10 Rock Musicians Who Should Become Two-Time Hall Of Famers

10. John Cale

Lou Reed may get a lot of the credit for the Velvet Underground, but it's important to remember that it was not a one-man project.

Alongside ol' Lou-Lou was John Cale, a Welshman who somehow found his way over to America in the early 1960s. Though a classical musician to begin with, Cale discovered a passion for rock 'n' roll and, along with Reed and few others, formed the Underground in 1964.

You know the rest.

They may have gotten their induction in 1996, but The Velvet Underground weren't all that successful during their initial run and actually disbanded in 1973, so what did Cale do next? Work on some of the most important records of the day, that's what.

In 1975, he produced Horses, the ground-breaking debut record of punk artist Patti Smith, and he's since gone on to work with everyone from Sham 69 to Squeeze, Happy Mondays to Manic Street Preachers. Oh, and he also produced The Stooges' first record in 1969.

All of this is without mentioning his stellar solo work and his career as a film scorer. He did the music for American Psycho, for goodness sake!
