As of this writing Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but easily could be at some point (hopefully we remember to edit this when it happens).  Tom Morello (RATM) and Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) were mutually in Audioslave, who showed great potential were not around long enough to warrant any real consideration, though we suspect that Morello and Cornell have other avenues to enter the Hall.

Following in the tracks of Oasis, U.K. band, Athlete would achieve some success in their native England in the mid-00’s, specifically with a number one album (Tourist).  While they never made a dent in America, Athlete’s experimental and diverse sound over the years certainly brought them acclaim, but as always, without American success, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rarely comes calling.

There have some who have claimed that Alexisonfire is responsible for putting post hardcore music on the mainstream in Canada, and maybe they are right.  What should not be disputed by anyone was that this was a loud and fun band in concert and will hold a place in the Canadian music canon.

Adam Green might be better known to some as one half of the Indie-Folk group, the Moldy Peaches, but upon the group’s breakup he has done very well for himself with more quirky folk solo albums, a respectable career in art and producing the occasional movie or two.  He isn’t likely to receive serious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame consideration, but he does have a loyal fan base.
