Artists are eligible for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 25 years after the release of their first album or single. Criteria for inclusion includes “the influence and significance of the artist’s contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.”
Eligible since 2002, FOREIGNER has had a huge number of rock hits, including “Cold As Ice”, “Double Vision”, “Hot Blooded”, “I Want To Know What Love Is”, “Juke Box Hero” and “Urgent”, and has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, with no wins.

Asked by Tigman of the Q103 radio station in Albany if it means anything to him to get inducted into the Rock Hall, Jones responded (hear audio below): “Well, let’s say it’s not something I wrestle with or something that affects my life. Of course, it would be nice, but sometimes you wonder if it’s a political thing more than a musical [thing] or [anything to do with] achievement. Because as far as achievements, we’ve certainly achieved a tremendous amount with the band. And we’ll see. I guess someday. Who knows?”
