Which musician is the only artist inducted into the Rock Hall twice in the same year?

Stephen Stills is the only artist inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice in the same year.

The unusual double honor occurred in 1997, when Stills was inducted both with Buffalo Springfield and with Crosby, Stills & Nash. Buffalo Springfield, formed in Los Angeles in 1966, helped establish Stills as a major guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist; its best-known song is “For What It’s Worth.” CSN brought together Stills, David Crosby, and Graham Nash in a harmony-driven supergroup whose 1969 debut became a landmark album.

The wording matters: Stills was inducted twice in the same induction cycle, not twice as a solo performer. Neil Young also belonged to Buffalo Springfield and was later inducted for his solo career, but he was not part of the Rock Hall’s CSN induction. Graham Nash and David Crosby likewise have separate Hall histories, but neither shares Stills’ same-year double induction distinction.

Stills’ two 1997 honors reflect two different bands and two influential chapters of his career.
