Default Bon Jovi in Classic Rocks 100 top rock songs!

So i bought this months issue of Classic Rock and the main feature was the 100 top rock songs. I was expecting bon jovi to appear with either Livin' On A Prayer , Wanted Dead Or Alive or You Give Love A Bad Name , so i was reading through the list today (its not in a numbered ordered , it's just 100 songs voted for by the readers as the top rock songs)

And there was Bon Jovi's Entry for Blood On Blood! i was pretty suprised as i was expecting to see Prayer , or Wanted as i said earlier!

anyway i just thought i'd share this with you

Seems like a token gesture to me. Classic Rock have gone the same way of Kerrrang and completely wiped Bon Jovi from the magazine more or less.
Seems very strange to have Blood on Blood and not Prayer or Wanted. You woudl think the average reader of Classic Rock is unlikley to have heard BOB as it's an album track.

Surely a true classic rocker would have Slippery and New Jersey?

You have a point there as Bon Jovi were one of the biggest bands in the world when Slippery/NJ were kicking about.
