The museum was founded in 1986 as a way to induct the most revolutionary and valued musical artists in rock 'n roll history. The actual building, set along the shore of Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio, was opened in 1995 and features a design by I.M. Pei. The location was chosen for being the home of Alan Freed, the first rock 'n roll DJ, who is also credited with coining the term "rock 'n roll," and organizing the first rock 'n roll concert called "The Moondog Coronation Ball," which still goes on today. (On a personal note, Freed was also a native of my hometown of Salem and graduated from my high school!)

Each year, the committee meets and inducts qualified artists into the hall of fame. In Cleveland, the exhibits are often rotated to reflect the inductees, along with many groundbreaking exhibits, such as the four-tiered "Lennon: His Life and Work" exhibit, which was hailed as the largest collection of any one artist in one place in the world.

In general, a fanlisting is just a place for fans of a certain thing, such as a TV show, a band or in this case, a person, to come together to share their love. For more fanlistings, please visit TheFanlistings.org.

I created this fanlisting for the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame because it's one of my very favorite places in the whole world. I guess you could say I have a bad case of Cleveland Pride, but the history of rock 'n roll in the city should be explored and preserved, which is why the Rock Hall is here.

The name The House That Rock Built was chosen for obvious reasons. As for the layout, I used a random picture of the Rock Hall that I found online. Links to the brushes used can be found here.
