All the clasic 80s and 90s tracks are here, as this came out in 94, but it doesn't have any of their recent material, which isn't always a bad thing, as their newer stuff isn't nearly as strong as the old stuff, which I'm sure for the die hards, they will complain, but then again, if you are a die hard, you probably already own them, though its my life is one that I personally miss. I'm by no means the biggest bon jovi fan in the world, and the only other album I have purchased was Slippery When Wet, on cassette, in the bargain bin, because I had an old used car that didn't have a cd player, so I was always on the hunt for cheap albums. Even as a greatest hits album there are still some songs that I wouldn't be sad to get rid of, so I wouldn't mind a more definative greatest hits album, but respect the band for not making a new one ever year or two like Aerosmith, and I can't stand the Left makes a right as a reimagining of their hits, mostly acoustic and piano pieces that are hit and miss. I did enjoy it, but there was plenty of filler, as I have felt there has always been on their albums. That being said, who doesn't sing along to living on a prayer, You Give Love a bad Name, or Wanted Dead or Alive. This came out before the band broke up the first time so that jon could pursue acting, and this was supposed to be definative, but with a recent release I don't see a new greatest hits album coming any time soon. For a look at the old Bon Jovi and all the songs that the average person knows by heart, this is still the one album you should get in the Bon Jovi Catalouge as I have always thought of Bon Jovi as a greatest hits kind of band and this is it.
This is a well done CD that contains numerous nice songs and is worth the collection. I bought it from HMV in Singapore where they are likely to import the goods to Singapore via the internet. There are two songs inside that turns out to be the best of the whole album which they are:-1) You give love a bad name2) Bad Medicine3) AlwaysI hereby give this album a 5 star rating based on this album.Cross RoadReview by:Dr, MR FRanc MBBS (PhD) Ang Poon KahDirector Ron Howard - Ang Poon Kah for film Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, Bourne Ultimatum and many more
There was a Jazz CD, in the case, not Bon Jovi.Since I did not pay much, did not make a fuss, but disappointed.
It's a joy to finally be able to hear this album again. I was raised on this album. I came to love every single song on this album, which is a colletion of Bon Jovi songs. As I listen to the songs with more mature ears, I find that some of the songs are good but not great. But they will always be amazing to me since I've been listening to them since I was little.If you are a Bon Jovi fan, you will probably appreciate this collection, or if you're new to the band, it's good to that too (it introduced me to Bon Jovi).
I never tire of listening to this album, so I bought it for my cousin who is also a fan.If you like Bon Jovi, you need this one in your collection.
