I don't think Bon Jovi will remembered at all, well among the fans sure, but among people who aren't into them, I think not. Jovi's music is somewhat in from left ear-out from right kind of thing, nothing special about it. Though they write catchy tunes for sure, it still is quite similar to hundreds of other acts out there. I have to say though, surviving two decades in the music business is quite an achievement. Especially doing it by not following trends and changing ones style. They sure deserve the credit for keeping "real" music in the charts during times when charts have been filled with synth-crap. U may say that its not about charts, well it is. As much as I hate charts and putting bands to strict genres, charts still are vital to artists. If they didn't have chart succes with SWW they would have been long gone. As much as I keep posting negative things about them, I still admit that Jovi has done lots of good for rock music today. They did prove that there's still room in charts for catchy riff driven music that is played by real musicians instead of machines.


What comes to Nirvana, I always thought that Kurt Cocaine was and still is overrated. If Cobain would have stayed alive, I believe Nirvana would have faded away by now. With his death, they became a legend.
