After two middlingly successful albums, Bon Jovi went for broke onSlippery When Wet, teaming up with super-producer Bruce Fairbairn and veteran songwriter Desmond Child. The result was a 10-song slab of bulletproof pop-metal, with razor-sharp riffs and PG-rated raunch tempered by fizzy hooks and soaring choruses.
Slippery When Wet‘s triptych of genre-defining smashes —”You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Wanted Dead or Alive” — pushed the album to nearly 30 million global sales, but every song here is an irresistible slice of roof-raising cheese-rock.

Bon Jovi’s hair metal phase was a distant memory by the time they released What About Now.
With Richie Sambora reportedly preoccupied with his solo album Aftermath of the Lowdown, Jon Bon Jovi leaned on producer John Shanks and longtime associate Billy Falcon as writing partners.
The result is an album of milquetoast, adult-contemporary pop-rock and lyrical platitudes, with none of the fiery riffs or stadium-sized hooks of the band’s heyday.
