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.

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".
