"Bad Medicine", Said Teacher...I Said "Lay Your Hands on Me"

Bon Jovi is definitely one of the greatest rock bands in the history. They have only one big hit album "Slippery When Wet" but they have also other great albums. They have chosen four songs (the best songs) from "Slippery When Wet". They are "Livin' on a Prayer", "Wanted Dead Or Alive", "You Give Love a Bad Name" and the ballad "Never Say Goodbye". They have made great choices from the two other great albums "New Jersey" ("Lay Your Hands on Me", "Bad Medicine", "I'll Be There for You") and "Keep the Faith" ("Keep the Faith", "In These Arms", "Bed of Roses"). Unfortunately there's only one songs from "Bon Jovi" ("Runaway") and one from "7800 Fahrenheit" ("In & Out of Love"). There's three previously unreleased songs "Always", "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night", and "Blaze of Glory". They all are great songs and this is maybe the best collection that could have been made ever by Bon Jovi after those five albums . I think "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" from "Keep the Faith" could have been also a great song but that's only my opinion. Jon Bon Jovi has defintelly a great voice and he can make really good songs with his band members.

the best of the best

I bought this album not long ago. I have to confess that I'm not a Bon Jovi fan from the first hour. The tophit I'ts my life brought me to this band and a girl made sure that I stick to it. I just love the balades and Always will forever have a very special meaning for me as it ties me to that important person. That's what romance is made of. That's what Bon Jovi's music is made of. And you can feel the power that is in these songs by listening to the records on this album. Take 'In these Arms' for example...It's full of desire and strenght...those who don't enjoy Bon Jovi are always laughing at me...but I don't care...that's another theme that somehow appears in the Bon Jovi lyrics: Just stick to what you are, stay how you are. There's no other way to describe this album...It's full of emotions.

The Ulimate Jon Bon Jovi Experience!!!

If there is only one Bon Jovi Cd to own this is it!!!! I wasn't a major Jovi fan before listening to Crossroad, but after a friend of mine lent it too me I HAD to own it myself. I play it everywhere, in the car, at work, at the gym. It has a perfect balance of classic Bon Jovi rock and famous Jovi love songs. A beyond amazing combination of Jovi's best songs! I can't express in words how much I LOVE this cd!!!!!! This is a must have for anyone who calls themselves Bon Jovi fans!!! If you're not a fan of Bon Jovi, you will be after listening to this album!!!
