Selling well over thirty million albums worldwide, Aqua may have been an International well known Bubblegum act but they have may have among the lowest Rock and Roll credibility and influence of anyone that we mention here. This is far from what belongs in Cleveland.  

With a name like Anti-Flag you would expect to hear an anti-establishment Punk Band, and that is exactly what you get! They wear the American flag upside down and though they don’t seem to have much positive to say about anything, you never have to guess where they are coming from. A Punk band with decent ability, Anti-Flag may fly the Punk flag which the Hall of Fame loves, but remember they likely fly that one upside down too! 

If Heavy Metal is having trouble getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is there any real reason to think that any Metalcore band will enter? I think we know the answer. If any does, perhaps it might be the hard working Christian influenced, Zao from West Virginia who established a solid core following in the late 90’s….but again, who are we kidding?

Kim Deal should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in some capacity, though we do not think that her post Breeders project, The Amps, will be the way in which she enters Cleveland. With only one album, which although was very good, the Amps were a nice footnote to her stellar career, but not much more than that.
