1591 - Bon Jovi Keep The Faith 1992

"Keep the Faith" is a song performed by American rock band Bon Jovi, written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Desmond Child. It is characterised by its driving bass line and is a live staple for the band. There is a particularly beautiful part when the song slows down and a marching soldier drum beat is played, the emotion that Jon puts in those couple of verses are truly touching.

1027 - Bon Jovi Livin' On A Prayer 1986

Bon Jovi are an American rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey. Formed in 1983, Bon Jovi consists of lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres and bassist Alec John Such. The band's line-up has remained mostly static during their 26-year history, the only exception being the departure of Alec John Such in 1994, who was replaced by Hugh McDonald.
The band have become known for writing several rock anthems, and achieved widespread recognition with their third album "Slippery When Wet", released in 1986. Bon Jovi are well-known for songs including "Livin' on a Prayer", Bon Jovi's second single from their "Slippery When Wet" album.
The song is about a fictional working class couple, Tommy and Gina, who struggle to make ends meet and maintain their relationship.
New Jersey is the only state in the union without an official state anthem, but Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" is cited by many, after Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run, as a sort of unofficial anthem. "Livin' on a Prayer" was one of the theme songs for the 2004 presidential campaign of Democrat John Kerry.

55 - Bon Jovi Runaway 1984

Few bands embodied the era of pop-metal like Bon Jovi. By merging Def Leppard's loud but tuneful metal with Bruce Springsteen's working-class sensibilities, the New Jersey-based quintet developed an ingratiatingly melodic and professional variation of hard rock. Bon Jovi skillfully employed professional songwriters to give their songs, especially their power ballads, an appropriately commercial sheen, inaugurating a trend that dominated mainstream hard rock and metal for the next decade. Bon Jovi's eponymous debut album was released in 1984, and "Runaway" became a Top 40 hit.
