For a brief time, Puddle of Mudd managed to have one of the more successful “Post Grunge” careers, but their run in the mainstream basically construed a one album period, that did not exactly get the critics salivating.  Say what you want about critical love, but we all know that matters in this Hall of Fame.

Yep.  This guy.  For whatever it is worth, he is eligible this early though no matter what happens, this is the man who gave is “Gangnam Style” years ago.  What does that mean here?   Not a whole hell of a lot.

With a decent career in the early 2000’s as a Singer/Songwriter, Pete Yorn would become well known for his multi-faceted ability to play multiple instruments on his recordings.  Yorn would achieve critical success, though not necessarily the commercial level that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is likely to look at.

Perhaps a dark horse contender (or a solid early entry if there is ever a Heavy Metal Hall of Fame) Mastodon could one day slip in should some of the bands they took over the mantle from (namely Pantera and Biohazard) ever receive the love from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that so many Metal fans claim is missing.  This a very well respected and well loved band, but Metal seems so far removed from what the Rock Hall deems “worthy”.
