WOW!!!
Excuse me because I just got home from a christmas party,It seems they are inducting anyone just like the country music hall of fame. What was that classic rock tune we all remember by Chet?? (No slam intended to Mr.Guitar)Unbelievable!!!!!!

Chet played on a LOT of early rock&roll records including Elvis after RCA bought out his SUN contract and he started recording in Nashville plus most stuff by the Everly Bros - just to name a few.

And don't forget; he did a whole album of Picking On The Beattles !!

...and lest we forget, Bob Wills (who never recorded a R&R song) was inducted into the R&R HOF about 4 or 5 years ago because his music had such an "influence" on musicians of the venue!

<SMALL>What was that classic rock tune we all remember by Chet?? </SMALL>

The intro to I Want You, I Need You, I Love You, by Elvis. Maybe we ALL don't remember it, but us olduns do. Chet was inducted as a "sideman"

I would also venture to guess that Chet was inducted because of his possible influence on rock guitar players, much as Bob Wills was inducted.
