Reply to comment by JokerWolf182 in If you were doing an all-time Battle of the Bands tournament, what post-2000 bands would make the cut? (Not that they’d necessarily win - just make it to the bracket) by AlarmingLecture0

>Think big bands that had huge sales, a big fan base, that kind of thing. Bands that are "IMPORTANT". Hall of Famers

This is more or less what I'm thinking. Not necessarily personal opinion (though that will obviously play a role), but not purely commercial success either.

I can imagine some bands being very successful but not all time hall of famers (New Kids on the Block), and I can imagine all time hall of famers that didn't have massive commercial success (though obviously they would probably have had a good deal of success, or nobody would have heard of them - Sex Pistols?).

In that case I'd throw My Chemical Romance in the ring. Not one of my personal favourites but they were a juggernaut in the mid to late 00s.
