All we can do is sit back, listen, and celebrate, the music of one kicking New Jersey band.John Francis Bongiovi Jr. Both songs were just as successful as each other on the charts. In stunning fashion, the song also flew all the way to the top of the Billboard charts giving the band two number-one singles in a row. “Living on a Prayer,” was issued as the second single from the Slippery When Wet LP. The song became the band’s first number one hit as it sailed to the top of the Billboard charts landing at Number One. “You Give Love a Bad Name,” was released on their 1986 Slippery When Wet LP. In the end, we decided the only way to go was to call it a TIE.īoth songs just simply defined the classic Bon Jovi sound of the 1980s. We made phone calls, we hit the street and polled more people than the GOP. After we were done, we still could not chooses between these two great Bon Jovi songs. We ate a couple of extra pizzas, and a few bags of Doritos, and drank a case of Diet Pepsi.

# 1 – Tie ! Living on A Prayer /You Give Love a Bad Name We think they made a mistake not releasing “We Got it Going On,” as a single because it’s the best Bon Jovi song on the album. The song “We Got it Going On,” was never released as a single. There were four singles released from the album. The song was written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora Kenny Alphin and John Rich. The record was released on the Island Nashville label. The song was released on the band’s 2007 Lost Highway album. With a little funk country flair, Bon Jovi’s “We Got It Goin’ On,” opens the Top 10 Bon Jovi Songs list. Here are ten Bon Jovi Songs that we feel represent the best material the band ever recorded.

The multi-octave voice of Jon Bon Jovi the slick guitar work of Richie Sambora, the layered 80’s midi keyboard sound of David Bryan, the great drum groove work of Tico Torres and the blistering bass lines of Alec John Such created a sound that millions of fans fell in love with. Although Bon Jovi fully participated in the big hair band aspect of the 1980s, their music presented rock and roll fans with far more substance and artistic merit than most of the other bands they were foolishly labeled with. The 1980s have often been referred to as the Big ’80s, or more specifically the big hair band ’80s.
