My understanding is that the RRHOF is a self-perpetuating machine because once an act gets inducted, they automatically become a voter. And being human, they end up voting for their peers and buddies. And I don't doubt there is probably some horse trading going on too -- if you vote for my buddy this year, I will vote for your buddy next year or similar shenanigans. But in the end, I don't think it matters that much because the RRHOF is not really trying to target the indie rock snob. They are casting a wide net so that's the casual mainstream popular music top-40 radio listener. I visited the RRHOF a few years ago and enjoyed it very much because I didn't go in expecting my particular musical taste to be represented.
