Another important Punk band from Los Angeles, Bad Religion achieved the rare feat of selling multiple records without losing their status in the Underground scene. Always evolving, Bad Religion would always flirt with other musical styles though keep them in Hardcore Punk setting. Bad Religion could squeak into the Hall in years to come as they have a representation of Punk and Los Angeles and could potentially overtake a slot that could be earmarked for earlier L.A. bands.

This is one of the most prolific "punk" ; bands of all time...not to mention their lead singer, Dr. Greg Graffin has won the "Humanitar ian of the Year" honor from none other than the prestigious Harvard University...19 studio albums, with the latest one just released December 2010...they have stood the test of time and are still phenomenal...bu t have a dictionary handy...some of the lyrics are extremely deep...

BR's Brett Gurewitz also deserves mention with Graffin.

He's as responsible as anyone for the sales and success of The Offspring, among other bands.

    With a radio and MTV friendly brand of Alternative music, Collective Soul carved out a respectable career of hits in the 90’s and early millennium.
