Trámites de inclusión
Deben pasar 25 años tras haber lanzado su primer álbum para que una banda o músico pueda entrar al Salón de la Fama. El jurado lo forman académicos, productores y periodistas que votan a músicos que consideran que han tenido influencia demostrable en la historia de la música rock.
