Toby Keith ACMAWill country superstar Toby Keith make the Hall of Fame?

Toby Keith

Not much has to be said of this country legend to prove why he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Keith has sold over 30 million records in the U.S. throughout his career, and that makes him the fifth best selling country artist of all-time. Nine number one country albums, twenty two number one U.S. singles - it's borderline ridiculous. Keith's got a new album coming up soon, and it only makes sense that his number ones will only grow larger with its release.

Tom Petty

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers basically took over most of the 70's and 80's. With songs like the classic 'Free Fallin,' it's completely obvious why. Petty himself has gone on to earn incredible accolades: over six Platinum albums between his solo career and his work with The Heartbreakers, and a greatest hits compilation of his in 1993 even reached Diamond certification. At the age of 64, Petty earned his first ever number one record this past July with The Heartbreakers' album, Hypnotic Eye. Clearly, he's still got it.

Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello has got to be one of the most prolific men in music. Ever since the 70's, Costello's been making an impact in both the U.K. and the U.S., and at one point, he managed to secure a top ten debut in the U.K. for ten albums in a row. One of his biggest hits, 'Veronica,' was a collaboration with Beatles legend Paul McCartney, and he also recently released a collaborative effort with hip-hop group The Roots, asserting himself as a definitive songwriter of our time.
