Throw up those horns, because today’s episode is all about heavy metal and hard rock! We discuss whether stereotypes about metal and its fans are unfairly hurting its chances with the NomCom, and we list 18 artists we think warrant consideration for the Rock Hall. Eric also talks about loincloths and proper umlaut usage, while Mary somehow manages to bring up Carole King in a metal conversation as well as make up a word (is disclude a word?).

Today we discuss the troubling lack of female inductees in the Rock Hall. We share our opinions on how to start fixing this issue that involve everyone from Nomination Committee to the average music fan. We then unveil our all female Rock Hall ballot, including three iconic women who we feel should be swept into the Hall without a vote!

Welcome to the first official episode of Hall Watchers! Join us as we reveal the history behind our personal Rock Hall projects, E-Rockracy and Induct Dennis Wilson, as well as discuss our personal relationship with music. We also discuss how we became interested in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, what our favorite induction ceremony moments are, and what we'd like to achieve with the podcast.
