While I don’t foresee BB in the HOF once they become eligible in the future, but there are a few songs that should be added on the page’s essential list like “The Diary of Jane.”

Not only it’s one of their most successful singles, but also their most accessible, taking a more metallic direction unlike other songs from their albums with a memorable hook and catchy chorus.

Do plagiarists deserve a place in the Hall? I vote no.

Listen to “Red Cold River” , compare to Audioslave’s “Gasoline” - Breaking Benjamin stole this song. Despicable.

The Chart-Topping Rock Band You've Never Heard Of

"Breaking Benjamin has gained a huge following between the coasts but is largely invisible to everyone but its fans."

They may not be Hall material, but they'll get some more success soon deservingly so once classic rock stations starts playing their music in the next few years or so.

I'm a big fan of bb and honestly I can see them be inducted. They're unique they have their own style, especially when they hit bigtime fame back in the early 2000s. I remember every time you turned a modern day rock station on you'd always hear, so cold, diary of Jane, dear agnoy, breath, had enough, angels fall, i will not bow and way more other songs always playing. in my eyes they sculpted a pathway to modern day rock.

(They should be in the hof)Especially when almost every single/album went gold or platinum that should tell you something.

I would say yes but a lot of people dont know about this band. I have a lot of friends who have no idea who these guys are. Crazy because they have 5 million monthly listeners and have sold a lot.

Have seen these guys. Think it was Louder Than Life. Really enjoyed their set. They are pretty big in Metalworld, but average joe probably thinks they were a sitcom back in the 90s.

Probably need some seminal albums to 'break out' into the wider music audience to have any shot at The Hall.

Some of these older comments aged so poorly and I love it. Wish nothing but the best for this band...they deserve it.

Yes They Should be Inducted to the hall of Fame Because they helped me make a mental Breakthrough literally When I listned to Ember But Aside From that Tracks Such as polyamorous Blow Me Away And I will Not bow and Diary of Jane! Please Induct Breaking Benjamin! He also has two Multi Platnium Albums!
