Description: Playing off of Elvis Presley’s 1959 album
50 Million Elvis Presley Fans Can’t Be Wrong, right down to the gold-lame suits the quartet dons on the cover, stalwart rockers Bon Jovi make a strong case that they’re one of the true populist bands of their era with a box set that serves up dozens of previously unheard and seldom heard offerings. Designed as a heaping 20-year anniversary feast for insatiable fans, the four-disc/bonus DVD collection is surprisingly vital and consistent, considering that just about everything included was initially either rejected or related to B-sides and soundtracks. The high quality of these castoffs is attributable to the band’s habit of preparing dozens of tracks for each album and cutting loose strong compositions that didn’t fit with the theme of the completed product. Thus, some stylistic stretches were left in the vaults (check out the Southside Johnny-style r&b of "Love Ain’t Nothing But a Four Letter Word"). Bon Jovi fans will find be delighted by this collection, and even skeptics may find themselves reconsidering these Jersey survivors.

Reviews:
100,000,000 Bon Jovi fans can't be wrong?
Yes they can, Bon Jovi, yes they can. When will amazon.com let us give zero stars for a review? With all of the great site upgrades they have done for us, they still deny us the zero stars option.
Are you kidding?
Is the title trying to make us believe there are 100,000,000 people out there with musical taste that horrid? I seriously doubt it. This is the apex of banality. So many great bands deserve a box set and what are we getting these days? This and Nirvana. Jesus.
Bon Jovi Fan since the beginning
I am very pleased with this album, however, the only thing that I wish that they did was put all the hits on this.... rather than the unreleased ones.
