    AIC's Dirt is a masterpiece, but was it groundbreaking? I find Mad Season's Above to be so sonically superior. And Jerry's solo stuff is great, but it's basically AIC without Layne.

    AIC should be in of course.  I don't think Mad Season should ever be in.   I didn't even know that Cantrell had a solo career...

    his first solo record was Boggy Depot (he opened for Metallica on this tour). His second was a double album called Degredation Trip. He also has a couple songs on soundtracks/comp's which are good.

    I love Mad Season, but I'd have to go with AIC. 
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Mad Season and Jerry Cantrell solo won't go in.

    I didn't say if they would. I'm saying who should. The Hall often overlooks those that should. (I don't personally think JC solo should either though)

    It's a hall of fame though, not a hall of sonic superiority.
    I love Mad Season, but they don't have nearly the clout to make it in for another 10-15 years until every possible pre-90's band is in.

    Doobie Brothers need their spot!

    you don't have to have more than one record to get in. it just has to be an incredible one and leave a mark. I think it did.

    It could take you a couple weeks of walking around New York City to find someone who knows who Mad Season or Jerry Cantrell are.  No way they deserve to be in.

    Alice in Chains is borderline.  It depends on whether the Hall of Fame is for the elite (which it should be).  Obviously every band can't be the Beatles or Stones, but I just don't think Alice in Chains should make it.

    None of them, although I think that the first two records and the EP by AIC are brilliant.  Just not enough, IMO.
    Mad Season and Cantrell solo can be things you like but they will never in a million years get R&R HoF consideration, nor should they IMO.

    AIC - I certainly think they were groundbreaking, those harmonies man, listen to Down In A Hole and tell me that isn't one of those most beautifully put together songs, they had something very special.  As much as I love Dirt, I think Jar Of Flies and their Unplugged show them at their best.

    Also, I think they were the most influential Seattle band - all of the post grunge bands sounded most like them, compared to the other big four bands.

    Sadly, if Soundgarden isn't getting in, then neither is AIC.

    AIC is a lock for eventual induction. Short of the initial explosion of Teen Spirit, they’re far an away the most influential band of the early 90s. 

    Mad Season simply doesn’t have the resume to get in. One great album, but it’s barely a blip on the radar. They won’t get in and they shouldn’t get in.

    AIC most influential?  No way...

    You know this is a debate for another thread.

    Alice in Chains.  They pretty much one-handedly inspired heavy music for the next 20 years.  The entire 2000's metal sound (Disturbed, Godsmack, Staind, etc) was ripping off Alice in Chains, and those were huge bands.  As far as Alice in Chains themselves, tune in any rock station for an hour and  you are likely to hear them.


    Mad Season and Jerry solo - I absolutely love Mad Season, and Jerry's cool.  Not enough clout to induct those guys.   I think ACE FREHLEY gets inducted as a solo artist before Cantrell. 

    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?
