They're from my hometown, and I like their style, so I'd be very happy if they did. However, I feel like they were a one-hit wonder for a lot of people, and I really don't know how many kids and teens today really know who they are. I'm thinking that the music world isn't going to remember them by the time they can get in. Love them though, and hope for the best.

Saw these guys for 2nd time at Rock on the Range in Columbus, OH. Very wet weekend, so I was lucky to see them. They played before The Offspring & set a high bar to cross. I had seen them at Louder Than Life a couple of years ago & this set was waaaay better.

Mostly the hits, interspersed with 3 songs of new album. Jacoby looked as goos as I've ever seen him. Has lost weight, etc. During set he played a song & had a guy walking around in a giant rabbit costume (quite dirty, too). They guy had a nonplussed expression on face as he wandered around the stage & kept chewing on carrots, before throwing them to audience. Was funnier than Hell.

They finished up by having the drum/brass section of a local HS band join them on stage. Those kids looked pretty stoked as I think there were probably 35,000 in attendance.

I don't think they are Hall caliber yet, but boy was that a badass set.

I am at odds with this one.
I do believe that they experienced success for the majority of the 2000s (2 platinum selling records, 1 gold selling record; Grammy nomination for best new artist 2001 and best music video for broken home; VMA nomination for best new artist; over 20 million records sold worldwide; 6 singles in the billboard top 100), I understand that they may not have had an influence on younger up and coming bands as other bands of their contemporaries did like Linkin Park, Slipknot, and Disturbed. This is one is a toss up ultimately for me, but I’ll be fair and say they could make a ballot nomination maybe 10-15 years after their eligibility year.

I have been listening to P-Roach for 20+ years. Their music is authentic and appealing to all ages. Papa Roach has earned the right to be in the Hall of Fame.

Papa roach completely deserves it. I don't understand why people call them a one hit wonder. Every band has their one HUGE song, but when I look at other nu metal bands on Spotify with more monthly listeners RIGHT NOW in 2023 the number is unbelievably tini. Linkin Park? Ya they're bigger but they don't even make music anymore, who else is a bigger nu metal band that still make music today? Are there any?
