The Coral helped bring back Brit-Pop to the forefront, but for a band commonly labeled with guitars and drums, they put out a catalogue of music that showed much more than that. The Coral were a well enough respected outfit, but they fell behind on the success ratio of many of their peers and to some extent, those they helped expired.

Named after the 1947 death of Elizabeth Smart (nicknamed the Black Dahlia), the Black Dahlia Murder describes their musical style as Melodic Death Metal. That sounds pretty accurate, and though this genre has proven to have a place in the musical landscape, it is not one that has shown it has a place in Cleveland.

Comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the Comedy/Metal duo of Tenacious D may have been considered a joke in some circles, but to others they were not just funny, but they were damned good. Unlike other comedian/musicians, Tenacious D had musical chops, and could their own in the musical spectrum with their operatic style approach to Metal.

Whether or not you think T.I. should be in the Rock and Roll of Fame, or any Hip Hop Hall of Fame for that matter should be noted as like it or not, this is a man who had a five year stretch on top of the charts. Now what that means to the generations coming up remains to be seen, but he should not be completely ignored.
