BON JOVI IS NUMBER 1 AND THIS SHOULD BE THE NUMBER 1 OPENING LINE!

alright . bon jovi is definetely my favorite band, 1,000,000% all the way. alright?
springsteen is also great too !
theyre just in separate categories, not like "best" or something but like "Age" too ! springsteens been around a lil longer , so more people know him. i love "glory days" so shut up .
but bon jovi is alwasys & forever my favorite band. jon is hot. deal with it. so stop comparing them, becuse you cant compare 2 kings of rock ! theyre both amazing , alright ? so shut the friggin hell up & listen to bon jovi or springsteen . whatever the hell you prefer.
im gonna listen to bon jovi . so shut up ! i love youu bon jovi !! 1983-forever !!

Deserves the honor for the plain fact the line was one of the most popular during its time.

Sorry, no dis-respect to Bon Jovi, but I don't think anyone can out rock Sprinsteen. He is the only story teller AFTER Dylan, of course.

Who's the band that's still going strong and who just put out a new album which has already sold more albums than ever? Jovi's better than Springsteen by far! And Dylan? I guess he's ok if you like a guy who sounds like he sings through a foghorn....
expressflash4at 8-07-2007
heyy mama kat shut up this is the best song ever
Thyme2dreamat 8-06-2007
I dunno...I wasnt a Bon Jovi fan at all when I was younger, but I have gained a huge measure of respect for these guys over the years...definately the most artistic of the hair bands anyway.
And hey, if Aly can love him cant the rest of us??? ;-)

Pageat 8-06-2007
Springsteen? The only thing worthy to be on this list are a small handfull of songs from the mid 80's from him. Only one song of his could come in on this list and thats Glory Days.
michelleat 8-06-2007
bon jovi is in their own class and simply cannot be compared to any other.

As it would be an insult.
