Plus they are considered a "legendary band", like the Beatles and Pink Floyd (both bands have also reissued their back catalogue in recent years and have charted highly), unlike Bon Jovi who sadly aren't generally considered as such. Simply put, Bon Jovi just aren't quite in the same league as Zeppelin, Beatles or Floyd.
It's sad, but it's true.

I'm not really getting your overall point. Fans and Critics are two different things. Fans are buying these releases, not critics.
And as far as the Bon Jovi not being in the same league as the above, thats not sad at all. Those three bands have 15 to 20 years on them. We are talking mid to late 60s vrs mid 80s.
