"Half of the names in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are hardly Rock and Rollers."

Yeah, what's up with Al Green and Chet Akins, not to mention some other questionables?

I think alot of people that are inducted into the Hall are talented musicians, but maybe the Hall should be called the Modern Music Hall of Fame or something. Country, Reggae, Soul, Pop, and Rock, just to name a few.

Chet Atkins has been listed by more rock guitarists than you can count as a primary influence. I believe that he served as a session guitarist for many early, influential rock performers.
