Following in the tracks of Oasis, U.K. band, Athlete would achieve some success in their native England in the mid-00’s, specifically with a number one album (Tourist).  While they never made a dent in America, Athlete’s experimental and diverse sound over the years certainly brought them acclaim, but as always, without American success, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rarely comes calling.

There have some who have claimed that Alexisonfire is responsible for putting post hardcore music on the mainstream in Canada, and maybe they are right.  What should not be disputed by anyone was that this was a loud and fun band in concert and will hold a place in the Canadian music canon.

Adam Green might be better known to some as one half of the Indie-Folk group, the Moldy Peaches, but upon the group’s breakup he has done very well for himself with more quirky folk solo albums, a respectable career in art and producing the occasional movie or two.  He isn’t likely to receive serious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame consideration, but he does have a loyal fan base.

Above & Beyond have been very successful in the genre Trance, so much so that they could be classified as one of the top five Trance bands in the 2000’s and 2010’s.  The question to be asked is this a genre that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will ever embrace, but if they don’t this is a group that has garnered a strong following in weekly shows and sold out many venues in their native England.
