Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This best-of is loaded with the usual smash suspects plus three new cuts--the sub-Mellancamp "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night", the Bed of Roses-style ballad single "Always", and a low-key remake of "Living On A Prayer" titled "Prayer '94". Love 'em or not, there's no denying the loyalty of the fans. --Jeff Bateman

Good solid rock bands don't really come much more solid and rocky than Bon Jovi, and with this album, their greatest hits from 1982-94, featuring hit after hit, there really isn't anything to suggest they perhaps aren't the best pop-rock outfit ever.
Featuring all your favourites from Livin' On A Prayer, Keep the Faith, Always and Bed of Roses. You'll really have to rack your brain to think of hit song that didn't make it onto the album and although there were a couple of later songs which obviously weren't out at the time this was released this album basically has it all.
There's not really a lot more to say. If you love rock music you've got to a have soft spot for Jon and boys. Warm and unpretentious and never taking themselves too seriously this is good honest rock music at its very best. Put the album on and sing along. Brilliant!

this was the very first jovi album that i bought, as i usually buy the greatest hits of a band before i explore their back catalouge.
1. Livin on a Prayer - what a song to kick off their greatest hits albume, for me the greatest jovi tune ever, from the album slippery when wet 11/10
2. Keep the Faith - this is the song that rejuvinated bon jovi after their split in the early ninety's great tune with a good beat, from the album of the same name 8/10
3. Someday i'll be saturday night - a new song for this collection and a good one upbeat about how you may be down right now but things can only get better 8/10
4. Always - what can you say about this song, another new for this album and a classic. jovi's best love song 10/10
5. Wanted Dead or Alive - a great song all rock but strangely cowboy sounding, great tune from slippery when wet 9/10
6. Lay your Hands on me - a good solid tune that was the first track on the new jersey album, a bit chanty with repetitive chorus' but good none the less 7/10
7. you give love a bad name - awesome song almost as good as prayer, and from the same album slippery when wet 9/10
8. bed of roses - a great ballad almost as good as always, from the album keep the faith, great guitar sounds. 9/10
9. blaze of glory - previously a jon solo single from the album of the same name. one of their best very cowboy esque rock. 9/10
10. in these arms - a ballad but faster than always and roses. from the album keep the faith. 8/10
11. Bad medicine - great tune again awesome keyboard and drum segments. really feel this tune. from the album new jersey. 9/10
12. i'll be there for you - another slow rock ballad, decent. from the album new jersey. 7/10
13. in and out of love - the only track to make it from their second album 7800 degrees farenheit a decent tune but nothing special. 7/10
14. runaway - great tune bon jovi's first single and the only song to make it from their self titled first album bon jovi. 9/10
15. Never say goodbye - slow song similar to i'll be there for you, nice tune. from the album slippery when wet. 8/10
all in all a great album nice tracks and a great feel overall 9/10

Ok, you got into Bon Jovi through Crush, its my life and the latest Bounce album. How do you get into the "old" Bon Jovi without spending £100 on albums you may or may not like???
Solution- buy this one!!!! It does not show all the great songs form the 1980s but believe its a great start. Living on a Prayer, Wanted Dead or alive, you give love a bad name, bed of roses are just some of the pre These Days era. and their first ever single Runaway is on her as well. There are also two new songs- Always and Someday I'll be Saturday Night (Always is the highest selling single of Bon Jovi in the UK charts so it's deinetly worth a listen- get the tissues out!!)
I bought this album (even before I bought Crush and I was part of the "Its my Life" era and within 6 months I had bought Bon Jovis first 5 albums.
5/5- classic!!! one to own!!!
