It's hard to understand just how big this album was at the time unless you were there. Bon Jovi had had a few minor hits before this album, but suddenly was playing stadium tours with hit after hit. The songs still sound great; probably because the band has so much energy on these tracks. It's like they knew they had a breakout record as they were recording it. My favorites include "Livin' On A Prayer", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Without Love", "You Give Love A Bad Name", and "Never Say Goodbye".
Bon Jovi was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
