In the 80s I was into U2, Queen and disliked all those hair bands very much (actually I didn't listen to their music, I just disliked what their represented) and thought of Bon Jovi as one of the hair bands. So, I kind of judges them without listening to them only because their image scared me. Then in 92 I was given KTF and loved it. Then I got all Bon Jovi records and was blown away.

I still don't like most of the hair bands (although now I understand that it's not right to judge music styles, we should judge artists). With Bon Jovi it's a different story. I just LOVE them I don't think of Bon Jovi as a hair band anymore though. Just a classic r'n'r band.
