Advantages: All of bon jovi's great hits in one. Disadvantages: can't think of any, been thinking a little while too!!
...first saw the bon jovi cross road cd i was about 7 years old and thought it was just any other cd lying around my brothers bedroom. I never listened to it until I was about 13 or 14. However, once I realised what it was I was listening to I played it countless times since! It has their smash hit number 1 ''Livin' on a Prayer'' which almost anyone on the street would recognise if you were to play it on a duke box in any pub across the country. It also ...

Advantages: Loads of hits, great lyrics Disadvantages: Only covers 1984-1994!
Bon Jovi are a five piece rock band hailing from New Jersey. Their original line up consisted of Jon Bongiovi (Vocals and Guitar), Richie Sambora (Lead Guitar), Tico Torres (Drums), David Bryan (Keyboards) and Alec John Such (Bass). Such left the band in 1994 and was replaced by Hugh Macdonald. Often hailed as one of the greatest rock bands of the 1980's (and not just by me before you ask!), Bon Jovi have something for everyone. Their style of accessable, ...

Advantages: Ideal for new listners Disadvantages: More established fans will want something more.
Almost the perfect introduction to Bon Jovi. One of the all time populist bands Bon Jovi have withstood many a musical trend and this disc sums up the first ten years of their career decently.
Greatest hits on the whole are not for die hard fans but for casual listners and new comers to an artists music. If you are a die hard Bon Jovi fan then you could probably compile your own hits package of your personal, maybe more obscure offerings; as a new ...

Advantages: ALL THE BEST SONGS ARE ON THIS CD Disadvantages: None for me
Crossroads is my favourite Bon Jovi album, I once owned it on vinyl but now its on CD and my MP3 player, how times have changed. This album has the cream of the crop song titles on it and is great in the car when stuck in the early morning traffic jam and what do we sing when stuck in the traffic? "keep the faith"... You cant beat the electric guitar and superb voice of Jon for listening and rocking to in the car.. nice and loud to drown out the modern ...

Advantages: Great Variety - Bon Jovi's Best Disadvantages: none
...can get tickets ...
About Cross Roads - Stunning Album , Song Writing has a lot of feel .. especially 'Always' and 'Bed of Roses'. Richie Sambora literally makes the guitar cry in his solos in 'Always' ... highly under rated guitarist i must say .. Superb guitar solos on most songs ..
Great keyboarding with a very catchy riff on Runaway .. very good harmonic vocals...which make the songs sound very rich.
good lyrics on all songs and there can't ...

Advantages: All his hits on one CD Disadvantages: Bit slow at the end
A great first half of an album, mixed with all his greatest songs at the beggining, then his less rated songs at the end. I would get this album just to be able to turn it up, put the window down and yell along to the words as loud as you can (its great fun) and make everyone in the car join in with you. Unfortunately after the fist load of songs you will have to wind the window up while skip a load of second class songs untill you get back to songs ...

Advantages: goog music perfect artist and one of the best albums ever Disadvantages: There are plenty of candidates to be included on this disc that were left at the cutting room floor
This is a great CD. With amazing songs from start to finish, including the hit "Livin' On A Prayer," Bon Jovi has shown once again that they aren't just one-hit wonders.
"Always and "Bed Of Roses " are two songs for love, which can make you thinking about good things. It can change your mind.
The band's most well known songs are here, from the cheesy if enjoyable Bad Medicine to possibly the band's biggest hit ever, not to mention one of their ...

Advantages: The best album of the 90s Disadvantages: It finishes!
Had this CD bought for me by a friend a couple of years ago, and it's my most listened to CD since then. I always liked the band, but never enough to buy their CDs.... until this one! It has all the famous songs on, so its even perfect for the less hardcore fans. I mean, who can have a great night out without hearing Livin' On A Prayer?!
From pure rock songs like Bad Medicine to ballads like Always, there is something for everyone on this outstanding ...
