Bon Jovi
-
Bon Jovi (1984) is a high-energy debut with inconsistent writing, but “Runaway” signals the arena band they were about to become.
-
Bon Jovi’s second effort is a rushed affair which fails to show their true potential.
-
Bon Jovi hit peak mid-80s form on Slippery When Wet (1986): huge hooks, bigger choruses and a relentless run of stadium-ready hard rock.
-
Bon Jovi return with a solid yet unremarkable follow-up to Slippery When Wet.
-
Bon Jovi rock into the 90s with one of their very best albums.
-
The final entry in Bon Jovi’s “golden run” shows a group growing older and more cynical.
-
Crush (2000) finds Bon Jovi modernising after a long break: a colossal lead single, smart deep cuts, and a back half that loses momentum.
-
Largely an extension of Crush, the powerful 9/11 overtones of Bounce make up for a lack of hit singles.
-
Re-imagined versions of their classic hits seemed like a cool idea at the time…
-
Bon Jovi celebrate their 20th anniversary with a sprawling boxset.
