    HomeEntertainment Music Bon Jovi up for hall of fame induction

    Associated Press NEW YORK, N.Y.—It could be a blaze of glory for Bon Jovi at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    The Jersey boys are up for possible induction in the hallowed hall, along with first-timers Donovan, Dr. John, Alice Cooper and Neil Diamond.

    The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released its list of nominees Tuesday. There were some familiar names: Darlene Love, LL Cool J, Donna Summer and the Beastie Boys have been up for the prestigious honour before.

    Other previous nominees include the J. Geils Band; Tom Waits; Chuck Willis; Chic and Joe Tex.

    To be eligible for the hall, an act must have released its first batch of music at least 25 years ago.

    Inductees will be revealed in December, and the ceremony will be in March in New York City.

      If Bon Jovi get in before Cheap Trick, it will be a prime example of just how fucking stupid and irrelevant the RNRHOF really is.....

        I agree. Not sure about Neil Diamond but I'm glad to see his name as well.

          Good point. J. Geils Band but in but no Cheap Trick. I never totally agree with these lists.

            Neil Diamond was a successful songwriter before he started making his own records. Of course the most famous band to record his songs was The Monkees, and I don't think they're in the RRHOF either. I'd say Neil gets in for anything he recorded up until about 1973 or so (all his stuff on UNI records was worthy)

              And yeah, Cheap Trick deserves the nomination far more than either J.Geils or Bon Jovi. I give Bon Jovi some credit for being able to survive where other hair band cheese balladeers didn't, and to keep making new music for their fans, but no way in fucking Hell should they get in on the first ballot. Let them wait a few years for it.

                Cheap Trick deserves it more than most the bands in there.

                              Hail, hail Alice Cooper. I have a bad feeling Bon Jovi is going to go in first try just because of record sales.
                              I'm kind of surprised Kiss wasn't renominated. What gives?
