489. Mercury Rev
The Prodigy were one of the most successful electronic bands of the 1990’s, but there were many who did not necessarily view them as electronic.

Out of Buffalo, New York, Mercury Rev did not exactly come from a musical hot spot, but they are one of those rare American bands that are bigger overseas than they are in their native country.

Running the gamut of alternative rock styles, Mercury Rev always managed to gain critical respect though that never really translated a lot to commercial sales, but they still have a very good catalogue and might see their name tossed around (for a minute) by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee.

Should Mercury Rev be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put them in! - 12.5%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 25%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 50%
No opinion. - 0%
No way! - 12.5%

The Bullet Points

  • Eligible Since: Sunday, 01 January 2017
  • Country of Origin: U.S.A. (Buffalo, New York)
  • Why they will get in: They did earn critical respect.
  • Why they won't get in: While the above is true, it was not nearly enough to generate a serious Hall run.
  • Essential Albums: Boces (1993)
    See You on the Other Side (1995)
    Deserter’s Songs (1998)
    Snowflake Midnight (2008)
  • Our Five Favorite Songs as Chosen by Each Member of the NIHOF Committee: Boys Peel Out (From Boces, 1993)
    Something for Joey (From Boces, 1993)
    Hudson Line (From Deserter’s Songs, 1998)
    Opus 40 (From Deserter’s Songs, 1998)
    Autums in the Air (From The Light in You, 2015)
