy Awards
I’ve always been a fan of Bubblegum Music so I’ll be giving out “Gummy Awards” too. Read what these awards are all about:

Songwriters Award
These awards go to the greatest songwriters or songwriting teams in musical history.
SOS Award
These awards go to outstanding U.S. 7″ 45 RPM records. They are literally Stand Out Singles.
The Telstar Awards
These awards go to outstanding Instrumental records or artists.
Shining Star Awards
Awarded to bands/artists that I love, that may not as be well known, maybe from smaller musical markets, with catalogs not as deep as some of other artists like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Michael Jackson, or Prince.
