==Legacy== The Mamas & the Papas was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] in 1998, the [[Vocal Group Hall of Fame]] in 2000, and the Hit Parade Hall of Fame in 2009. Cass Elliot and Michelle Phillips, as "the Mamas", were ranked No. 21 on the VH1 network's list of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock. The band received a box set when the four-CD ''Complete Anthology'' was released in the UK in September 2004 and in the US in January 2005. It contains the five studio albums, the live album from Monterey, selections from their solo work and rarities including their first sessions with Barry McGuire.<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/album/complete-anthology-mw0000744068 The Mamas & the Papas: ''Complete Anthology''], Allmusic.
