Okay, that's the one Doors song I love Keyboards don't count on that one, because it's honkytonk piano (my rules get stretched a bit when I like something--HAHAHAHA!). And it's BLUES anyway~Woke up this morning and got myself a beer..........~

Neither does she. Here's her very astute observation about that subject from a NYT story today:I've seen Joan Baez perform. Great folk singer but I wouldn't classify her music as Rock N Roll.
Was it 1975 this summer?This summer I got to see Yes, Journey, and ELO! I was a lucky girl!
"Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen~Woke up this morning and got myself a beer..........~
Hadn't heard that one in years. Thanks for posting!I'm a prog rock guy (notice the "rock" in that descriptor), so I'm happy about ELO and Yes.
Growing up, and by that I mean my late teens and early twenties, a good friend and I had endless debates. He liked Yes, with ELP (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) behind. I liked ELP, with Yes behind. He argued that Rick Wakeman was the better keyboarder. I was steadfast in loyalty to Keith Emerson.
Then we saw a televised concert from Ontario, CA, and Emerson was playing the keys upside down, strapping himself into the grand piano seat and playing while it went rotating end over end. My friend finally said, "Okay, fine. Emerson's better. But that's the ONLY TIME you'll hear me say it!"
Joan Baez was not a rocker. But she was at Woodstock and Top 40 radio now and then, or maybe once. Besides, rock'n'roll back in the day was the expression of rebellion, and she was one of rebellion's leading voices. And if Bob Dylan qualifies, so does she.
Anyway, you want clips? Here's a clip. If it starts out too weird for you, just skip to 1:30.

That's awesome! Question: did Yes perform Love Will Find a Way? It's my favourite, and I seldom find live versions of it.

To answer Walt's question, the R&RHoF is owned by Jan Wenner, who also founded Rolling Stone magazine. Wenner hates Progressive rock. Pink Floyd was the first Prog band inducted. Genesis was finally allowed in 2008, Rush in 2014 and now, finally, Yes. Wenner is a pretentious music snob, a hipster who thinks that the only "real" rock & roll is blue collar, middle class poetry. He is, IMO, a jerk.
But I'm very happy that Yes is finally getting in, though a couple of years too late to see Chris Squire on that stage.
That's BS. Emerson Lake & Palmer, possibly/arguably the premiere prog rock band of the late '60s and early '70s (okay, after the Floyd), was the foundation of my rock and roll appreciation. And I'm just one voice crying in the wilderness, but there must've been other college folk like me.
I think Bowie was inducted in 1996. edit... Prince 2004.Just a quick question-Does anyone know if Prince or David Bowie ever get inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame?
