as a big fan of the Small Faces and one who feels they are the most underrated UK group from the 1960s...i applaud the decision to finally nominate them, its just a shame that Steve Marriott and Ronnie Laine are not around to see it happen!...long live the Small Faces!
as for the Faces...er!, no! would rather see Marriott's band Humblepie get inducted.

Does anyone know how many off of the list will actually get in? I tried Google, I can't figure out the rules.

The Foundation generally inducts five to seven performers each year. No set number. They are influenced by the polls on site...so go vote your top five.

I would have thought I would be rooting for G-N-R but they just became so awful that I can't bring myself to. Also I adore Joan Jett and the Blackhearts but so much of their stuff is covers.
