However, at times, there is something quite disconcerting about this greatest hits collection. However, juxtaposed with these heavy tracks, Bon Jovi proves that they are just as anthemic in their ballads as they are in their powerhouse records, as exemplified in Bed of Roses and the timeless Always, which stands as Bon Jovi's highest selling single ever. Tracks such as Wanted Dead or Alive, reveal this band's abilities to transgress across various sectors within the rock genre to country western extremes, whilst simultaneously concocting the perfect classic masterpiece. It's not even merely a chorological feat either. Considering that these two tracks span 14 years (with You Give Love a Bad name ironically being their first official single to chart at top of the US charts) simply highlights this band's resilient consistency across the decades. Straight away we are struck with Bon Jovi's two other colossal hits, You give Love a Bad Name and the fan-favourite It's My Life. The collection itself does not lose steam either. That accumulative introduction is simply all that is needed to raise hairs on your arms. The album kicks off in dramatic fashion with undoubtedly their biggest track to date, the 1986 Livin' on a Prayer.
Now in 2010, after 15 years since their last greatest hits, Bon Jovi are back to exemplify exactly why they are heralded as one of the greatest rock bands of our time. After nearly 30 years in the industry, this New Jersey band have rocked into public consciousness with eleven studio albums and over 2600 concerts in around 50 countries around the world.
