No essential songs...their album isn't essential...not even a comment!? Not rock hall material per se, but a phenomenal band nonetheless. If any 90s ska band gets in though, it'll be Sublime or maybe Reel Big Fish.

10 BANDS NO ONE EXPECTED TO BE SO INFLUENTIAL TODAY

"Pop-punk will forever be associated with the mid- to late-’90s. But so much of one of rock’s most exciting innovations is owed to the albums of Berkley, California’s Operation Ivy, who mixed the bounce of ska and dub with the grate of Cali punk to create energized, uplifting music so unexpected that the world needed a couple of years to catch up with it. Definitely a band that thrashers and new wavers ignored in the late ‘80s, until it was too late and their influence was felt everywhere."

As an influence they belong in the rock and roll hall of fame.

I feel like a big part of getting into the hall, is influence and their influence in undeniable. They were he pioneers of the revival.
