Steppenwolf

Steppenwolf was a hard rock band primarily popular in the sixties. While most people only remember them for the songs Born to be Wild and Magic Carpet Ride, they actually had several bestselling albums. One of their concert albums went gold. Two of their compilations went gold and another platinum. They had five additional hits besides the two everyone remembers, the biggest being Rock Me at number ten. Born to be Wild is noted for being the first rock song to feature the words "heavy metal", although it is referring to a motorcycle rather than music. The actual Hall of Fame did consider them, but did not induct them.
