61. Queens of the Stone Age

With distinct riffs and precise timing, Queens of the Stone Age cultivated a broad appeal. They had a throwback quality to Classic Rock fans though with a current modern and Alternative feel. As such, they managed significant radio play without having to sacrifice what made them unique as a band. As of this writing, they would likely have to increase their catalogue of music to enter the Hall as the backlog of qualified artists is certainly staggering.
