ust heard Randy Bachman (Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive) on the radio grumbling about LC's induction ... "He's not a rocker", says Randy ...


Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Miles Davis, Chet Atkins, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Bob Wills, Jelly Roll Morton, Bill Monroe, Mahalia Jackson, Charlie Christian, Louis Armstrong, Ma Rainey, Hank Williams and Robert Johnson are all in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and none of them were rockers either.

But all of them, and Leonard Cohen too, have been incredibly influential on music.
