I went round to a mates house and saw in his music collection along with a couple of old Red Hot Chili Pepper albums I fancied borrowing Bon Jovi's album Crush which is, in my opinion, fan-bloody-tastic! I put it on instantly remembering that Track Number 1: It's My Life was a huge hit at the time of release. I didn't appreciate just how good it was though until I listened to it again though and now I can't get it out of my head. It's just superb. All of you try and get a copy of it or download it or something!

You do know that "It's My Life" is a cover, don't you? To further your musical embarrassment, the song was used on Tampax adverts for years, so your parents/housemates/partner/whatever/dog probably think you're becoming a big sissy girl. Well, they'd think that anyway if you were listening to the Jovi. I hate Bon Jovi's music more than any other music. It's a whole genre to itself called "bad".
I just jumped at the chance to say Led Zeppelin. Because I love Led Zeppelin.
Fair enough Flockhart.
You don't like them.
I do like them.
You think aren't serious music.
I think they bridge the gap between AOR and metal better than any other band.

Yeah I know. Should have put in a full stop or something. It was in relation to the albums bit only.

i'm going to end my participation in this argument by saying this
anything i say can only ever be opinion and it's the same for you, my opinion you know.
as for not knowing what i'm on about, you are so far off the mark with that one it isnt worthy of a response.
i'm not alone in my opinion, no serious music could ever take them seriously and i believe you are being manipulated in the same way that boybands manipulate girls.
i once actually liked them and then i grew up and i saw them for what they are.

Led Zeppelin didn't have 30 hit singles. But they did have five number one albums, more in fact.
And Cubist, yes, listen to the damn CD. It's the best one you own, trust me.

Led Zeppelin didn't have 30 hit singles. But they did have five number one albums, more in fact.
And Cubist, yes, listen to the damn CD. It's the best one you own, trust me.

Actually, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora are two really nice guys according to my mate Scott, who managed Tower Records in Glasgow when they played an acoustic set there a few years back. No bull, no rock star crap, fantastic set, and they hung around with the fans.
To call him a complete w***er would involve admitting him being a great actor.

They aren't marketed anymore. They were always popular because they write great catchy rock songs. They are popular because they are brilliant live. They are far from cliched crap, having completely owned all other bands in the genre.

Not that many people. The Cheeky Girls had what, two hits? Bon Jovi have had something like 30 hit singles and five number 1 albums on the trot, up there with only Led Zeppelin, Rod Stewart, The Beatles.

But they have got the songs, which is why they are popular. And if you knew the first thing about them you would realise that their fanbase is very evenly spread. I've seen them twice, and they amount of hot twenty something females was astonishing.

Between 1986 and 1990 they were simply the biggest band in the world. They outsold everybody.
