When it comes to passionate fanbases there are few that can match up with Korn, the Nu-Metal band (a label they are not fond of) from Bakersfield, California.

Still very much active and still recording, Jimmy Eat World is a key band credited with the Emo scene which first gained prominence in the 90’s.  It was at the turn of the millennium though when their catchy Pop Emo hybrid songs really caught the band National attention.  They aren’t a Hall of Fame band at present, but they still have a lot of juice left in them.   

Many Singer/Songwriter types don’t have that Rock and Roll type of voice but that was not the case for Jeff Buckley as his voice was full of grit, soul and was a throwback to the classic rock era of the late 60’s and early 70’s.  Maybe, it was this aspect that helped him appeal so strongly to the Adult Alternative set and why he continues to gain copious amounts of fans well after his death. 

Like many Alternative bands, Grandaddy was at their best when they merged old with new.  Their most praised work showcased their ability to use Electronic textures over a Folksy type sound.  Lyrically, they followed a similar vein exploring technology from seemingly a rural American point of view.  They were a good and quirky little band but that is not the type that the Hall looks for.  It doesn’t help their cause that they didn’t seem to be the most influential band and with them currently disbanded they will not have the opportunity to add to their discography.
