He's done more for music than most considering he is a composer, who pushes the envelope with beyond its limits. Top 40 on the radio shouldn't be a qualfier, just ask the Archies. A few notes in and he is instantly recognizable. The greatest musicians in the world turn thier heads when he plays. People who don't know,want to knowwhat they just heard. He's truly on another level. And its not just the speed and accuracy but he truly cares about the future of music, not just the guitar. Well, thats just my take. Good luck Steve.

No brainer. Those that say he doesn't deserve it are just haters, plain and simple.

Anybody who thinks vai was anything less than an innovator lacks fundamental understanding of electric guitar.

Steve catapulted when Frank Zappa touched him on his crown with the golden wand and because of his virtuoso of excellence, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame really does not know where to put Steve because he has literally blown all the doors down and opened a new on that they are not ready for yet. In other words Steve is way before his time.
