Nobody mentioned Miles' Post-Silent Way and Bitches Brew album, A Tribute to Jack Johnson. That album is Miles' real rock moment.

I think the award should just be called the popular music hall of fame but i feel like He had a huge influence on many different sub genres of rock and i hope more jazz folks get in in the future like Coltrane for example.

RIP Chick Corea

No page for Chick Corea on FRL

You should update this page, and also the 2006 Induction Performance page, as there was a tribute performance for Miles Davis.

In the ceremony in 2006, Herbie Hancock performed "In a Silent Way".
