I presume it will include that awful one that was a massive populist hit back in about 1994 or so? Always, or something like that. A horrifying harbinger of Aerosmith's pukesome 'Don't Wanna Miss A Thing'

I think all their albums range from good to very good, so it's definitely worth listening to some of them. The one studio album you definitely want to buy is Slippery When Wet. One of their most popular albums as it has Livin' On A Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name and Wanted Dead Or Alive, but beyond the songs that everyone knows, there's some great album tracks on there too.

Possibly it will, good reason not to buy it.

The only Bon Jovi album I have is Keep The Faith, which I think is the best one too. The song Dry County is notably missing from the above collection - it is about 10 minutes long though so not really surprising it got missed out.
