Not the world's most deserving band. Not iconic like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones, but I grew up with Bon Jovi's albums Slippery When Wet and New Jersey as the soundtracks for a few of my formative years. Thirty-two years later and there are still days when I'm singing this song:




Bon Jovi, The Cars, Nina Simone, Dire Straits, The Moody Blues and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, make up the 2018 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class. They were inducted Saturday night in Cleveland.

Rock Hall of Fame 2018 Recap: Bon Jovi, The Cars, Moody Blues Inducted


This one was huge when I was a kid too, and I like it (same as Walk of Life, So Far Away, Industrial Disease and others) but I don't have the same attachment that I do to Bon Jovi tunes.

Tupac is in the rock and roll Hall of Fame.


Just fyi
I don't point a lot of stock in the RnR HoF. It's mostly just a talking point/tourist attraction. There's plenty of controversy surrounding all halls of fame, and the RnR HoF probably surpasses them all in terms of debates over who should and shouldn't be admitted.

Generally, for me, it prompts a trip down memory lane.

One of my fondest memories is hiking up Mam Tor in Derbyshire singing New Jersey in its entirety with my friend.
Good for them.

Why? Not that I really give two flyings when I pop my clogs but if I had a wish i’d Be scattered at Donington.
Because it's a horrible depressing dump of a county, and the people there fuck sheep, that's why

I'm shocked Dire Straits wasn't already in there.

I went to the RnR HOF last summer. It was pretty anti climactic unless you are into Elvis, guitars that may have been played once or twice, and shiny jackets.

Oh fuck, thinking about The Moody Blues. Nights in White Satin was my mum and dad's song.
There are rappers in the rock n roll hof. It has as much credibility as the Nobel peace prize being given to Yassir Arafat.

They all belong in there. They do need to rename the rock hall of fame to music hall of fame though.
