There are many who will look at Rihanna and state that this is not a rock star and a mega-pop star at best. 

Let’s say she is, and if that is all, the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame have inducted people as popular for as long as Rihanna. 

Most people internationally are only aware of Peter Bjorn and John for their 2006 hit, “Young Folks”, a beautiful and melodic alt-pop song.  The bulk of their music follows suit, though the North American perception that the Swedish Indie Rock band is a one hit wonder certainly makes it difficult for them to gain any Rock and Roll Hall of Fame momentum.

Underground rapper, P.O.S. (an acronym for many things) is actually a consummate multi-instrumental musician and often fronts hardcore punk bands.  Basically, we are saying that with P.O.S., you generally don’t know what you are going to get, though we also know that not to many know who he is at all.

While it is easy to throw My Chemical Romance in to the Emo genre (a label they actually hate), there will be many who will accurately point out that this is a band that has evolved their sound throughout the years and of the Punk Pop revival bands are amongst the most successful.  There is also a pageantry to their music that some could argue is a throwback to the 1970’s.
