Some of you people suprise me. I'm not saying this just because im a fan, but because it's just true. Of course they sound a little poppy. Nothing in the next ten years will get remotely big without it sounding that way. Not saying they should sound poppy just for that reason. But rock isn't just about heavy guitars and bangin drums.And they are VERY true to music. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERTSAND THE SONG!!!! Doesn't mean it has no meaning. Every onsg they've EVER made has a meaning. And it all stands for something different. They're all talented wether you like it or not. Most artists these days don't even right their own music. Every song they have has been made from scratch. And to me....sounds good. When you break it down every remotely popular band has some pop in its design

When you add up the numbers they're about 60% R and Roll 30% punk rock and 10 % pop. Just because they have a more melodic sound doesnt make them pop....it makes them inovative. And they really should get put into the rock hall of fame. Like i said rock aint about heavy guitar, its about the attitude and sounding great live , and being true to music. Look at led zeppelin,Tiwsted sister, ac/dc. Some people called this the devil music. And now it's the most pure sound to any rockers ears. Who knows what that people will think in 10 years, they've infleunced so many bands. And because they dont sound like every other band. They sound like fallout boy.

And finally i know it doesnt count for much. THEY AREN'T ABUNCH OF DRUGGED UP POSERS WHO PARTY ALL NIGHT. They're grown men who are nice people, who weren't very cool when they were in high school. So they started a band and made it big. And they didn't do it cause they loved money or sex or drugs. They loved the music!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------
I edited you post slightly.

I know you are a fan, & being the case, I will not rip into these gentlemen using snotty words & crap. However:

"Of course they sound a little poppy. Nothing in the next ten years will get remotely big without it sounding that way. Not saying they should sound poppy just for that reason."

I hope not. I really hope this Isn't the case for the future...

"But rock isn't just about heavy guitars and bangin drums."

No... but it helps.

"When you break it down every remotely popular band has some pop in its design"

Which would be fine, if the definition of pop didn't change as well over the yrs. There are bands that aren't pop, that are successful. The majority of them today Are rock bands.

"When you add up the numbers they're about 60% R and Roll 30% punk rock and 10 % pop."

You have the #'s backwards.

"Just because they have a more melodic sound doesnt make them pop....it makes them inovative."

Technically, you're right about how bands can have a more melodic sound & still rock. The Smithereens did a demolition job on their pop, & made it rock in the 80's. The Gin Blossoms did the same thing in the 90's, though that has more to do w/the first album. The ability to connect w/the rock parts of the first album sometimes evaded them as the yrs. went on. In the case of FOB, the riffs were stock, & the rhythms were loose in a bad way.

"Like i said rock aint about heavy guitar, its about the attitude and sounding great live , and being true to music."

Here we disagree. Pop is about doing whatever you can to sell to as wide a range of audience you can. Rock is about the music, & being taken away by the jam, regardless of where the music goes, or what it sounds like. Attitude's got nothing to do w/it, though if it shows up, more's the better.
--------------------

Despite everything I've said, even I have a feeling they will end up in the Hall one day. The Hall has shown it's willing to cater to pop, & rock-styled pop forms. For what it's worth, even I have to admit that not only does FOB fit in here (rock-styled pop form), they'd be a solid choice for their time, providing the voting board continues the same outlook over the next 10-15 yrs.

HAVE YOU HEARD FOB'S NEW ALBUM?!? HOW COULD YOU THINK THAT THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME?!?

Posted by Mikaela on Saturday, 09/14/2013 @ 19:14pm


To all those teenage girls who think that Fall Out Boy is the greatest band ever, hear this: get a musical life. Stop being just another mindless sheep who just listens to the same crappy music over and over again.

Branch out and listen to different kinds of music like blues, rockabilly, folk and old school rap.

Also, stop thinking that just becuase someone else dosen't like Fall Out Boy you should go on the warpath just because someone says something that you don't agree with.

Lastly, if you really want to listen to some real punk, then I would recommend MC5 or The Stooges rather then this overplayed pop-punk crap.

Posted by Andrew on Sunday, 11/24/2013 @ 22:41pm


Fall Out Boy is a damn fine band. 8 or 9 excellent, catchy songs. Patrick Stump is a great lead singer.

I can't see them in the Hall, but they sure can throw out the groove. Have seen them twice. Great sets both times.

Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 11/25/2013 @ 08:01am


Fall Out Boy have had a great influence during the new millenium.
Their music has influenced a great amount of bands. They've practically defined 00's rock music along with other influential bands.

Posted by GFQ on Sunday, 12/29/2013 @ 17:24pm


My question to you, GFQ, are what bands have been influenced by Fall Out Boy within the last few years?

If you see them as a great influence, then by all means, keep on thinking that.

In my opinion, Fall Out Boy are a worthless piece of crap as are 30 Seconds to Mars and all those other pop emo bands. These groups have done nothing significant for rock n' roll in the last few years.

Plus, artists like The White Stripes, John Mayer, Kron, Franz Ferdinand, Mumford & Sons, The Strokes, Dream Theater, TV on the Radio, Belle & Sebastian, The Arctic Monkeys, Yellowcard, and Angels & Airwaves have created much more innovative and influenal music then Fall Out Boy ever will.

Fall Out Boy will be inducted in 2030. Patrick is the best singer I've heard & the songs are catchy & interesting.The Led Zeppelin of this generation. KING

Posted by KING on Friday, 02/14/2014 @ 00:29am


King, is your heard on right? Fall Out Boy are nothing like Led Zeppelin. Zeppelin influenced countless bands from Aerosmith to Metallica.

What bands has Fall Out Boy influenced? None that I know of. Their songs are just typical pop emo crap.

There are only a few rock groups from the 2000s that I can see being inducted into the Hall, and emo punk bands like Fall Out Boy and Panic At the Disco aren't one of them.

Bands like The White Stripes and TV on The Radio belong in The Rock Hall alot more then Fall Out Boy does, so get used to it!

Posted by Andrew on Friday, 02/14/2014 @ 19:08pm


Hey, Andrew. What I still want to know your opinion on Stevie Ray Vaughan. Should he be inducted?

Posted by Karl Singleton on Monday, 10/6/2014 @ 22:16pm


Karl, answering your question, I can honestly say yes that Stevie Ray Vaughan should be inducted. John Mayer owns a sizable debt to Vaughan as a guitarist and Stevie is one of the few guitarists who showed the sound and style of the blues at a time when most guitarists weren't doing what Vaughan was doing.

The Hall needs Stevie Ray Vaughan!

As much as I really, really hate to admit it, but these pop-punkers may get in on their first year. Rolling Stone loves them to death and the people ten years younger than me think they are true rock stars. FOB has talent, but that doesn't mean that I like them or their music.

I'd say let's wait and see what the Hall does with Blink-182 first.

Posted by Steve Z on Thursday, 01/7/2016 @ 21:40pm


the year is 2018. fall out boy is still pretty big and released their 7th studio album at the beginning of this year. i think overall they have a fair chance of being inducted.

Posted by eve on Wednesday, 07/11/2018 @ 13:09pm


To me, eve, there's another level they have to reach to be considered a serious contender.

I think they're a great band & Patrick Stump is one hell of an entertainer, but they need to have more 'serious' recognition (IMO) to make that leap.

Release their version of the White Album or something like that.

Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 07/11/2018 @ 13:57pm



INDUCT FOB!!! They made an album called Save Rock and Roll, so they are definitely contributors to Rock culture. A lot of the comments on this page said that they are a crappy pop-punk band, and you are allowed to have your opinion, but A. Those comments were posted before the album Save Rock and Roll and B. Music has changed a lot since the Golden Age of Rock and Roll, so things will really never get more "rock" than bands like Fall Out Boy at this point, and C. Their genre is pretty nebulous but a lot of their music I think is alternative rock or punk rock.

It's a longshot, but they did induct Green Day into the Rock Hall. That means that the rock hall at least knows they exist.

I don't know though. We'll just have to wait and see.

Posted by Hobby on Monday, 12/24/2018 @ 13:30pm


These dudes have a legitimate chance and I'm actually kinda glad. One of the few of my emo phase bands that stuck with me.

Posted by Jason Dagotto on Monday, 01/7/2019 @ 19:57pm



Damn, I love Fall Out Boy and would be happy if they ever get inducted to the HOF however, they haven't made an album that really shines ALL four of them. Vocals and instruments. In terms of studio albums, the instruments are too layered and the vocals does not do justice to Patrick Stump when live. Production are way too off especially the last record Mania. They need to mix their best sounds and I think that's in their IOH, Folie and SRAR albums. Or maybe they could do another left turn. They've done everything by now except playing by their own real strengths in singing and playing. They could produce their own albums at this point, why not make something that could finally seal the deal to their own sound?

Posted by sushi on Tuesday, 06/1/2021 @ 17:09pm


I like Fall Out Boy and I can see them get inducted because of their longevity and influence. It says a lot about them when you consider that they and Paramore are the emo bands that "survived". I mean, look at the other "emo punk" bands: Panic At The Disco is down to one member, My Chemical Romance is doing nostalgia tours, and Good Charlotte is still releasing music, but no one really cares. Whatever happened to the All American Rejects or Sum 41 or Simple Plan? FOB outlasted them all. I don't think they're a super likely candidate but they might have their moment in the future.

Posted by Kyle on Tuesday, 07/6/2021 @ 00:26am


I voted YES!
They deserve to be inducted into the Rock&Roll HoF!

Posted by Luna on Tuesday, 08/3/2021 @ 18:13pm


They are the most successful pop punk emo band! They deserve to be inducted! GO FOB!

Posted by Kira on Tuesday, 08/3/2021 @ 18:15pm


yes!!!
i am only 13 and I love them!
they influenced so many bands, without them i wouldn't like the music I like now. everyone loves them!
go FALL OUT BOY

Posted by Vanessa on Tuesday, 08/3/2021 @ 18:21pm


yes!
i love fallout boy so much!!
i think their songs are the best in the world..~~!
go fob!
i like pete wentz!!
hope i can see them one day on the hella mega tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by ashley on Tuesday, 08/3/2021 @ 18:23pm


without fallout boy we wouldn't have panic at the disco or paramore or twenty one pilots. they have made so much impact on the music industry and have had so much success! YAY FALL OUT BOY!

Posted by christina on Tuesday, 08/3/2021 @ 18:26pm


i think we should have a petition to get these guys in the hall! they should be in no doubt

Posted by abby on Tuesday, 08/3/2021 @ 18:30pm


Fall Out Boy had so much impact on music. After they broke bands like Paramore and Panic At The Disco had their breakthroughs. They survived when other bands couldn't. So haters don't hate because Good Charlotte and Sum 41 aren't as successful as FOB. FOB deserve the Hall!

Posted by Sarah on Tuesday, 08/3/2021 @ 18:45pm


yesssss! they should totally be in

Posted by Monica on Tuesday, 08/3/2021 @ 22:11pm


YES! they deserve it

Posted by Mikayla on Friday, 08/6/2021 @ 15:19pm


Rock and roll hall of fame... Fallout Boy is limp pop. Back Street Boys with guitars and drums

Posted by James on Wednesday, 08/11/2021 @ 22:59pm


ABSOLUTELY! THEYRE ONE OF THE BEST, MOST INFLUENTIAL ROCK BANDS OF THE 21ST CENTURY, SO THEY DESERVE TO GO IN.

Posted by melissa on Saturday, 08/28/2021 @ 05:14am


they deserve to be in. they are still rocking after 19 years. they are still filling stadiums and getting hits. FALL OUT BOY FOR THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

Posted by Barbara on Monday, 08/30/2021 @ 23:03pm


Fall Out Boy will definitely get in, love them or hate them.
They still have all their original members, decades and decades of hits, and they play to sold out arenas across the globe to generations of fans.

They have influenced many bands and still manage to compete with artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Drake. Their sound has adapted well to modern trends without going full Maroon 5.

They deserve to be put right up there with the best of them.

Posted by Chase on Monday, 08/30/2021 @ 23:32pm


they are legends! YES fall out boy deserves to be in the rock and roll hall of fame! They opened the door for a lot of other artists and they can be compared to the Beatles of the 2000s!
I vote YES!!!! I LOVE FALL OUT BOY!

Posted by Madison on Tuesday, 09/21/2021 @ 15:30pm


I wouldn't call Fall Out Boy an all-time great band, but they've been around too long, influenced many bands, and had too many hits to be ignored. They'll be in, though not on their first year of eligibility.

Posted by Lucas on Friday, 10/15/2021 @ 22:43pm


Fall Out Boy is a powerful band. Their non-emo, yet crazy, single Centuries is literally an extraordinaire alongside Sugar We're Goin' Down. The dudes who hate them forgot that The Police, a post-punk band in the 70s and 80s, were inducted into Hall of Fame. So plz put Fall Out Boy in the future.

Posted by Aabhash on Thursday, 08/4/2022 @ 07:11am


Fall Out Boy definitely deserves it. not only the trajectory but also the magnificent discography that they have, the versatility. This band deserves all the best. They have grown a lot and the evolution is incredible, this band really leaves me speechless. There are no words to express the presence of this band in the music industry.

Andrew (2014)
You seem to like being ignorant and stupid. Close-minded people like you disgust me so much.
Fall Out Boy and led z. are totally different And honestly, I like all rock in general, but Led's... It's NOTHING a big deal. But I'm not going to trash him like you do either. It seems that you live glued to its time and you don't open your mind to a different genre of rock, better and good band like Fall Out Boy. If your Led deserves to enter or enter the hall of fame... Fall Out Boy deserves it much much more, I don't know what the hell you said about the lyrics of FOB and with that I can tell that you didn't read ¡anything! . Your hate on FOB is so IRRELEVANT, IT MAKES ME LAUGH. IT WON'T HURT YOU TO BE POLITE, KIND AND OPEN YOUR MIND. (I don't know if your brain will be able to reason) just because you don't like Fall Out Boy doesn't mean it's a bad band. It's totally the opposite and they were and continue to be successes and to make it hurt... THEY KEEP GIVING AWARDS TO FOB AND WITHOUT EVEN WANTING TO HAVE A NEW ALBUM, THEY ARE AT FESTIVALS. it really is hard to be tolerant as people like you, you act ridiculous,As if FOB were copying from Led. Haha
The two sound very different. And personally I love the GREAT AND VERSATILE SOUND of FALL OUT BOY And if you don't want to see it like that. That ignorant is just you. Goodbye and I am not interested in your answer that your argument is only (influences, influences) hahahahah
Ps= I haven't perfected my English yet, that's my hobby, you should improve as a person (poor guy)

Posted by Jesen on Saturday, 08/13/2022 @ 15:11pm


The only worthless piece of crap and Pathetic are the haters. I don't understand why such IRRATIONAL hatred towards FOB.

Fall Out Boy their music is amazing and They are the best band of all time. Since the heyday of 2000 they are one of the few bands that have had and are successful. And if you don't like FOB...

I don't understand what are you doing here? Haha You guys should be busy with your miserable lives and your own "music". Why are u obsessed? Haha or what? You haters... Your parents don't love you? do they hit them? Do you have financial problems? Trouble relating? Has anyone been raped? Is it a psychological problem OR were you born IDIOTS? THESE HATERS HAVE THEIR LIVES SO DISGUSTING AND THESE IDIOTS COME TO ATTACK .
The most ridiculous Arguments to attack. Well, haters are ridiculous, so ridiculous that it seems unbelievable that such despicable people exist.

WHO COULD FEEL BAD WITH THE MOST IRRATIONAL AND MEDIOCRE COMMENTS OF THESE CLOWN HATERS?? LOl

Posted by Juliette on Saturday, 08/13/2022 @ 16:43pm


I love FOB, as documented above. The last 2 posts are a bit over the top, though. Pretty sure the guys do not think they are 'the best band of all time'.

They have a good case to make the Hall one day. However, will probably be when they are all quite old (or dead).

Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 08/15/2022 @ 07:11am


Nadie más que ellos merecen este premio. Absolutamente merecen por merito propio.

Posted by Irene on Wednesday, 10/12/2022 @ 07:55am


Los riesgos ,los experimentos ,la versatilidad, la voz de patrick,la letra etc es un gran trabajo que hace Fall Out Boy. Cometerían un gran error si no los incluyen, y lo digo sobre todo por que hay gente tan cerrada que sale a repartir odio ,carente de sentido a una banda que ha sido de las pocas buenas bandas que sean establecido y logrado grandes trabajos en la industria del rock .

Posted by Beliver Never Die on Friday, 12/16/2022 @ 12:27pm


Ellos merecen estar en el salon de la fama con todo derecho.
La evolución de esta banda ha sido fantastica! Ni que decir de su letra magnifica y sonidos imnovadores .

Posted by Rose on Sunday, 12/25/2022 @ 00:03am


Nadie Más que Fall Out Boy lo merece! Su excelente evolución es muy notable. De hecho desde su inicio fue magnifico.
No hay palabras para describir lo que está banda excelente hace para la historia de música.

PD: a los haters su ignorancia hace que estén tan ciegos y digan tantas incoherencias. eso me hace sentir pena y me rio.
Digo.. vamos! No debes de ser un rock pesado para sonar bien.
No sean mentes cerradas.

Posted by Luz on Sunday, 01/22/2023 @ 11:50am


They will be admitted. I can't wait to see their future as a band.

Posted by Stardust on Monday, 01/23/2023 @ 18:15pm


Realmente me quedo sin palabras cuando se trata de FOB, por que es difícil describir lo Maravillosos que son y los cambios espléndidos que pocos entienden y manejan a la perfección. Ellos son dignos de estar en el rock and roll hall of fame.

Posted by Lia on Sunday, 03/19/2023 @ 14:42pm


Auténtica , Pura , versátil e Increíble!
Eso es Fall Out Boy .
Orgullosa de seguir a esta magnífica Banda.

Posted by Lia on Monday, 04/10/2023 @ 07:54am


All y'all from 10 years ago are such haters.

"Branch out and listen to different kinds of music like blues, rockabilly, folk and old school rap.

Posted by Carlos on Sunday, 05/7/2023 @ 11:21am


they have already demonstrated the splendidness of their evolution, they are important for music, even in any genre they choose. super honored of the band that they are and a totally inspiring band also for other bands, artists and people like their fans.
ALL THEIR ALBUMS ARE A MASTERPIECE.
thanks!

Posted by Marina on Sunday, 05/28/2023 @ 11:50am


Absolutamente merecen estar,son una GRAN banda!!
Independientemente de los absurdos comentarios de los ridículamente odian a FOB ,claramente no saben nada del magistral trabajo y carrera de estos grandes músicos, ya que Fall Out Boy no solo se limitan o se estancan en un solo género, son capaces de adaptarse y aún así mantener su esencia,y para todos esos patéticos ignorantes que los critican sin argumentos sólidos,Deberían comprarse el buen gusto , es incoherente la comparación entre bandas viejas por que claramente idolatrar estúpidamente solo es por el gusto particular de algunos,eso no los hace mejor que Fall out Boy.
El día que dejen de tener una mente tan limitada, se darán cuenta de la INCREÍBLE BANDA QUE ES FALL OUT BOY!

Posted by Samantha on Sunday, 06/11/2023 @ 20:03pm


FOB is one of the most influential bands of the 2000s. If it wasn't for them we would not have bands like Panic At The Disco and Paramore. They and My Chemical Romance made emo music popular on the charts. Fall Out Boy is also still here, making music and releasing albums. They still sell out stadiums in 2023, and have a huge global fanbase. They deserve to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Posted by Kayla on Sunday, 08/20/2023 @ 02:38am


They are a rock band that writes great pop songs. Patrick Stump is such an amazing singer, as good as Steve Perry in my opinion. Pete Wentz is a unique songwriter, and Andy and Joe complete the band. Every member is so talented, and they are one of the most successful rock bands this century. FOB should be in the hall of fame

Posted by Sara on Sunday, 08/20/2023 @ 03:12am


They are one of the best and most successful rock bands of the 21st century. They write amazing lyrics, they are still together performing for their fans, and they have so much variety. Haters can back off. Plus, they have PETE WENTZ. (drools)
