The ongoing muddled history of the Brian Jonestown Massacre (so named in homage to Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones), saw forty different members pass through their ranks. The BJM usually implores a Garage based Neo-Psychedelic sound though their penchant for experimentation has always shown through. They had no trouble showing a fascination for the dark side of humanity as many of their music does show a interest to cults (their band name even implies it) and to cult like figures. Still recording and touring, the Brian Jonestown Massacre may expand their legacy and discography, but not their induction chances.
From Wales, the talent and overall ability of Super Furry Animals in unquestionable.
Sugar Ray started out as a Funk Metal/Alternative Metal Band, but their true success was when they created a slickly produced Alternative blend of Pop. Their songs were a little gimmicky, but it worked for them. Sugar Ray had enough Alt appeal to work for some of that group, and the pretty boy good looks of lead singer Mark McGrath gave them an instant female fan base. They scored two number ones and if they can gain a career renaissance in the next decade they could be a Hall surprise.
Sparklehorse was basically the one man operation of Mark Linkous who may have delivered the most introspective and morose songs of recent memory. The music of Sparklehorse was laden with antidepressants and internal conflict, yet there was a hypnotic beauty to the music. To the shock of few, Linkous committed suicide like so many in Rock has. It is possible that one day the music of Sparklehorse will become more celebrated than on college radio. It took Nick Drake decades to really become honored in the music world. The same could happen here, if it ever happens at all.
