The above should yield a good and reasonably justified result.


In fact, this is ALMOST what Grammy is doing for the Lifetime Achievement Award for any musician (no fan vote though). RRHOF's process is exactly opposite to objective - it's a privately controlled organization, where decisions are made by a very small group of people.
Yeah, it should be called Jann Wenner's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's crazy to me that anyone gives it any credibility.
