Right? Your prediction will prove to be spot on. I'm extremely torn, on one hand if I go to their site to vote then I'm rewarding their shit site with clicks. If I don't however, then I can't bitch if Priest doesn't get selected.
I think that the deciding factor is that it doesn't matter how many votes they get, the illuminati of the hall will pick who they pick. If I remember correctly, two years ago Priest was in the top five but didn't get in and the same thing with Iron Maiden last year. They f**ked around with two of my other favorite bands, KISS and Rush. Both should have been in the first year that they were eligible but had to wait decades later. Then, with KISS, the hall would only induct the original four members. Eric Carr did more years as their drummer than Peter Criss did for cryin' out loud.
