Crossroad: The Best of Bon Jovi

Featuring all your favourites from Livin' On A Prayer, Keep the Faith, Always and Bed of Roses. You'll really have to rack your brain to think of hit song that didn't make it onto the album and although there were a couple of later songs which obviously weren't out at the time this was released this album basically has it all.

There's not really a lot more to say. If you love rock music you've got to a have soft spot for Jon and boys. Warm and unpretentious and never taking themselves too seriously this is good honest rock music at its very best. Put the album on and sing along. Brilliant!

Ok, you got into Bon Jovi through Crush, its my life and the latest Bounce album. How do you get into the "old" Bon Jovi without spending 100 on albums you may or may not like???

Solution- buy this one!!!! It does not show all the great songs form the 1980s but believe its a great start. Living on a Prayer, Wanted Dead or alive, you give love a bad name, bed of roses are just some of the pre These Days era. and their first ever single Runaway is on her as well. There are also two new songs- Always and Someday I'll be Saturday Night (Always is the highest selling single of Bon Jovi in the UK charts so it's deinetly worth a listen- get the tissues out!!)

I bought this album (even before I bought Crush and I was part of the "Its my Life" era and within 6 months I had bought Bon Jovis first 5 albums.

5/5- classic!!! one to own!!!

This has to the their best album.
It has all their best songs on here from 1982-1994.
Anyone who is not a fan of Bon Jovi but likes a couple of their songs will truly love this album as it is their hits and not the songs that are album fillers - not that any songs are on their albums.
It is a great album and one of the best "best of" albums around to date and I love playing this music.
If I wanna put a pre 1994 bon Jovi album on but can't decide which one then I put this on as it has all their pre 1994 best songs on. There maybe the odd one or two others i would personally put on here and I might take one or two off in their place but that doesn't mean that this album isn't as good as what I am saying.
This album is an album I can sit and listen to time and time again and it never ages and its just a great ~Bon Jovi album from start to finish and I can garenteee that once u put it on you will listen to it from start to finish.
A+++++ album, 10/10

This album is the most amazing Bon Jovi album released, it has all the best tracks they have ever recorded on it. The songs vary from absolute love songs(bed of roses, always) to feel good, upbeat rock songs(livin on a prayer, you give love a bad name) which makes it interesting to listen to, and good for any mood. This album definately deserves five stars.


Essential!   October 6, 2005

Anybody with a passing interest in Bon Jovi should own this album.

Crammed with all-time-great rock songs such as Livin' on a Prayer, Bad Medicine and Wanted Dead or Alive, it is the perfect introduction to Bon Jovi newbies.

But even for the Bon Jovi connoisseur, this is still an essential purchase, thanks to the inclusion of Always, and Someday I'll be Saturday Night - two of the band's greatest songs, and which aren't available on any other album in their original recording.

Arriving on the band's tenth anniversary, Crossroad is an excellent showcase for the Jersey boys, supplying listeners with their well known hits (Prayer, You give love a Bad Name) and maybe revealing some of their not so well known songs, like the under-appreciated In These Arms, or Lay your hands on me.

This is an amazing record, that deserves to be bought, and shuts up any of the band's naysayers. The one thing that's wrong with this album is that they couldn't fit all of the BJovi's mega songs on it - and there have been some true classics left out.

So I urge you to listen to this - and if you like, track down their previous albums and find out what you're missing.
