Agree to disagree

that's what will have to happen when the subject of the 2011 nominees for the Hall of Fame come up.

For once, I am excited about it because Bon Jovi have been nominated. AWESOME!

Does Bon Jovi DESERVE this nomination? Ask any Jovi fan and the answer is yes. Everyone else, well there is a different story. From what I have read online and in between the lines from friends, the answer is no. There are other bands that should be in the HoF first.

Some fans of the band Def Leppard, felt this was a race between the 2 bands. Yeah, it's what I *thought* too. There has never been a race except between the fans. There is a big difference between how the 2 bands think.

Bon Jovi constantly promote and pursue. Def Leppard expect things to happen. I'm getting off track and that whole DL vs Jovi thing gets out of control.

Back to the nomination. I think Jovi should be in the Hall of Fame now. I still find it hard to believe that the song Runaway is over 25 years old. I love that song! When I saw the video for that song, I always thought that JBJ would be a big star. He's way bigger than I ever dreamed he would be.

The guys from New Jersey have paid their dues and then some. Bon Jovi have survived and dominated the 80s...success in the 90s and in the stratosphere in 2000s.
The stats for Bon Jovi are incredible.

So, in December, the world will find out. Are Bon Jovi in or not? Does it matter? Not really. They will continue to dominate the concert world. IMO, Bon Jovi are a very tough act to follow.

Like I said, agree? Disagree? Either is fine, but nothing will change my mind.
The New Jersey guys deserve this honor.
