Cross Road

Two previously unreleased songs were included on this greatest hits package, adding a little extra spice and also bringing the Bon Jovi story right up to date. Those two new songs were 'Always' and 'Someday I'll Be Saturday Night', and both ended up being worldwide hits. In fact, 'Always' became Bon Jovi's biggest ever single. And so 'Cross Road' proved more than just a celebration of past glories. These two new hits emphasized that Bon Jovi were as hugely popular as ever - a decade after their first album hit the streets. And listening to 'Cross Road', it's easy to understand why Bon Jovi are still filling stadia all over the world. From 'Runaway' to 'Livin' On A Prayer', from 'Bad Medicine' to 'Blaze Of Glory', from 'Keep The Faith' to 'Always', these are classic rock'n'roll songs, powerful and emotive. Quite simply, 'Cross Road' is the stuff that rock legends are made of. - Paul Elliott (Kerrang!)
