Some have called them Alternative Country, but the classification of Nashville’s Lambchop proves to be a difficult one.  The reality is that Lambchop seems to draw from multiple influences so effortlessly that it was hard to peg and even harder to go mainstream.  Not that this is a bad thing, as this was a band that wasn’t meant for mass acceptance but meant to be one of the top Indy bands of their day.  As we know, Indie Rock + Rock and Roll Hall of Fame generally equals having to buy a ticket to enter. 

Although they may have the most dedicated following of anyone on this list the odds of Insane Clown Posse ever getting into the Hall could be the lowest of anyone on this list.  Sure they sold records and filled concert halls and literally created their own brand; but it was that cartoonish Hardcore Hip Hop style that gained them little fans in the critical world, and for every music fan that reveres them, there can be easily found a fan who detests them.  Not exactly the formula for induction, not that ICP or their fans would care anyway. 

Now that Dr. Dre (approrpriately) got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of N.W.A., the question we ask now is whether he should get in as a solo act.  Already making a more than strong case as a producer, Dr. Dre’s solo efforts and collaborations are amongst the most respected in the Hip-Hop world.  A second induction for Dre is a possibility.
