Taking and Rock and Roll and the Symphony to the next level, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is not known for their albums (although they have sold millions) but for their brilliant concerts that transcends generations. This isn’t exactly a Hall of Fame entity, but there should be some Hall reserved for this type of brilliant fusion. We just aren’t sure what it is. 

This one could be VERY interesting. Although they were dismissed as fluff when they came out, the Spice Girls sold a ton of records and their “Girl Power” became an International anthem. The amazing this is, here we are years later and they are still all over pop culture even though they have not recorded anything new in what seems like forever. The Rock history is not yet written on the Spice Girls, but could they be more influential than we ever gave them credit for? 

From Finland, the Rasmus dominated the Hard Rock scene in their native country and throughout Scandinavia and parts of Europe. Again, we know the score; a band has to conquer the States to have any reasonable shot for the Hall of Fame, but if there is a Finnish Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (and for the record, we really are not that curious) they would be a lock.

Redefining popular music from Sweden, The Hives quarterbacked the Garage Rock sound in the new millennium and became one of the ‘it’ bands. Stylistically brilliant, powerful to the ears and the type of Rock that makes people take notice could be a formula to Cleveland but there is still a bit of work to do for the Hives to separate themselves from the pack.
