Show notes

We're back to take stock of one of the biggest bands to explode out of the 1980's as we decide The Best and Worst of Bon Jovi! In this episode, we kick off Part 1 covering every studio album from the self-titled 1984 debut through 2002’s Bounce. The goal was simple: each of us picked one favorite and one least favorite track from every album — no live albums, no compilations — and let the arguments fall where they may.

Highlighted moments
