Cultural consecration demonstrates the values of a field, and it is influenced by several different factors. Previous research on consecration in rock music has examined the impact of critical, professional, and popular legitimacy, as well as the gender of the performers, on the likelihood of albums being retrospectively consecrated. The study builds on and extends this research by examining the impact of these different forms of legitimacy and gender, while also examining the impact of performers’ race on (a) the likelihood of being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and (b) the wait-time that performers face in that induction.
