Like many Alternative bands, Grandaddy was at their best when they merged old with new.  Their most praised work showcased their ability to use Electronic textures over a Folksy type sound.  Lyrically, they followed a similar vein exploring technology from seemingly a rural American point of view.  They were a good and quirky little band but that is not the type that the Hall looks for.  It doesn’t help their cause that they didn’t seem to be the most influential band and with them currently disbanded they will not have the opportunity to add to their discography.

The Fugees have been called a one album wonder, and that is a statement that bears a bit of truth as their debut album in 1994 was not popular nor was it that critically acclaimed.  However, the album that was considered to be that one album of greatness (The Score) was a brilliant effort that was amongst the best that Hip Hop had to offer.
