The Yardbirds
Inducted by The Edge
The Yardbirds are an English rock band as of 1963. The core of the band included Keith Relf (harmonica, vocals), Jim McCarty (drums), Chris Dreja (guitar, bass), and Paul Samwell-Smith (bass, producer). The core dissolved and led to a revolving door of members,
For a brief period of time, The Yardbirds featured Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck. The band is credited for the successful careers each guitarist went on to have. (All three ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists.)
The Yardbirds ranked No. 89 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
The band played blues and pop styles but paved the way for psychedelic rock and hard rock...even punk rock, progressive rock, and heavy metal influences.
The background of The Yardbirds is broken down by major guitarists - the band with Eric Clapton, the band with Jeff Beck, and the band with Jimmy Page. A later category includes the formation of Led Zeppelin by Jimmy Page. Each broken down section tells its own story.
Outside of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, there is no mention of honors or other accolades.
At the end of the day, history is prominent over awards,

The Isley Brothers
Inducted by Little Richard
Side Note - Little Richard was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and also inducted Otis Redding in the Class of 1988.
The Isley Brothers consist of O'Kelly Isley Jr., Rudolph Isley, and Ronald Isley. (The fourth sibling, Vernon, joined but passed away shortly thereafter.)
Noteworthy mentions -
Added to Hollywood's RockWalk
"Shout" - Sold over one million copies
"Twist and Shout" - Top 20 single
Grammy Award for "It's Your Thing"
In the whole of the 1970s, the Isley Brothers recorded and released top albums, including the No. 1 The Heat Is On.
In the 1980s, the group (which would also include Ernie Isley, Marvin Isley, and Rudolph's brother-in-law, Chris Jasper) began to dismantle. In 1983, Ernie, Marven, and Chris briefly worked as a trio, but success was not meant to be. In 1986, O'Kelly passed away. Rudolph and Ronald released two albums before Rudolph left to join a Christian ministry in 1989.
Ronald brought back many of the former members - Ernie and Marvin. Although Marvin later left due to health issues, Ronald and Ernie achieved duo success with such albums as Mission to Please (1996), Eternal (2001), and Body Kiss (2003).
Ronald and Ernie continue to perform as a duo to date.

In months past, I went live with the peak of concert excerpts from a variety of established and iconic musicians. The frigid air on this November Friday recalls the crisp October air settled into New York City's Times Square when Duran Duran stopped by Good Morning America while on tour for Astronaut.
In this launch edition of Shout Out Friday, let's go some place a bit musically warmer - "Hotel California."
