Is there a shared love of Bryan Adams in your household?
Absolutely not. Though I'm not ashamed to admit I knew which Bon Jovi album the girl standing behind me in the bus queue was playing through her headphones.

Man, I hate bon jovi. Some of the late 80s, early 90s stuff is kinda fun if I'm in the right campy/nostalgic mood (I used to really like him), but why they are still popular just boggles the mind. I had a whole class of 12 year old girls in love with in my life in 2000, and I wanted to fail every one of them on principle.

While Sarah is rocking out to "Bad Medicine", I'm crying in a corner to "Do I Have to Say the Words?"

You guys should put on "The Next 100 Years" and snuggle afterwards.

Everything after Keep the Faith is downhill in my opinion. Although Have a Nice Day was a decent effort.

yeah yeah yeah. but still, pearl jam isn't in the same league, popularity wise, as Bon Jovi.

Someone correct me if that's wrong. I'd love if this was the case.

As much as I love PJ, they aren't gonna sell out stadiums the way Bon Jovi does. Unfortunate.

im sure a lot of their current popularity is from their switch to country recently, or at least doing a song or 2 that were getting played on country stations, it seems like people who listen to pop country stations will love anything put in front of them
