The 32nd Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held this Friday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The 2017 inductees are Pearl Jam, and Tupac Shakur, Yes, Joan Baez, Electric Light Orchestra, and Journey. Here are some of our favorite Hall of Famers from year’s past…

James Taylor wrote about fire and rain – the dangers of addition, reminding us, that all you have to do is call, as you’ve always got a friend.

Crosby Stills and Nash inspired us to carry on, writing about insurrection, protest, inequality, and the value of teaching our children.
