As debates continue on this list as to varying genres, the respected Jazz genre is always a befuddling one to Rock aficionados and its place within the guitar driven circle. Ornette Coleman initially bewildered many of those in the Jazz circle as his push towards Free Jazz and music based on varying emotions were not considered conventional at the time. Still pushing boundaries and presently revered for his lifetime achievements in Jazz, Coleman is a potential candidate should the Hall look to induct another Jazz star.
