Embracing their Irish roots and with White Rappers slowly being accepted by this point, House of Pain managed to score big with the International hit, Jump Around. They did record three albums, but try to find anyone who knows anything other than that one major hit. Not exactly a Hall of Fame resume. 

Generally Heavy Metal is not associated with innovation, but Fear Factory is definitely an exception to that statement. Blending Death/Industrial Metal with Electronica, Fear Factory continued the evolution of Metal and inspired another wave of headbanging musicians. Creatively, the band also explored complex lyrics and was known for taking their listeners on a journey throughout their albums. Their limited Hall of Fame chances however lie upon whether their Metal forefathers get in. 

Although English Singer/Songwriter David Gray never hit it big in the United States, he did manage to establish himself at home. With a fiery vocal style and an earnest delivery, Gray was easily among the best of his genre for his time.

With that said, they have announced a return and you never know what it is possible for the California rockers.
