448. Ben Harper

Should induction be based on pure musical talent alone, Ben Harper would be considered by many as a shoe in for induction when eligible.  Harper seems comfortable performing music in any style and his concerts are journeys that reflect his abundant skills.  With songwriting ability on par with his musicianship, Harper became a beloved on college radio and the Jam band circuit, but not a whole lot of other places.  Since that never really happened, an induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seems unlikely but his respect level from those aware of his music is very high.

288. Aaliyah

Had Aaliyah not perished in a plane crash in 2001, what would her relevance be today?  In the time she was alive, she had hit albums and was in hit movies and by all accounts was on a track to be among the top entertainers in the world.  The music she did do has been labeled as a link between R&B and Electronica and depending on how much credit she gets for that (or how much is given to her producers) she could receive a posthumous induction.  This should be very interesting.

415. At the Drive-in

Just when it thought that At the Drive-in was poised for a breakthrough they broke up.  The Texas based band reined as an important act of the Post-Hardcore scene.  Their music was well crafted and among the most cerebral and cryptic of its time.  They developed a sizeable cult following but as we have seen from the Hall and discussed on this site, cult bands, regardless of how good they might be very rarely receive consideration for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but perhaps considering some of the members would form the highly acclaimed, Mars Volta, maybe there is a shot.

475. Roxette

As the second most famous band from Sweden, Roxette scored many a hit in North America and Europe with their catchy hooks and sweet sounding Pop songs. This formula made them very successful and popular but with the lone exception of their Swedish brethren, ABBA, there really isn’t a pure Pop band in the Hall. Considering that it took ABBA a long time to get in, and that frankly Roxette is not at the level of ABBA, it doesn’t seem that Roxette really has a shot.
