Slippery When Wet was the best album (remember albums?) of 1986. It will always put a smile on my face to hear this or any track from this timeless album. Lauren is right - it's just plain fun...I listen to it when I am alone in the car and sing at the top of my lungs! LOL! Love it!

Oh, come on, Bon Jovi music is just plain fun! There are few bands that are quite as satisfying to sing along with at the top of your lungs.
"Unintelligi b l e vocal delivery," guys? Really? Poor Jon Bon Jovi, his feelings are hurt. |

Johnny can sing ! Great tune at a great time for Rock'n'Roll. . . 8 0 ' s Rock was great - allot of bands popping up all over the place !
|
||
This band , especially You Gave A Love A Bad Name, is awesome! Keep rockin', Bon Jovi!

Bon Jovi set the stage for the hair bands of the 80's. Whitesnake, Metallica, Poision and so on.. They were the best in my mind. Everything they touched turned to gold. Great band with a great sound. They still rock to this day. Not many 80's hair bands can say that! Rock and Roll will never die, it will just keep rolling!!

Hard to hate this song, no matter what it helped do to the metal scene. It's not their fault the studios thought that everyone had to imitate them.
|
||
His first self titled album had his best stuff as far as Im concerned.
|
||
No band has more powerful choruses than bon jovi--this being just one example.

One of the best pop-rock tunes of the eighties. Sorry folks, but this one hit at just the right time and placed Bon Jovi on top of the 80's music mountain. I remember being excited about this band, but it went away very quickly by the end of the 80's.

Love you Bon Jovi and always will!!!!!! Keep up the great stuff!!!!

My girlfriend broke up with me and I don't know what love is. My girl is going to be so anti- guy girl because of her reglion, and she is not aloud to date any body or gender, and she is not aloud to get marry to anybody,so she can't be my true love, I am roamntic, sweet to girls. I am real easy to get along with. I'm looking for my true love. If you are instered you can email me on myyearbook.c o m . my eamil is bad_to_the_b o n e _ d j @ y a h o o . co m
