In Canada, it could be argued that the most successful home grown Alternative Rock act would be Our Lady Peace. They always charted well in Canada and with a melodic structure that echoed Classic Rock and a uniquely voiced lead singer (Raine Maida), it does not take Canadians long to identify an OLP song when it appears on the radio. This is a resume that will get them in the Canadian Hall, but what of Cleveland? They have penetrated the U.S. market, and with some recognition south of border they have built up a remote possibility for a future induction. Just a remote one though.
