They did not become as successful as some of the Emo bands they inspired, but Saves the Day had a decent career in their own right. A very energetic band, the New Jersey group may not have been darlings of the critics but their fans were not exactly the type who cared less.

In terms of lineage, Rufus Wainwright was born to be Singer/Songwriter and he has not disappointed. He churns out beautiful album after beautiful album and though the world hasn’t completely took notice, those in the musical know have. Any chance he has for the Hall of Fame though greatly depends on whether some of the legendary songwriters of the past get in first.

Rob Zombie may be better known as a director or for leading White Zombie, but he did have a decent solo career of note continuing with the Horror themed Science Fiction that he excels at. As such, as talented as Zombie is overall, his musical career may be far too one dimensional to get a serious look from the Hall.

With distinct riffs and precise timing, Queens of the Stone Age cultivated a broad appeal. They had a throwback quality to Classic Rock fans though with a current modern and Alternative feel. As such, they managed significant radio play without having to sacrifice what made them unique as a band. As of this writing, they would likely have to increase their catalogue of music to enter the Hall as the backlog of qualified artists is certainly staggering.
