The free oscillations of rotating black holes are studied. Values of the complex resonant frequencies are given as functions of the Kerr parameter a for a variety of spherical harmonic indices l and m. The Appendix uses analytic methods to show that the maximally rotating Kerr solution is, in some sense, marginally unstable.
