Well, either way... I'm not aware that Jon has been recognized extensively for his solo work--at least in the US. Outside of the Oscar nod for Blaze of Glory, has he been nominated or won for solo work? Probably not worthy of a lengthy discussion, just an observation...

Yes, he has. He won the Golden Globe and an American Music Award for Blaze. He was nominated for Best Rock Vocal (Male), and Best Song from Movie at the Grammys. It seems like there was another category he was nominated for that year, but I can't remember what it was. He was also nominated for Blaze at the MTV Music Awards. For Destination Anywhere he won a Brit, an Echo (German), an MTV Europe Award, and 3 honors at an Australian award show. Now you're aware.

As I stated, I was thinking
American awards/recognition; I certainly knew about the AMA's, the Oscar, etc. That's totally cool about the other awards, too... but I think DA wasn't recognized much at all in America (in particular, the Grammy's.) I guess I think "Blaze" is nice but not exactly stellar... I guess my idea of "extensive" is different. Not to take away from the accomplishments, but I think few people (relatively speaking) are even aware of DA--no matter how much we might like it...
As far as the Oscar nod goes... as proud as I was, let's face it... some really sad, sorry songs have fallen into that category. I think maybe that's why Jon hasn't received the respect he should have perhaps received because of it. And the AMA's, well...anyone remember Milli Vanilli?
