Yeah, their earlier stuff was probably more classical rock, some of their later stuff became more poppy. I have heard lots of people insult the band so I wasn't sure whether they could be considered a guilty pleasure or not. I have heard some elitism regarding the band. Overall though I like their material.
I listened to the "Crossroads" album a lot as a boy. And here's a tale for you - the reason I slept through 9/11 is because I'd got up really early to go and buy a new Bon Jovi album, and when I came home I was still very tired. They must have released a new album around that time in Britain.
