\"Bon<\/a>I was familiar with Bon Jovi.<\/em> Runaway was a staple of the Rise part of The Rise & Fall Of ’84<\/em>.\u00a0 I even saw Bon Jovi<\/em> on tour supporting the previous record. I forget who he was opening for. Did he ever tour with Billy Squier<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Slippery When Wet<\/em> took an already popular Bon Jovi <\/em>to the next level. With the way the girls were reacting to Bon Jovi<\/em>, I had to buy this album if only to learn a couple songs from it.\u00a0I eventually would play You Give Love A Bad Name <\/em>and\u00a0 Livin’ On A Prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

I can’t say that I was ever a huge Bon Jovi<\/em> fan. Slippery When Wet<\/em> didn’t make the Compact Disc cut. Instead I opted for Cross Road. <\/em>I felt that the Best Of approach was sufficient to deliver any fix required for Bon Jovi.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Again, I can see the Mix Tape<\/em> phenomenon at play.\u00a0I’m quite familiar with some of Bon Jovi’s <\/em> stuff. Those that made the party tape rotation are like old friends but the rest of the stuff remains a stranger.<\/p>\n

You Give Love A Bad Name<\/em>
