Lauryn Hill might get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Fugees, but there is a contingent that thinks she has earned a spot in Cleveland based on her solo work; even though that is really only one album. Still, that chance can’t be discounted as that album is easily one of the best of the late 90s and was a landmark effort in both Neo-Soul, R&B, and Hip Hop and justifiably won multiple Grammy Awards. Had Hill not forsaken her career for a dislike of the spotlight, she would be a lock for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; as of right now, we have no idea.

One of the more successful Gothic labeled bands of the last ten years, Lacuna Coil has one of their more rabid fan bases of any band in the world. With powerful Metal music and dark imagry, their concerts are like few others and though they are not likely to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, ask their fans if they could care less.

Very respected either as a solo or with her partner in Frou Frou, Imogen Heap is a Grammy Award winning artist who may not have a lot of popularity in the United States, though is beloved by the music writers. Heap’s blend of Alternative and Electronica is the perfect mix for her embracement of technology and visual aspects to her performances. She isn’t likely to receive a Hall of Fame look, but when her career is over she should be revered somewhere.

Probably about as straight up a rock band as the United Kingdom had in the turn of the millennium, Gomez was a nice diversion from the many Alternative slanted bands that populated the British scene. Actually, calling them a diversion was a bit of a misnomer as they did sell a large amount of albums and won some good press in the British music magazines. This is one of those bands that you wonder why they didn’t make it in the States.
