For me to like a song; They either have to have a good melody and all that.. Or good lyrics. I have a wide taste in music; I love anything from System of a Down to the Passion of the Christ Soundtrack! Of course, Bon Jovi is my favourite band. My favourite SONGS are Always and My Guitar Lies Bleeding in my Arms; The less rockish songs. I love these songs the most because of their lyrics. Their power, too. Power and Lyrics, to me, always make a magnificent song. Of course, all of Bon Jovi's rock songs are awesome too! But they don't mean as much to me, because the lyrics don't relate to me as much.

So in conclusion, I don't think a Bon Jovi song needs to rock or be loud to be good; Because for me lyrics mean as much to me as the sound does.
