238. System of a Down

On paper, System of a Down has all the intangibles that should make them a Hall of Fame inductee. They have acclaimed records, Grammy Awards, a legion of fans and a unique sound. The band successfully merged Metal, Rock, Experimentalism and the Middle East and should make the Hall of Fame’s influence quotient. Yet, there are bands like this that Cleveland tends to ignore, and something tells us that System of a Down could be one of those groups. We hope we are wrong, but they have to knick another album out if the park to make sure.
