BON JOVI...Bon Jovi (1984)
Bon Jovi was released 30 years ago today in 1984. It reached number 43 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. It is the debut album from this New Jersey based band, and a fine one at that. The opening track, 'Runaway,' was the only track I had ever heard before, as it became a rock radio favorite after their album "Slippery When Wet" became such a huge success. I do need to tell you that 'Runaway' is not the best track on the record as the next track 'Roulette' is a good rocker and is much better. Another highlight is 'Breakout.' A good rock 'n' roll album that has that 80's hair band sound, which is cool because that's always been good no matter how much it gets ridiculed
