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

8. Chas Chandler

Though not nearly as well-remembered as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, or The Kinks, The Animals were right at the front of the initial British Invasion of America in the 60s.

With tracks like The House of the Rising Sun, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, and We Gotta Get Out of This Place in their arsenal, the group were popular on both sides of the Atlantic, and, as a result, were inducted into the Hall in 1994.

As The Animals' original bass player, Chas Chandler became a Hall of Famer in '94, but his biggest impact on the business would not be with a bass, but rather with a pen.

In 1966, Chandler spotted a young man playing guitar in a café in New York City. He called himself Jimmy James at the time, but he would eventually become known around the world by his real name of Jimi Hendrix.

As Hendrix's manager, Chandler helped the young star grow into a worldwide phenomenon, helping to create dozens of memorable songs and moments in the process.

Chandler absolutely deserves a non-performer's induction for this accolade. Just imagine a world without Jimi Hendrix.
