The Yardbirds

The Yardbirds was a garage rock band and an early member of the British Invasion. They were one of the "scruffier" bands such as The Rolling Stones or The Kinks. They were also the original band for Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. The Yardbirds would manage to garner a few hit singles such as For Your Love and Shapes of Things. Clapton would go on to found psychedelic rock band Cream and have a successful solo career. He is thus far the only artist to be inducted into the actual hall of fame three times. Rod Stewart would have if Beck had been inducted with his group, as Stewart was inducted with Faces as well as solo. Member Jimmy Page was also a member of Led Zeppelin and collaborated with Robert Plant of space rock band Pink Floyd as well as Southern Rock revival band The Black Crowes. The Yardbirds' song Over, Under, Sideways, Down was the inspiration for the Romantics hit What I Like About You.
