Depends. Is the criteria based on personal opinion or commercial success?

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.
