Bon Jovi has been nominated again for the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Do you feel the band deserves to finally be inducted into the hall? Why or Why not? Photo- U Tube/google images

If a major criteria is popularity, longevity and commercial success, then Bon Jovi is in. But they are not groundbreaking or innovative or unique.

No they are not. My thought is who did they influence?

I’m not a Bon Jovi fan, but they have the credentials — fame. But the #1 induction on this year’s list should be the Moody Blues.

I do not know if they deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, I have never been a big fan of Bon Jovi.

Yes I do. I saw the list of nominees and the repeat nominees. Hopefully, 2018 would be their year among others.

They have been a very popular 80's band and they are still out there touring! Maybe this is the year they are recognized for it.

@dgobucks226 I hope so. My cousin recently saw them in concert this late summer.

Well, it would be a surprising if they didn't. It depends on what criteria is weighted the most.

@teamfreak16 I think influence is more important. Record sales are so inflated today. Some of these nominated artists each year are not really that famous in my view.

Honestly, I think Nina Simone deserves more than Bon Jovi.

Personally when I look at things overall, I can't see why not. They have just as good of a chance than anyone else there,.

That's true. They did achieve a lot of commercial success and became a very popular group.

They definitely are very popular among 80's bands.

Absolutely they should be inducted! I love their music! They have been steadily awesome over the years, when many others faded. They have so many great songs to sing along to, David.
