Not necessarilly, with a band like Bon Jovi, not matter how "pop" they get, there's always going to be some rock edge to it. Take a song like "Missunderstood", that's about as pop as this band gets but it's still a very cool song. It's got very good lyrics that just about everybody can relate to in one way or another and it's got some very nice guitar work. For what it is, it's a terrific song.

Then you can take another style of song like "Saturday Night", that isn't all out rock like say "Keep The Faith" but it's heartfelt, meaningful and is a true rock song.

I would never want an album made up of 12 hard rock songs, the great thing about this band is how diverse they can be, you get a nice blend of songs. So, yes I can like a song that's not all-out-rock but given the choice I would always choose a rock song over a pop song, there are however many different types of rock songs.
