180. Ryan Adams
Sep 23, 2012
Published in
Rock and Roll
Calling Ryan Adams just a Singer/Songwriter is such a misnomer. He has the look and attitude of a Rock Star yet is a major force in Alternative Country. Regardless of what style you want to place Ryan Adams, he is a musical genius regardless. Of course, there are many talented acts who have yet to get into the Hall, but Adams has an intangible that can’t be ignored.

Relient K

2023 Rock Eligibles
Not exactly beloved by the critics (though what Christian Rock band is?), Relient K was able to secure a large fan base in the Christian demographic. What does this mean for a Hall of Fame birth? Our guess is virtually nothing, as there is no evidence that this is the type of band that can get enshrined, and if it is to be proven wrong, this is not likely the group to do it.

2025 Rock Eligibles
Rascal Flatts is another act that should be well on the way to the Country Music Hall of Fame, but will struggle completely to even sniff a shred of support for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Even if a pure Country act gets in from the last twenty years, Rascal Flatts likely won’t be it as they aren’t the deepest of the New Country genre.
Plain White T's

2025 Rock Eligibles
Although they are a Pop/Punk band, it was an acoustic song that placed them on the top of the world with their smash hit, “Hey There Delilah”. The band did have other minor hits, but for the most part, they are known for that one single. It is hard to imagine a band known primarily for only one song; especially one that isn’t exactly indicative of their overall body of work.
