Bon Jovi

My favorite all time CD, I think I am on about my 6th CD..You just can't go wrong with this CD. I saw Bon Jovi for the first time when the opened for Ratt at a place called Starry Night in Portland Oregon. I stood about 4 feet from him and was hooked. 28 years later I'm still a fan and have seen them many a time in concert.

Good for the collection

I wanted to complete my Bon Jovi collection, but the quality is not as good as some of their later stuff, still worth a buy.

The young Bon Jovi

I was going back and buying CDs of Bon Jovi that I didn't have. I was delighted to find this CD at Amazon. This CD shows the band as more of a true rock band. They have matured now and added other types of music which is to be expected. But if you want a rocking good time, this album is for you!

Bon Jovi's Best album

This album to me is a masterpiece and showcases the band's talent, even though it was only their first. It's no wonder they are still going strong!
Although Jon's voice doesn't quite hit the notes that he is able to hit now, with such song's as In These Arms, Livin' On A Prayer and I'll Be There For You, this album is still one of the best early entries to the Glam Metal scene.
I thoroughly recommend this album to anyone who is after good, hard hittin' rockin' beats and melodies from the Eighties that will still go the distance today.

On the street where you live...

The phenomenon that is Bon Jovi got its start right here, album one, song one. A little ditty called "Runaway" which started out life as a demo from a young kid whose cousin ran the Power Station in New York as a top producer, while he swept the floor. Though the rest album was the creation of an emerging supergroup, there was no doubt that the group's success or failure would rest on the splendidly coiffed shoulders of their epononymous front-man. Jon has become a huge celebrity and he and his band have earned most of what they have received both in adulation and in scorn as representatives and surprisingly still relevant icons of the hair metal era. They seemed from the beginning to court something much bigger than being a run of the mill ballad and rockers band. The debut record was released in early 1984 and except for the aforementioned "Runaway' which is still one of their two most important songs ever, it was a fairly modest success. It got Jon and Richie noticed and got them on the road in support of KISS and Scorpions among others. The rest of `Bon Jovi' is decent to middling AOR/hard rock (to call it metal is a stretch). "She Don't Know Me", a rare outside songwriting credit on a Bon Jovi record is a strong up tempo ballad, while "Shot Through the Heart", "Breakout", "Get Ready" and "Roulette" satisfy as hard rockers. It is a good record and it firmly establishes Bon Jovi as a hard rock band who had no problem wanting pop success, even if that would take a few more tries before superstardom was achieved.
