Only the fact of inspirating the "Heavy Metal" term would be a certain HoF
But more: they are a Great band.

I like Steppenwolf,they're good,but I can't go as far to say that they belong in the HoF.They had some pretty good stuff,but nothing that was really over the top.

Eric Demory · Jan 30, 2011

I thought Steppenwolf only made a few songs until one of the members died, that I thought was the lead singer. But, I guess I heard from somebody who was wrong and believed for years.

Since I know better, there has been a great amount of member sessions.

Funny thing is, I never really knew this band but I still remember the "Born To Be Wild" song from several movies I've watched. :lol:

A great band none the less, but I think its not quite up to HoF material. Who knows...

HoF.

Easy Rider anyone? Epic movie. If you didn't, go watch it.

Born To Be Wild
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder

..and a genre was born (or named at least).

Great material from the golden age of rock. Certainly they belong in the HOF.

EDIT: Why is the Troggs' Wild Thing in the first post? Not the same band at all.

They might not be a house name, but their music is known by everyone. I dare anyone to walk up to a group of people and sing one line from Wild Thing and not have atleast 5 people finish off the line...
