| - The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame is a place where legendary rock singers are honored.
- The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is a museum located on the shores of Lake Erie in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, United States, dedicated to recording the history of some of the best-known and most influential artists, producers, and other people who have in some major way influenced the music industry, particularly in the area of rock and roll. The museum is part of the city's redeveloped North Coast Harbor.
- Truth be told and spitting gin-soaked saliva into the air, since it was "Rock and Roolllll Dudes!!" it soon left the Louvre, MOMA, The Hermitage, Santa's Village and the Smithstonian covered knee-deep in its unbearably loud gospel inspired hallelujah dust.
- The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was created on April 20, 1983, but it did not have a home. Many locations were considered, with Memphis, Detroit, New York City, Cincinnati, and Cleveland as the front runners. Cleveland claimed to be the most worthy location for the Hall of Fame because the term "Rock'n'Roll" was coined by local DJ Alan Freed, and also because the first major rock concert, the Moondog Coronation Ball, was held in the city. Over 600,000 people signed a petition favoring Cleveland, but many people agree that the only reason Cleveland was eventually chosen as the site for the Hall of Fame was because the city's civic leaders pledged $65 million towards it's development.

File:Rock-hall-of-fame kimberly-barth sep-1995 640x310-1.jpg Once Cleveland was chosen as a site for the Hall of Fame and Museum, I.M. Pei was commissioned to design the building. They broke ground on June 7, 1993, with Pete Townshend and Chuck Berry doing the honors in a ceremony. The museum was opened on September 2, 1995.

- Truth be told and spitting gin-soaked saliva into the air, since it was "Rock and Roolllll Dudes!!" it soon left the Louvre, MOMA, The Hermitage, Santa's Village and the Smithstonian covered knee-deep in its unbearably loud gospel inspired hallelujah dust. Cleveland's new soaring and soul-bearing Mount Olympus enchanted a gratified rock fandom and the common horde of touristy consumer-bots alike from the moment it invited the excited the excitable and the exciting to "Come one come all". And they came, and kept coming - as is the way of Rock. They came in the early years, when the building was stationary, entirely boring and predictable, and accessible from the street. They came in the middle years, when the shrine was improved beyond belief and raised up into the air (but still could be reached by a long staircase). And now the museum, described as either a wonderland or an eerie lucid wet dream by fans lucky to be alive during the core "Rock and Roll era", floats above the Great Lakes during the warmer months and hovers above Cleveland in winter. It is so large that it can be seen from either inner- or outer-space by those who care to glance down.
