Hits List: Bon Jovi

This hard-rockin' band from New Jersey didn't catch fire right away, but when they did, they became one of the hottest bands in the world. In recent years, it seems it has been the United States that has missed the boat on this group or more accurately, the misguided way in which the U.S. interprets which songs are "popular", failing to see that it's the adults who control the airwaves, not the kids.  Here is the complete Hits List for Bon Jovi:
