Slippery When Wet

This was the big one. And they really don't come any bigger than the multi-million seller 'Slippery When Wet'. This album's tracklisting reads like a greatest hits: 'Livin' On A Prayer', 'You Give Love A Bad Name' and 'Wanted Dead Or Alive' are just three of the classic songs that made 'Slippery' arguably the hugest rock album of the 1980's. Promoted by a touring schedule that would make James Brown wilt, 'Slippery' changed Bon Jovi's lives forever. They were now superstars. 'Slippery' is showstopping stuff from start to finish. Any of these ten tracks could have been a hit single. In truth, Bon Jovi's album tracks are better than most band's biggest hits; anthems like 'Let It Rock', 'Raise Your Hands' and 'Wild In The Streets' are all certified Bon Jovi classics. In short, 'Slippery When Wet' is the perfect feelgood rock album. - Paul Elliott (Kerrang!)
