550. Gojira

From France, Gojira became one of the most successful and influential death metal acts worldwide, blending progressive sounds and lyrics that brought them notoriety stateside.  Still relevant as of this writing, Gojira even appeared at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Paris Olympics, and if that isn't a form of validation, we aren’t sure what else is!

Does this mean “validation” from the Rock Hall?

We doubt it.
