217. The Black Crowes

A straight up Bluesy Rock band in a time when that was not in vogue, the Black Crowes echoes the Classic Rock bands of the past and were a breath of fresh air to those tired of the made up Hair metal acts who were about to be phased out.   Chris Robinson and company definitely had a retro feel to it and their Southern Rock styling got them airplay on Rock stations across the country.  Had their success in the 90’s carried over into the new millennium their Hall of Fame chances would have improved.  As such they are a wild card shot at best when they are eligible.
