Can I embed my plaque on my Facebook page?

I'm not 100 percent on this, but I'm pretty sure that if you ask most garage bands when they're just starting out what achievements they'd like to accomplish, you're probably less likely to hear, "Get inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame" than you are to hear, "Date someone on Gossip Girl."

Still, for an insanely small number of those garage bands, they're gonna end up with the plaque at the Rock Hall.

This weekend, AP's neighbors at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame welcomed in a fresh new batch of inductees. English guitarist Jeff Beck really kinda fits the mold considering it's kind of difficult to delineate his career from that of Eric Clapton, and even Run-D.M.C. are pretty universally revered as pioneers of both the worlds of hip-hop and bling.

But the dark horses of this year's class are the metal and merchandising machine of Metallica.

While it really kinda makes sense for Lars And The Gang to be enshrined, it's sort of an eye-opener that some of the bands of our generation are eventually gonna be honored alongside Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.

So who are some of our most likely candidates? And what are their odds of making it in?

GREEN DAY

ELIGIBLE: 2015

THEIR CHANCES: Pretty frickin good.

Unless you've only been listening to EMF and Saigon Kick since 1990, you know that Green Day have been one of the biggest bands in the pop-punk and alternative music scenes since grunge was buried in its Doc Martens. But aside from huge radio hits and a few graduation party anthems like "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)," it wasn't until 2004's American Idiot that Green Day solidified their place in the upper echelon of "important" rock acts that even your Aunt Berniece knows about. And when it comes to getting into something like the Rock Hall, you really need to count on the Aunt Berniece vote.

BLINK-182

ELIGIBLE: 2019

THEIR CHANCES: Not completely out of the question.

Before they announced their reunion, Blink-182 probably had about as much chance of getting into the Hall Of Fame as You Don't Mess With The Zohan had of winning Best Picture. Sure, they influenced about 93 percent of the bands in AP, but did you notice the kind of underwhelming response they got when they announced the reunion at the Grammys? Kids at home were flipping shit, but Mr. and Mrs. Sting had no idea who Blink were. Now that Blink 2.0 are around, they're instantly kind of catapulted into a level of importance that their own American Idiot could bump them up into the Green Day stratosphere. The fact that Travis survived an effing plane crash has to work in their favor, too. Key factor: They need to focus on keeping their pants on. Bob Seger doesn't put up with that kind of shit.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

ELIGIBLE: 2027

THEIR CHANCES: Gettin' better.

Here's the thing: In 2027, who's gonna be on the board of voters for the Rock Hall? Probably the 25 year-olds of today. And who is gonna seem like a "classic" rock band to them? My guess is it'll be the band who blended everything from Queen to Sgt. Pepper, uniforms and all. Even without all the pomp of The Black Parade, My Chem have been iconic enough to a generation that they could saunter their way into the Rock Hall. And wouldn't it be sweet to see Bert McCracken call them onstage?

TAKING BACK SUNDAY

ELIGIBLE: 2027

THEIR CHANCES: TBD

Taking Back Sunday are the emo-quivalent of the movie Bottle Rocket--great on its own, but it seems like everyone who's been involved goes onto pretty big things. First, there's the whole Long Island-scene thing. It was sort of the modern-day Haight-Ashbury. Then there's the fact that TBS spawned offshoots like Brand New, Straylight Run and, well, the Color Fred. Everybody's all abuzz over the new Taking Back Sunday album, and maybe that'll put them on the Rock Hall-approved career course. And yes, I'm incredibly proud of the word "emo-quivalent."

FALL OUT BOY

ELIGIBLE: 2028

THEIR CHANCES: Seems unlikely.
Maybe I just have a difficult time believing that a band named after a Simpsons character can ever be seriously considered for the Rock Hall. Then again, the Lovin' Spoonful are in there. Fall Out Boy seem to be the next logical band in the Green Day/Blink-182 line, and for better or worse, Pete Wentz is practically synonymous with everything about today's mass-marketed musical climate. Sure, FOB have created some pretty timeless tunes, but you kinda get the feeling that this band's future reputation is gonna ride pretty heavily on how the next couple of decades go for Pete and the Mrs. and how legitimate future generations consider TMZ.
