Greg HarrisCEO of Rock Hall of Famespoke about the absence of Iron Maiden on the podcast Audacity Check In (via loudwire). He highlighted, among other points, that the decision is always made by the voting members of the organization. The public, through a poll made on the internet, has the weight of only one vote.
“We love the fact that people care. They care if they’re out or not, and the fans care too. The truth is, anyone who’s nominated has a good chance of getting in at some point. I think 90% will eventually get in.” ,” he stated.
Rage Against the Machine was one of the examples cited: “This was their sixth nomination, fifth or sixth. Right now, let’s celebrate this year’s class. We can start debating the next class when the spotlight is no longer on the 2023 picks.”
Among the artists who had eligibility, were included in the vote, but were snubbed are Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, soundgarden, Cyndi Lauper It is A Tribe Called Quest.
