16. Smashing Pumpkins

Jan 09, 2016
Published in Rock and Roll
16. Smashing Pumpkins
Easily one of the most important Alternative bands of the 1990’s, the Smashing Pumpkins were able to become Alternative stars without sounding like the Grunge stars that they were often lumped in with.  The Pumpkins could master varying emotions effortlessly easily delivering songs with unparalleled sorrow to tunes of blistering rage.  They delivered these skills to the video medium, and their overall videos of the 90’s are on par with any other band that could be named.  Billy Corgan and company may not get in on the first year of eligibility, but for a few years they were right there at the top. This could be anywhere from a quick induction to a twenty year wait.

334. Primus

334. Primus
Musically, they may have a Funk Metal type of groove about them, but categorizing Primus in any capacity seems so difficult.  Their irreverent approach to music making may have made them one of the more misunderstood bands, though they may have been able to make a claim for a band whose fans were among the most devoted.  Any remote Hall chance they have would revolve around the musical reverence of bassist/vocalist Les Claypool, whose talent is certainly Hall of Fame worthy.  The odds are that the Hall just won’t get them.

399. Moby

Jan 09, 2016
Published in Rock and Roll
399. Moby
One of the top Electronic figures of the 90’s, Moby was also among the most controversial.  He was not a straight laced star in a partying genre and not necessarily the one that others wanted to see become the face of Electronica.  Still, his ability to ease into pure Techno, Ambient and virtually any Electronic based musical format has to be applauded and with a long string of hits he is certainly among the most successful.  Chances are that none of this will be enough to warrant serious Hall consideration.

100. Mariah Carey

Jan 09, 2016

Mariah Carey
Her huge success is unquestionable. Mariah Carey is not only one of the most successful artists all time in the United States but in the world.

Her vocal skills are undeniable, and when people discuss who is the greatest singer ever, her name belongs in the discussion.
