I am torn about the location, but I believe it should either reside in New York City or Los Angeles.
First inducees: Now of course, I would immediately want to induct Judas Priest, AC/DC, Ozzy, etc. But, if we are going to be fair, we need to induct those who influenced those bands and who stared the craze.
So… Elvis, Little Richard, The Big Bopper, Chubby Checker, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, etc. The second round would include The Beatles, The Stones, etc.

I’ll pick up on the second round for you, Dana:
The Beatles/The Who/Led Zeppelin/Black Sabbath/Deep Purple/Kiss
RPS,
Where would the location be for you?
Oh and the Rolling Stones over Kiss, oops!
Mabye it should be in England, say London. Some of the biggest bands in the history of rock hail from there.
Beatles/The Who/Zepplin/Deep Purple/Black Sabbath/Cream/Priest…just to name a few
True, but rock n roll was birthed in AMERICA, and we do rock 🙂
Location would be online – then everyone from everywhere could log on and visit anytime they liked.
As for the initial inductees, I’m going to go with Black Sabbath (obviously I know!), Judas Priest, Metallica, Deep Purple, Def Leppard, AC/DC and Aerosmith.
Cool question, the location would be where it began, in Georgia. Little Richard, baby! He would be the #1 induction. Joining him would be The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Buddy Holly.
