This is the result of a lengthy voting process organized by the Romanian HARD ROCK Magazine and website which tsarted a few months ago. Bon Jovi made it into the top 20 which was kind of surprizing cause BJ weren't really discussed in that magazine since THESE DAYS and BJ are not really a band with a shitload of fans like SEPULTURA here.

F*ckin great !!! Go Sepultura.......ops.....sorry....... GO BON JOVI.....

quite strange.

Bon jovi keep getting positions on lists that they definitely don't belong in!

definetly? For me bon jovi is DEFINETLY a HARD ROCK band and it seems that for a lot of people also so just try making your statements a little bit NOT so general.

Deep Purple as #1 though? Over Sabbath or even Zeppelin - I don't know about that. Good company to be on a list with though :)

Count me in that hard rock thing !
99 in the Shade !!!!!!!!

yeah.. and my name is Elvis Costello.

NJ is the best record ever made, but it's not hard rock.
some kind of metal yes... but not hard rock.

homebound train, perhaps, maybe.. but not 99 in the shade!!

C'mon 99 in the shade is hard since the first second of the song. The 80's hard rock as it is.

Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Thin Lizzy, Dream Theater, Megadeth and Slayer aren't exactly Hardrock as well. Nice selection though, even though I always found Black Sabbath to be overrated.
