The talent of Steve Vai is unquestionable and it is hard to find those who think he would be out of place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The real question would be in what capacity? Although he did produce a series of albums, only one went of them Gold, nor were they on any critic’s choice list. Vai may be a better entrant as a Side Man, though if one looks at his entire body of work, his chances naturally improve, but that may not necessarily be how the Hall should look.
