I was involved in a conversation at a party last night, and we were talking about the rock and roll hall of fame. This year Rush and Heart are being inducted and a few others. Someone pointed out that since the rules of this hall of fame call for 25 years of being successful in the public eye, that bands that started in the mid 1990's and the 2000's would eventually be up for nomination. He then went on the ask, can we name a band that Started in 1995 or later that we felt might be up for such as 2020 arrives. No one could come up with a band that was a crowd pleaser, and that we felt had the kind of staying power needed. Whether we liked the band or not did not matter. So, can anyone name a band or musical act that started post 1995 and you think will be around and successful to join the hall of fame when the time comes?

I don't know if he'll be first ballot, but I bet Cee Lo Green gets in. First recording 1995...sang on Rolling Stone's "Song of the Decade" (2000-2009).

Not sure when they started, but Green Day seems like they might make it one day.

Although they started in the early 90's, The Dave Mathews Band is the only one I can think of that might.
One other thought might be Jack White. It's funny you brought that up, it occurred to me that I haven't bought anywhere close to as much music as I did in the 70's and 80's. just not hearing a lot out there that I really like.

The Foo Fighters come to mind.

I'm going to put my teen perspective on this.
In my opinion, Green Day was the best band an musical act of the 2000s decade. They technically started in the late 80s, but became popular in 1995 with their album "Dookie." They have stayed in the public eye ever since, most notably creating the rock-opera "American Idiot" it 2004 which is considered to be one of the best political punk albums of all time. In fact, the CD creating a mini-cult around it, and became a legendary piece of music for young kids such as myself. Their latest three albums (Uno, Dos and Tre), wall of which have come out in the past year, have been somewhat lackluster, but they do not tarnish the entire career of the illustrious Green Day punks. The Foo Fighters were formed by Dave Grohl, who was the drummer of Nirvana during their fast but music-changing tenure. After Kurt Cobain's suicide, Grohl formed Nirvana in the mid-nineties. Since thier first album in 1995, the Fighters have made a name for themselves by releasing radio hits that showcase th post-grunge era. Many people have been exposed to them from games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero, where many of their songs have appeared. Otherwise, hits such as "The Pretender," "Everlong," "Monkey Wrench, and off their newest album, "Walk, and "Rope," the Foo Fighters are a very inspirational band for aspiring rockers and one of the most famous acts of the age. Blink-182 debuted in 1993 with their self-made EP. Their fame did not surge, however, until 1997, when they released "Dude Ranch." The album showcased their toilet humor, but also held a special place in the hearts of many pre-teens. The album played many angsty, non-cliched songs that propelled them into the world of adolescent rock. However, they were only teenagers themselves, so the angst was not as cheesy as it could've been. The single 'Dammit' fueld the album, and Blink took off. Two years later, the album "Enema of the State" was released, which was very similar in style to its predecessor. However, the anthem of the new millennia was created in the single 'All the Small Things.' That song would go on to become a staple in rock music, reaching number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 songs, and #1 on the alternative charts. Blink maintained their fame throughout the early 2000s. In 2003, Blink arguably changed their music style to a depressed, saddened style of alternative and released the sublime self-titled album. The CD displayed the dark thoughts of depression, suicide, hatred, heartbreak, and death. It was a major change for longtime-fans, but the album was still very well-recieved, reached very high on the charts, and earned good ratings from popular sources. About a year later, Blink surprisingly announced they were breaking up. This caused much distress among the music world, and many fans felt disowned. For the next seven years, the members of Blink helped in other musical adventures, such as Angels and Airwaves. Travis Barker, considered one of the best drummers of this era, even went on his own solo career. Finally, in 2011, Blink got back together and created "Neighborhoods," a great album that seemingly picked off right where they left off. Blink has gone on to be an icon for this generation of kids, and I believe they should get serious consideration in the RaRHoF. Those are my top three picks from this generation. Other notables which might be tossed around are: Avenged Sevenfold, Nickleback, Evanescence, Disturbed, System of a Down. I just hate it when people who arent rockers get in.

Not really on point, but I'm really not sure what the fuss is about with the Hall. A few years ago, I was in Cleveland and stopped by (because, well, what else is there to do in Cleveland?) There, I saw the set, costumes and instruments from Queen's "News of the World" tour. Pretty sweet. Across from that? The outfit Britney Spears wore in a music video...next to that, Destiny's Child. It's like the Hard Rock Café, only larger and without food.
Kudos to Rush, though. |

I will agree with The Foo Fighters. If they stay around they may well be up for that honor. Green Day depends on how you judge them, formed in the late 80s thier first album was in 94 or so, making them eligible for this list.
I notice that this thread, unlike most others, does not have scores of posts from many Café members. It is a tough question. Technically I would expect Sarah McLaughlin to be a shoe in... Premiered in 95 or so, had three strong albums, spear-headed two very strong Lilith Fair concert events, and then.... Nothing. Did she runout of musical steam? Retire... This is the problem with her and others of her genre.

BTW this year we have... Rush, Heart, Donna Summer, Public Enemy Randy Newman,Quincy Jones, Lou Adler (producer), and Albert King. Hmm, Public Enemy is a hip-hop band. Taking nothing away from them, do they belong in the "Rock and Roll" hall of fame?

When bands who have been snubbed every year that DO meet the Hall's criteria are inducted, I will take the Hall more seriously. The Rock Hall is a joke. And before anyone asks, my favorite band IS in the Hall of Fame. But there are MANY other bands and artists who meet the Hall's criteria and continue to be overlooked. Rush is FINALLY inducted! But so many more are not.

Actually it was 91, with "1039/Smoothed Out Happy Hours." I guess that could be considered an EP, but they also had "Kerplunk" in 1992. I made a mistake in my previous post....."Dookie" was released in 1994, a year earlier than what I thought. |

Technically early 90's but the Manic Street Preachers will surely never stop going.
