Originally the backing group for Ronnie Hawkins, than Bob Dylan, the Band came by their name naturally as they were often the band that was backing up other stars. When they struck out on their own they created the best Roots Rock of their day (or any other day) and their first two albums (Music Form Big Pink & The Band) are enough to warrant their induction.

Inducted in 1994.From Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Rick Danko (bass, vocals), Levon Helm (drums, mandolin, vocals), Garth Hudson (organ, horns), Richard Manuel (piano, drums, vocals), Robbie Robertson (guitar)
