Ahh, right right, I see what you mean.

I love, love Bon Jovi! Have never seen them live but would really like to. I haven't bought most of the newer stuff but that's not due to lack of time (or laziness)!

Wanted Dead or Alive, now that's what it's all about. Everything else they did pretty much sucks.

I will admit that in 5th grade I was a big fan and Slippery When Wet was my favorite album. I was also listening to Huey Lewis and the News at the time. But I still have respect for him/them. I hold Bon Jovi in the same place I hold Nickelback and Kid Rock. And that's not a good place. I respect Bon Jovi's earlier work because I was a fan at one time, but I outgrew it fast and it's just watered down mass-appeal rock. Not my thing.

This thread supports a very strange concept.

Same thing here, just getting into good music and grasping at anything that seemed like good rock or metal. I can't stand the newer stuff that being anything post 1986, but 7800 deg Farenheit and Slippery when wet were pretty good.

Bon Jovi is awful (IMO), but I must salute you for having the guts to post a Bon Jovi topic on here...

To be honest, I never really cared about what people on an internet forum think about my taste in music. Hell, I'll even admit that I listen to Madonna, Duran Duran, HIM, and Cyndi Lauper.
