I'm a huge fan of The Strokes, love all of their albums. However, I think their chances are a bit slimmer after Comedown Machine, as it wasn't commercially successful and got decent reviews. They are going back into the studio soon, so another good album will definitely help their chances. I think they will get in eventually.

Honestly this band had amazing potential, too bad they couldn't continue making good albums.They can still make a comeback but man this band is one of the "wow what the fudge happened to them they had talent and could have been a top 10 influential of my generation band".

Years later I now think they'll never make it. Needed to stay together & show some longevity.

Have seen Casablancas in his Voidz band & they are pretty lame, when compared to The Strokes.

The Strokes singlehandedly dragged alternative rock back from the dead in the early 2000s, people were looking for a new sound and the strokes provided it, songs like Reptilia, Is this it?, Last Nite, Someday & Hard To Explain will be remembered for ages as some of the 2000s greatest musical compositions in the rock genre. Julian Casablancas has an unbeatable voice, and his stage presence and laidback personality check every box on the rockstar checklist. I personally think the strokes should without a doubt be inducted into the R&R hall of fame, if not just for their incredible talent, for the impact they had on music as a whole and how they influenced so many musicians growing up in the 2000s.

Spotify: Most Streamed Albums of 2001

3. THE STROKES – IS THIS IT

As we climb in this Top 10, here up to the Top 3, we find more titles that were successful back in the day but not quite as much as the real huge ones during that year.

They still gained strong reputation over the years, in this case boosted by the Strokes’ subsequent albums and tours. Nothing new: many catalogue albums from the sixties and seventies weren't particularly dominant at the time but they are among the most revered now.

The peak positions for Is This It were mixed at best, with Top 5 entries in the UK, part of Scandinavia and Australia but its results elsewhere were far more modest, even though it is up to gold and platinum levels in many of them, proving its enduring appeal.

From that point of view, its Spotify stats are a further testimony of this long lasting effect with 521 million streams.

Last Nite, its signature tune, is responsible for almost 210 million of them. Someday is a huge runner up at 133 million.

One of the most critically acclaimed albums of the last 20 years, it continues to be enjoyed in full as all tracks are above 10 million.

Ok look most of these comments are when the strokes were having rock bottom careers, however I think that their debut albums of "FIOE", and their second album "room on fire" were such good albums unfortunately they didn't get as much recognition as their first album but currently in July 2021 the strokes released a new album called "the new abnormal" I'm currently listening to it, it's a mix between alternative and indie it's different from what they have made in the past it's really good. I SUGGEST you check it out they won best rock album of 2021 in the Grammys I'm surprised unfortunately their songs are used in tiktok slander

Unlike the white stripes, the strokes may have to wait for more years to be nominated as the hall may want to a ton of alternative artists first like Sonic Youth, Pixies, Jane's addiction, just to name a few. I think they will be in before 2040.

I think they have a real shot someday. I've seen them (back in 2011) and there was a huge crowd for them at Roo. Julian Casablancas is a well known in industry lead singer with a distinctive voice. They need another great album and to tour on it. They do have a case.
