There are great songs on the Slippery When Wet album, the songs I listen to the most on this album are "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Wanted Dead or Alive", and "Livin' on a Prayer". I think these three songs are Bon Jovi's best songs.

Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer

"Livin' On A Prayer" has become a larger-than-life rock classic, a symbol of a decade and a multi-generational anthem. "Livin' On A Prayer" is Bon Jovi's crowning glory and biggest hit. A song as catchy as the most popular pop song, with as much punch as the metal-adjacent hard rock gaining popularity, bound together with a tale of working class everyday heroes. Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child, this song is truly amazing. No matter how many years pass, this song will never get old.

Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name

"You Give Love A Bad Name" was Bon Jovi's first number one hit and helped skyrocket them to rock superstardom. It topped many charts and helped the band officially launch their mainstream dominance. Even though it is a song that is almost 40 years old, I hear this song in many places and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. I think it's one of the best songs of all time.

Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive

In my opinion, Bon Jovi is undoubtedly one of the best rock bands, and the fact that even their songs from almost 40 years ago touch these years reveals that they are a legendary band. Thank you Bon Jovi for these great songs. Many of them will never get old.
