Whilst this website and it's members are a barometer for my musical tastes the views of the majority on here re :Bon Jovi are way off for me.

Too many on here expect them to be making New Jersey time and time again instead of understanding what happens to people as writers and musicians as they age. Look at Maiden, look at Metallica, look at Leppard - none of the great bands from the 80's are releasing albums with the same quality as they did in their glory days but Jovi seem to get more stick than any of the other bands put together.

Jon isn't the live singer he used to be and their setlists aren't what they could be but they still release decent music for me, it's just different. More sedate, lacking in riffs & searing solos but still good enough.
