All girl? Check! All party? Check? All Fun? Check! All Hall of Fame? Well……   The Donnas may be perfect as a cult band, and frankly they are perfect in that in role, but to position them as an influential Hall of Fame outfit would be a large stretch and we doubt even the band will be offended by that statement. 

You would initially think that the Crystal Method were British as they had a very similar sound to the Big Beat Rock styled Electronica that was popular in the U.K. in the late 90’s, but this was an American born outfit from Las Vegas. As such, they could very well be one of the most successful American groups of that genre for that time period, but what does this mean for Hall of Fame enshrinement?  

Virtually impossible to categorize, The Avalanches were a virtual smorgasbord of Electronic based music out of an unlikely place (Australia). Although they had one very critically respected album, they did not do much else and one acclaimed (yet relatively unpurchased) album does not a Hall of Fame career make.

Initially a contemporary Christian Rock band, Switchfoot transitioned into a very solid Rock band with a lot of mainstream appeal. As they hit it bigger a few years after the Grunge/Alternative boom was over, the band did not face the backlash that other bands with a similar sound faced only a half-decade before did, and with other Christian Rock bands who had successfully crossed over before, they were not considered preachy either like their predecessors had. This seems to be a case of a band that arrived at the right time to be successful.
