Unless there's a song or two that got a lot of airplay, I don't know a single song on this record or any other Bon Bon Jovi's so I've gotta sit this one out.  (Wasn't he in a movie or two?)

I can't imagine that it's possible you don't know at least a couple of songs on this record. There are at least 3 that got insane airplay, and you still hear them come up here and there on a regular basis. Mega hits.

Please tell me what they are and I'll YouTube them for my Bonification... I mean, edification.

You Give Love a Bad Name

Livin' On a Prayer

Wanted Dead or Alive

Sorry, but if all the music in the world suddenly disappeared save this one record, I would probably have to shoot myself.

You Give Love a Bad Name

Livin' On a Prayer

Wanted Dead or Alive

Thank you!

After giving them a listen, here's my recollection (or lack there of):

"You Give Love a Bad Name":  Sounds very vaguely familiar.  To my ears, sounds very formulaic. 

"Livin' On a Prayer":  Not even vaguely familiar.  Is that a Talk Box in the background or someone in the bathroom heaving?

"Wanted Dead or Alive":  Nope, not familiar.  I liked this one a bit- especially the intro-  but the video with all the limos and Big Hair and private Lear jets killed it for me.

Sorry, but if all the music in the world suddenly disappeared save this one record, I would probably have to shoot myself. 

Edit:  By the way, as always, I don't mean to disparage this music.  I never call anything "bad music".  I know a lot of people must love this record and if it makes them happy, that's cool by me!

I can't fathom how anyone could not know these songs!

I get it!  Funny thing is, I've said that  a million times myself when, for instance, someone says they've never heard You're Living All Over Me or even know who the hell Dinosaur Jr is.  I'm thinking, oh my god!  You must! 

And then it happens to myself when, like tonight, I put on a record I recently came across that I'd never heard before- specifically tonight, a copy of SVT's Extended Play.  A few seconds into the first cut I'm already there.  As it's title says, it's an EP and not all the songs work so well but the few that do are di-no-mite.  And Jack Cassidy is in the band!  How did I never hear this before! 

There is

so

much

music.

Wanted Dead or Alive has, to me, one of the greatest lyrics ever written in "I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all".

Very powerful.

Indeed, overall just a great song about life on the road.
