Bonjovi in the hall of fame?

Bonjovi in the hall of fame?

they didn't write their big hits

just goes to show how worthless awards are

 

[Dr Grump]

Um, yeah they did. Sambora and Bon Jovi had a hand in writing all of them.

However, using your criteria, no Motown performers - with the exception of Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson - should be in the Hall of Fame because none of them wrote their hits.

They didn't write it, but I like this song...a lot!

 

[MarathonMike]

They really need to change the name to Pop Music HOF or something else because it is clearly not a Rock N Roll HOF anymore.

 

[Marion Morrison]

eh, Zambora and Jon wrote their songs.

They were the thing at the time. Eh..It's not bad stuff!

I'd rather hear them fags than music nowadays, that's for sure.

I’ve seen a million faces
And I’ve rocked them all

Even their nostalgia concert tours in recent years have done f'in gangbusters, and Wanted Dead or Alive is straight up iconic. I'm not a fan of these guys, but I don't see any reason you wouldn't throw them into the HoF.

Neither did Elvis

thats why i dont consider him the king of R&R....I consider Chuck Berry the king,he was a creator in writing,guitar playing and performing...

They belong there. Bon Jovi has had a ton of hits over the years. I finally saw them in concert 7 or 8 yrs ago and they put on an awesome show.

If being a writer was a requirement, George Strait never would've been put in the country music hall of fame.

God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

P.S. George did eventually come around as a writer, but for the most part, the majority of his material was written by other people.

 

[Marion Morrison]

While I'm not Bon Jovi's biggest fan, they have generated enough to be there.

 

[rightwinger]

Bon Jovi ....long overdue

It's kind of a weak R&R Hall of Fame class this year.

I mean, I know the Moody Blues and the Cars are important, but I've never been a fan of either. I'm down with Dire Straits and Nina Simone, but still.
