As one of the first Hardcore Punk bands of note, Suicidal Tendencies was an early favorite of the Skate Punk scene. Not one to rest on their laurels, the band always evolved incorporating elements of Thrash, Funk Metal and Progressive Metal in future efforts. Still a favorite among Hardcore Punk and Metal fans, they have no realistic shot at induction for the Hall, but ask their fans if that even matters.

During the early 60s many music fans were divided musically into either the Beatles camp or the Rolling Stones camp and they despised the other fans. Nowadays, that seems a little silly, but it wasn’t that long ago that a couple of us at NIHOF remembered that the Metal community had fans divided into the Metallica and Megadeth camps as well.
