The Plebeian Music Club (PMC) is a book club that revolves around music rather than books. Recently, the PMC decided to establish a music Hall of Fame (HOF) that will induct fifty musicians/bands into the PMC HOF each year. As is clear from the initial selections listed below, the five PMC electors support good music without regard to strict categories... Some of the inductees would be categorized as rock, some as folk, some as popular, some as soul... It doesn't matter, as music is one of the very best things in life.
