- Bon Jovi's greatest albumPretty much every hit of theirs is on this CD. Now, I have loved Bon Jovi since forever and you can't go wrong with their 80's stuff. Livin on a Prayer, Blaze of Glory You Give Love a Bad Name, etc...All wonderfully awesome pieces of music. However, I simply and utterly love 'Always'. I think it was written for this CD and I must say that it is on par with their classic older songs. Its an amazing and powerful single. And probably my favorite Bon Jovi song in general. That, and their very first hit single, 'Runaway', which also happens to be on this CD. It can't get any better than this.

- The Bon Jovi Band of the 1980s and 1990s!Jon Bon Jovi grew up in my hometown of Sayreville, New Jersey so I'm a little biased because I do have pride in the fact that Jon Bon Jovi is still rocking since the 1980s with his band. Few bands or groups have lasted as long with the same popularity. This compact disc also features Alec Such who was dismissed by the band beacuse of his performance. Jon Bon Jovi has dabbled in his own music and an acting career. He has also married his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley, and fathered four children with her. The other bandmates like Richie Sambora have done other things but the band always comes back together to rock. THe songs on this compact disc are great ballads like Wanted: Dead or Alive about life on the road, Livin on a Prayer, Bad Medicine, You Give Love a Bad Name, an earlier hit named Runaway, Lay Your Hands on Me, Never Say Goodbye which was a high school song for most graduating classes including my own, etc. This compact disc has 14 of it's greatest hits all here on one disc. IT's a great bargain for the price. The enclosed information includes the songs from all the other albums listed there. It's quite useful information in purchasing other of their compact discs.

- Totally justified greatest hits packageOK I'll admit I'm a bit of a non-fan of this band though you wouldn't know it if you trawled through my CD collection, each darn studio effort these boys put out up to Keep the Faith is present and accounted for. But even though I'm an avowed sceptic when it comes to this mob it must be admitted their brand of pop metal AOR shifted some serious units and the band did pen some great teen rock anthems all within a G rated atmosphere of uplifting good times.
So at the juncture post New Jersey it's utterly justified for this mob to produce a best of for their loving minions of perennial 14 year old housewives and really, for the price you can get this for nowadays there are no excuses for even the very very occasional fan not to pick up this grab bag of BJ's finest moments.
A quick flick down the track listing will show you that megahits like Livin' On A Prayer, Keep the Faith and You Give Love A Bad Name are all present and accounted for. The album is actually fairly rock orientated in a way that flies in the face of the bands girlie image and some real soul is injected into proceedings by the inclusion of Wanted Dead or Alive and the Jon solo hit Blaze of Glory. The collection reaches all the way back to their debut for their initial calling card of Runaway and the musically different feel of In & Out of Love shows that this band were capable of writing in forms other than the cliche.
Sure there are a wad of soft rock ballads, some of which really should have you reaching for the sick bag (Bed of Roses anyone?), but the zest and dead seriousness with which even the ballads are attacked means that it's hard to fault the philosophical headspace from which they come.
A look at the track listing should decide it for you but I would recommend picking this up if you've tapped your foot along to any of these songs on the radio.
