Traffic

Traffic was a jazz rock band best known for featuring Steve Winwood. They were a good choice to induct, with most of their albums being certified. They were also a good pioneer of instrumental rock, making them one of the original jam bands along with Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Big Brother and the Holding Company. They also pioneered blue-eyed soul along with Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Joe Cocker, and The Rascals. Winwood went on to have a successful solo career. They were inducted by blues rock musician and jam musician Dave Matthews. They performed at the Woodstock silver anniversary concert.
