Amazon.co.uk Review
This best-of is loaded with the usual smash suspects plus three new cuts--the sub-Mellancamp "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night", the Bed of Roses-style ballad single "Always", and a low-key remake of "Living On A Prayer" titled "Prayer '94". Love 'em or not, there's no denying the loyalty of the fans. --Jeff Bateman

CD Description
Bon Jovi finally offers CROSS ROAD, a collection of their best songs plus two recent compositions and a new version of a classic. Fans and first-timers alike will delight in and sing along with this choice blend of hard pop and edgy anthems. "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night" and "Always" continue the Bon Jovi tradition of gritty love songs and rock poetry. Jon Bon Jovi's coarse yet smooth vocals reach out and paint images of characters caught in an American scenic painting, "gotta live my life like I ain't got nothin' but this roll ofthe dice" Jon Bon Jovi claims in one song. With "Prayer '94" the band offers a toned-down version of "Livin' On A Prayer" which through its subdued, semi-acoustic demeanor achieves an intensity not found in the original. CROSS ROAD remindsus why Bon Jovi is such a successful band. Solid songwriting, excellent production and a killer sound will keep this band on the charts.

Customer Reviews

Crossroad: The Best of Bon Jovi
Good solid rock bands don't really come much more solid and rocky than Bon Jovi, and with this album, their greatest hits from 1982-94, featuring hit after hit, there really isn't anything to suggest they perhaps aren't the best pop-rock outfit ever.

Featuring all your favourites from Livin' On A Prayer, Keep the Faith, Always and Bed of Roses. You'll really have to rack your brain to think of hit song that didn't make it onto the album and although there were a couple of later songs which obviously weren't out at the time this was released this album basically has it all.

There's not really a lot more to say. If you love rock music you've got to a have soft spot for Jon and boys. Warm and unpretentious and never taking themselves too seriously this is good honest rock music at its very best. Put the album on and sing along. Brilliant!

A must for all "new" bon jovi fans
Ok, you got into Bon Jovi through Crush, its my life and the latest Bounce album. How do you get into the "old" Bon Jovi without spending £100 on albums you may or may not like???

Solution- buy this one!!!! It does not show all the great songs form the 1980s but believe its a great start. Living on a Prayer, Wanted Dead or alive, you give love a bad name, bed of roses are just some of the pre These Days era. and their first ever single Runaway is on her as well. There are also two new songs- Always and Someday I'll be Saturday Night (Always is the highest selling single of Bon Jovi in the UK charts so it's deinetly worth a listen- get the tissues out!!)

I bought this album (even before I bought Crush and I was part of the "Its my Life" era and within 6 months I had bought Bon Jovis first 5 albums.

5/5- classic!!! one to own!!!

Best
This has to the their best album.
It has all their best songs on here from 1982-1994.
Anyone who is not a fan of Bon Jovi but likes a couple of their songs will truly love this album as it is their hits and not the songs that are album fillers - not that any songs are on their albums.
It is a great album and one of the best "best of" albums around to date and I love playing this music.
If I wanna put a pre 1994 bon Jovi album on but can't decide which one then I put this on as it has all their pre 1994 best songs on. There maybe the odd one or two others i would personally put on here and I might take one or two off in their place but that doesn't mean that this album isn't as good as what I am saying.
This album is an album I can sit and listen to time and time again and it never ages and its just a great ~Bon Jovi album from start to finish and I can garenteee that once u put it on you will listen to it from start to finish.
A+++++ album, 10/10
