Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

Bob Seger is one of the leaders of "heartland rock" along with John Mellencamp and Kansas. There are others commonly labeled as such due to traits, but they are not from the American midwest and thus cannot be counted as heartland rock. Bob Seger began fifty years ago with The Bob Seger System, but it was not until Night Moves in 1976 that he broke through. He came to have numerous platinum albums, most of them with the Silver Bullet Band. His early album Beautiful Loser, done without the SBB, also went platinum. His greatest hits went diamond. He had numerous hit singles. They have a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When inducted into the Hall of Fame, only Seger was inducted, without his band. This is a shame, as most of his best work was done with his band. Only two of his certified albums were done without them. Despite his success he was not inducted his first seven years of eligibility, a real shame. They were inducted by rapper Kid Rock.
