The induction was the Hall’s 40th. Also on had was James Taylor, who not only performed but inducted Crosby, Stills and Nash into the hall, which was founded in 1969.

Don’t hold me to this, but Bon Jovi could be the first hair band to make it in. And that seems fitting: They were the hair band with most “legs.”

Besides, you can’t help but sing along with the chorus from “Livin’ on a Prayer” when it comes on. That’s gotta be worth something.
