As one of the most successful group of the 90’s, TLC had a large string of hits that combined Hip Hop, Pop and other forms of Dance music.  As successful as they were, they were equally controversial as they were involved in as much personal turmoil as any Male Hip Hop figure of the decade.  Behind all that lay a threesome that were very capable as musicians, and they were certainly more successful than most.  Had band member, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes not died prematurely, their overall discography would likely be stronger and more deep as opposed to the four albums they put out.

Incorrectly classified by some as a one hit wonder (their monster hit Bittersweet Symphony overshadowed everything else they ever did), the Verve developed a beautiful sound that combined Psychedelic, Space Rock and Shoegazing genres.  The result was a richly textured and sweet sound that often seemed a little ahead of what was going on around them.  Again, like others from Britain, they might find themselves lumped in with the Oasis and Blurs of the world and their potential look from the Hall may go those aforementioned bands instead. 

Although they may have had a limited discography, the California-based band, Sublime generated a sizable impact.  They first gained attention with the Punk revival movement of the early 90s, but with their infusion of Ska and Reggae.  Possibly, the top group flying the Third Wave Ska flag, Sublime’s Hall chances may be aided by the sympathy of the premature death of their lead singer, Bradley Nowell, but without a member of the second wave of Ska in, their chances become somewhat muddled. 

When many people first heard Stone Temple Pilots, they were quick to label them as knock-offs of Nirvana and Pearl Jam.  This was an unfair tag, as there were many Grunge bands who came out around the same time, and this was a band who stuck around for an extended period of time and left behind a long lasting series of hits that are well remembered and cross varying facets of the rock and roll spectrum.
