The first inductees to the Rock Hall of Fame in 1986 were:
* Buddy Holly
* Chuck Berry
* Elvis Presley
* Fats Domino
* James Brown
* Jerry Lee Lewis
* Little Richard
* Ray Charles
* Sam Cooke
* The Everly Brothers
I firmly believe Bill Haley should've been inducted the first year also. Haley just never got the respect he deserved. Today his importance just isn't understood.
Also, the Rock Hall of Fame needs to change their name to the Pop Hall of Fame, now that they're inducting rap/hip-hop acts etc.
