Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Wheel

These times of staying home more often have undoubtedly given me plenty of time to listen to a lot of music, many of which I had not previously heard or at least wasn't very familiar with before. In addition, it gave me an opportunity to listen to many an obscure track by various performers who have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as of this year. As a lifelong fan with perennial Rock Hall membership as well as someone who has visited the Hall a total of eight times in person, I decided to create my very own Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Playlist Wheel!

This wheel will allow one to click on the wheel, and, perosnally, when it lands on a particular content, I will play that inductee or category examples on Spotify, Youtube, etc. Link to this wheel (partly inspired by Elvis Costello's Spectactular Spinning Songbook):  https://wheelofnames.com/view/2kt-dhb/
