Late singer George Michael is the top choice in our recent poll about which male artist most deserves induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for 2019. The former member of Wham! received 24% of the vote, followed by a tie between Phil Collins and Sting, both with 14%. Those two men are already Hall of Fame members through their bands Genesis and The Police, respectively, but not for their impressive solo careers.
Nominating ballots will be in their hands of actual Hall of Fame committee members in a few weeks. Some male artists who had been consistently snubbed have finally made the cut in recent years. That list includes Neil Diamond (2011), Donovan (2012), Peter Gabriel (2014), Randy Newman (2013), Lou Reed (2015), Steve Miller (2016), Cat Stevens (2014), and Bill Withers (2015). No solo male artists were selected for 2018, however.
Here are the descriptions and vote totals for each of the dozen men in our poll. See...

Rahman formed his production house Ym Movies earlier last year and is producing 99 Songs. Initially Rahman was going to direct the film, but after years of trying to get if off the ground he signed Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy, a director with experience in TV like The Dewarists and Bring On The Night. Interestingly, Krishnamoorthy has a musical background as the former frontman for the hardcore band Scribe.
It’s unlikely that the music is going to be as punk as its director, but with Rahman’s input as screenwriter and music director, 99 Songs seems like a dream project. It’s said to be a “a sensual story about art and self-discovery,” according to a source from the Mumbai Mirror. The source said the...
