have seen Death Cab several times & I always have a good time at their shows. Ben does a fine job fronting the band. At this point, I don't see them having a case.

If they can come out with 2 or 3 more killer albums, at least 1 of which goes to number 1, etc. then I think they would have a case of some sort. To me, a thinking person's band. Introspective.

If the Zombies wins the ballot for next year’s class, then one of members from Cutie should be their Inducter. I’ve been hearing they’re big fans of them.

When We Drive sounds like Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant inspired!

15th anniversary of Becky's shit take.

Longevity is the thing weakening this band's case for the Hall. Influential? Yes. Hit songs? Yes. But they feel very 'of the 2000's'. Diminishing returns for the last decade.

Death Cab is literally the sound track for a whole generation. Their songs led the shape of a new genre of music. They should definitely be recognized.

I'm a bit of a latecomer to Death Cab. Their catalogue includes a ton of great songs.

The band displays a distinct sound, showing skillful workmanship, often elaborate lyrics, and an overall somber tone. Despite the serious nature involved, the songs have an overall hip vibe. I love this band.E
