An exceptional Heavy Metal band, Sevendust has had a consistent career of producing respected albums, though doing so without having that breakthrough to the mainstream that other bands with weaker resumes have done. They are still very much active and could still have that album that could make a mass audience go back and look at their entire catalogue.

If you were in to slickly produced Pop, there was few better than Australia’s Savage Garden. Although they only had two albums, they sold well and churned out hits internationally. Pop in its purest form has entered the Hall (ABBA), but the body of work pales in comparison to the Swedish stars. Basically, we can’t see this happening.

From the Elephant 6 group (maybe that should be a Rock and Roll HOF induction), of Montreal could be the best project yet. Led by Kevin Barnes, the material of this band covers a wide range of emotions and experimental sounds without going too far in the land of quirkiness. This is one of those bands that has the potential to be viewed upon very highly over time.

O.A.R. (Of a Revolution) has slowly been making head way in the Alternative Rock world. Every album they did, slowly built on the success they had before. This being said, the band has a lot of building still left to do if they want to be considered a Hall of Fame type outfit.
