NEW YORK (AP) – It could be a blaze of glory for Bon Jovi at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Jersey boys are up for possible induction in the hallowed hall, along with first-timers Donovan, Dr. John, Alice Cooper and Neil Diamond.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released its list of nominees Tuesday. There were some familiar names: Darlene Love, LL Cool J, Donna Summer and the Beastie Boys have been up for the prestigious honor before.

Other previous nominees include the J. Geils Band; Tom Waits; Chuck Willis; Chic and Joe Tex.

To be eligible for the hall, an act must have released its first batch of music at least 25 years ago.

Inductees will be revealed in December, and the ceremony will be in March in New York City.

    I find it too funny that Neil Diamond fans have grumbled on their assinine message boards for years now, on how the RRHOF is lame, isnt worth being a part of, and on and on…
    Now that ND is an inductee, they are all abuzz with ‘excitement’…those people are just as strange as a group can get….
    I hope that he doesnt make it so they can have something to buzz abuot next year…..
