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.

Bon Jovi is better than Bryan Adams.

my wife is a 38 year old woman and she still loses her shit at a wedding or something if they play living on a prayer.

Fucking Jersey girls, man.

You live for the fight when that's all that you've got, stip.

She's the same age as me
It has to be done though.

and you don't?

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?"

Wait till the first time you go to a Christening where they play Sirens, stip.

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

Did anyone else's irony detector just go off?

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

Just hearing this song for the first time yesterday along with the album and it's easily one of my favourites.

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.

Just a well-meaning joke

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
