Pharrell Williams became a very large name on his own, but this side project from the Neptunes generated solid success in the 2000’s with their patented slick production and funky vibes.  As much as Pharrell did well on his own, we are hoping that people (and not necessarily the Hall, because that won’t happen) do not forget what occurred here.

A major star in the field of Country Music, Miranda Lambert has a lot in common with many past stars of the genre; they won’t get inducted here.

Lo-Fi (if that is how you define Midlake) has not yet had a represent challenge the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but if someone does, it will probably have to be a group that has had a little more commercial success than this group of Texans.

Lostprophets were able to sell quite a bit of albums in the United Kingdom, where the Welsh band’s brand of Nu-Metal was well received.  Unfortunately, we know that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which does love the United Kingdom, but only when they make an impact in the United States.  Beyond a couple songs on the U.S. Alternative charts, that didn’t happen here.
