There's a lot of that -- John Lennon is in as a Beatle and as a solo
artist, Clapton is listed three times (Yardbirds, Cream, and solo), etc.
Don't ask me why; maybe they're trying to pad the roster? ;)

As for some of the drek they're inducting -- according to the exhibit, the
nominees are chosen by a small group of critics and industry insiders,
and only then voted on by the larger music community.  There ya have it...
