Broken Social Scene redefined the concept of a "band" by operating as an expansive, rotating musical collective that became the epicenter of the 21st-century Canadian indie rock explosion. Their style is characterized by a "maximalist" approach to production, often blending atmospheric post-rock textures with infectious baroque pop melodies. This sound is best exemplified on their 2002 masterpiece You Forgot It in People, which layers interlocking guitars, lush horn arrangements, and a "controlled chaos" of vocals that shift between fragile whispers and anthemic shouts. They served as a launching pad for future stars like Feist, Metric, and Stars.

Saying that, if they ever got in, how many members (they have had as many as 19 members at one time) would they induct?

Broken Social Scene is the perfect example of the increased popularity and attention towards music in Canada.  The band, which constantly has over twelve members are capable of some of the most textured music in Canadian Indie Rock, and though the respect level for this band is high, Broken Social Scene would unfortunately have to have a solid breakthrough in the United States to crack a slot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
