An artist is eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 25 years after the release of their first recording, which means that any band who put out their debut album during or before 2000 is ready (we're all old, it's fine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So on the heels of today's disappointing announcement that Iron Maiden<\/strong> is the only heavier artist to have been nominated<\/a>, it's time get out your wallet chains and JNCO jeans! We're headed well into n\u00fc-metal territory with these eight bands that really ought to get the recognition they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why these 1- bands? Well, for two main reasons \u2013 first and foremost is that they've stood the test of time and become influential on a whole new generation of artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second is that they were successful in their heyday, and still are now (in varying capacities). They're artists that people who aren't into the genre know and whose names have become synonymous with a certain period of time. This isn't to say that they're the only eight bands of this generation that deserve it, but they're certainly some of the big ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's also worth noting that these bands are not n\u00fc-metal anymore (and probably even despise the tag), but had their initial burst of popularity during that time and with that material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linkin Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Few bands define the turn of the millennium like Linkin Park<\/strong>. 2000's Hybrid Theory<\/em> remains one of the best-selling debuts of all time, spawning era-defining singles like In the End and "One Step Closer" while selling over 100 million records worldwide. Blending rap, metal and electronic textures, they cracked open heavy music for mainstream radio. The legacy of Chester Bennington<\/strong> and the band's continued evolution only underscore their cultural weight. If the Rock Hall is about impact, influence and timeless songwriting, Linkin Park<\/strong> check every box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
