Thanks to Steven/SEKA of the Playback message board for the question and answer this week.

I would have got this question right away for the strange reason as I found my mother watching an A&E biography of Eric Clapton two or three nights earlier which I'd seen before but started watching again. One of the facts they made was that he'd been elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame three times! Because of the OnBeat round, I know the quizwriters didn't see this show and rush it into their programming. Lucky timing although I think I would have gotten it by pitching the other answers aside.
