Overall Rating: 3.01 based on 75 ratings
ItemImageIn 1983 Bon Jovi released their first single, Runaway, which hit the top 40 in the us charts. Few bands embodied the era of pop-metal like Bon Jovi. By merging Def Leppard's loud but tuneful metal with Bruce Springsteen's working-class sensibilities, the New Jersey-based quintet developed an ingratiatingly melodic and professional variation of hard rock — one that appealed as much to teenagers as to housewives. Bon Jovi skillfully employed professional songwriters to give their songs, especially their power ballads, an appropriately commercial sheen, inaugurating a trend that dominated mainstream hard rock and metal for the next decade. They also made simple performance videos that emphasized lead singer Jon Bon Jovi... Read More... at allmusic.com

This band doesn't deserve the Hall for all the reasons listed in the bio above. There is absolutely nothing original about their music, it was completely commercialized. Most of it is grating to the ears, and very little of it has stood the test of time, unlike many of the other worthy artists who have yet to be inducted. Having said that, I imagine they will roll out the red carpet for them as quickly as possible to get them in.
