Possibly the definition of Folk Rock, the Byrds were self described as the “Beatles meet Bob Dylan”.  That statement was as bold as it was accurate, and their melodic efforts were some of the best that the 60’s had to offer.  Considering the great musical decade of the 1960’s, that really says something!

Inducted in 1991.  From Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. 

The house band for Stax records may have been the definition of the Memphis Soul sound.  Known for their groovy instrumentals, Booker T. & the M.G.’s were also the band that backed up many legends who already in the Hall (or on our Not in Hall of Fame list).

There are some who have called Buddy Holly the most important Rock Star of the 1950’s.  Even those who would not say that would easily put Holly in the top five of that decade and his premature death was really the “Day the Music Died”.

The “Boss” is the undisputed king of American Heartland music.  Anything else need to be said?
