Same here. 1991 was a good year for Jovi fans to be born it seems.

I was, of course, born in 1991. Something just got right that year, didnt it?

I agree with many of the other younger people here. I prefer the older stuff any time but i still see the post 2000 albums as very good. I guess the music we grew up with makes us appreciate when Bon Jovi goes in that direction to. Where people don't agree with me is that i prefer Crush and Bounce over HAND, LH and The Circle but that's another story.

A question to the oldies like me - would you still have gotten into Bon Jovi if your first experience of Bon Jovi was one of the new Millenium albums?

It's a very hard question to answer, it's impossible to think of those newer albums without thinking of the older, better albums and having that cloud my judgement. The fact that I've hardly listened to those new Millenium albums in the last 10 years makes me think I'd maybe not have bothered getting their back catalogue and finding the 'good stuff'.

Maybe not on anything since Crush - but The Circle would certainly have made me a fan. WWBTF wouldn't have caught me though, so maybe I would never end up listening to it.

I first started listening them when I heard Have a Nice Day in 2005,and I was 13 then. So yes,with that song,later with album too,I discovered their back catalogue.Now my favourite albums are from 90's but The Circle is very high right now.But if I didn't know anything about Jovi until now and heard WWBTF on VH1 or something,I would just skip it.On the other hand,if I heard BrokenPromiseland or Superman,it would be a lot different

I would have, I did in fact.

But the reason I stayed a fan is because I soon discovered NJ, TD, KTF plus the solo stuff. If not for those albums I would have soon dropped the band, but this stuff has a certain classic timeless quality that allows me to go back to them again and again (which the new stuff never did).

I like everything, old and new. I would've been a fan, regardless of what era I got into them. *shrugs* There's some real jewels in the newer albums (definitely in 'the Circle') so, I still would've been a fan...although the older stuff did play a big part in my being a Bon Jovi fan and all. As did Richie's solo records. Bloody hell, this is a hard question to answer...
