10 Rock Musicians Who Should Become Two-Time Hall Of Famers
6. Brian Eno
If you like ambient music, then you have a lot to thank Mr. Brian Eno for. If you don't, then you're probably not going to enjoy this entry.
Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno, which is apparently his full name, became a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer in 2019, when he was inducted as part of Roxy Music. Alongside his fellow members, one of which was Bryan Ferry, Eno made a splash on the chart scene with songs like Love is the Drug, Angel Eyes, and More Than This.
However, it could be argued that Eno's most important work happened outside of the band's orbit.
As a solo artist, he pioneered the ambient genre, literally giving it its name with his 1978 album Ambient 1: Music for Airports. As a producer, he worked with huge names like Genesis, Talking Heads, U2, and David Bowie, for whom he produced the iconic Berlin trilogy in the late 70s.
Whether as a solo act or in the Non-Performers category, Eno definitely deserves another spot in the Hall. If Ferry gets in again before he does, then there will be riots.
