Van Halen

Van Halen is one of the most successful metal bands of all time. They were key in popularizing metal in the seventies and ushering in the glory years of metal from the seventies to nineties. They had two diamond albums with numerous additional certified albums. Members Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth went on to have successful solo careers. The group's immense success makes it shameful that they had to wait three years before they were inducted. They were inducted by alternative metal band Velvet Revolver. College rock band Weezer designed their logo after that of Van Halen. They collaborated with Michael Jackson. They were parodied by Weird Al Yankovic.
