From the looks of this thread, most people here like/love Real Life. And I've seen a negative vibe about Crush on here. And since when does a song's popularity effect how good it is?
When did I say Crush singles were smash hits? I hope you have a very very good reason for putting words in other people's mouth.

You never did. I said they were hardly smash hits, because you appeared to be using them being more succesful than Real Life as something to back up your hate for the song.

I remember buying the single as soon as it was released. Iīve always loved the song even though it may sound a bit crafted. The influence of DC can be heard very clearly.

Anyway, for me, itīs classic Bon Jovi. If I remember correctly, the song was written by JB & DC, Richie wasnīt mentioned in the credits.

I really like it. The lyrics, though extremely cheesy, are really good. The songs alright, but i could have used a really good guitar solo. Overall, good song.

Yeppp it was written before the band got back together to write songs for Crush. I agree with hearing the DC involvment.

I really don't like the song. No idea why I just never liked it.

I had never heard it until the box set came out, but I do really like it. Definately one of their better post TD tracks, IMO.
