even as capricious/inexplicable as the hall of fame's choices over the years have been, that one is hard to fathom.

Yeah, I can see where he, as a musician, might not belong in the hall.  However, having gone to his John Mayall Band/Bluesbreakers concerts in the late '60s, early '70s, I can say that they were hall worthy.  I missed the Clapton period (which included McVie, Jack Bruce, Peter Green at times), but was there for Mick Taylor & Mark/Almond versions (among others).  "Turning Point" and "Back to the Roots" releases are indicative.  Priceless contribution to Rock history (& some jazz/rock fusion).
