NPG in rock and roll hall of fame?

I know Prince was inducted this year. What about NPG? Are Maceo, Candy, Rhonda, rest of NPG members also considered part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? or is it just Prince?

Sly & Family Stone were inducted and Larry Graham (band member) is considered an inductee, no?

No. Not possible. Not right now anyways, probably never.

One has to wait 25 years after the first release to be inducted in the RRHOF. It's possible that in a few years the Revolution would be inducted (their first release I guess would be 1982), but I think it's rather doubtful.

While Prince has had some tremendous musicians supporting him, I don't think RRHOF would consider them any sort of legendary cohesive or whole group. It's more like "Prince, plus those other guys helping him out" smile

Just considering how many times he replaced band members suggests they won't be inducted.
