Point blank, there was no other group that mastered vocal harmonies in Rock better than the superstar trio of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash.  They were as politically charged as they were talented and though many artists have been called the voice of their generation, this was not an exaggeration with this group.

Carl Perkins was the King of Rockabilly, and though he is known primarily for “Blue Suede Shoes” his songs and songwriting extend to more than that monstrous hit.  Perkins earned his slot as one of the first entries to the Hall.

A star in R&B in the late 40’s and early 50’s, Charles Brown has been said to be influential on the career of Ray Charles and Johnny Ace.  As this is considered true, Brown’s spot in the Hall was earned but shouldn’t it have been as an Early Influence instead?

A very early R&B star, Charlie Christian was one of the first true stars of the guitar.  His Blues work can clearly be heard in BB. King and Chuck Berry and though he deserves a place in the Hall it should be as an Early Influence and not as a Performer.
