I don't think you give them enough credit. My wife is a MAJOR Bon Jovi fan, and I've heard "Crush" more times than I can possibly count. Thing is, though, nearly every song on that CD is of high quality. And they're all catchy. I randomly get songs from that CD stuck in my head for no reason, other than they're catchy & memorable. "Bounce" wasn't quite as good, but rocked out nicely. "Have a Nice Day" they started to lose me a bit - less memorable overall. But if they could do a more "Crush" type of record in terms of songwriting, they'd have another winner.
