156. Faith No More

Though it is forgotten by the new generation, there was a time when those who loved Hard Rock/Metal would have nothing to do with those who loved Hip Hop. They seemed like such polar opposites that it seemed virtually impossible for the two camps to possibly merge. After Faith No More arrived, a lot of music fans didn’t think they were so different after all.

If you had more hits than the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined you would think that you may be a lock for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, in the muddled case of Cliff Richard & the Shadows, this was a chart distinction held in Great Britain and not Stateside.

68. Brent Sutter

Typically, if you are considered the best hockey player in your family, it isn’t much of an accolade.  This was not the case for Brent Sutter, who may have been the most talented of what could be the most storied set of siblings in professional hockey.  The Sutters were known for their work ethic, and Brent was no exception. Brent Sutter was known for doing all the small intangibles that made a team successful, and yet he still achieved over 800 points in his career. He likely won’t get in, but should he slip in, it might be a celebration of the Sutter family as a whole.

It is difficult to argue that Fleetwood Mac should not be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but what of their breakout star, Stevie Nicks? Certainly she had a successful solo career and her look was copied enough, but it is also easy to counter that her best work was in the band that first made her a star.
