Europe or Bon Jovi?

Both bands are targeted at a more specific audience: females.

Europe are FAR superior, but I still do kinda like Bon Jovi.

Sold out? How exactly?

By getting Desmond Child to write their songs

I hope you're joking. Europe by a long shot. John Norum and Kee Marcello are both better guitarists, Joey Tempest can sing better and their songs rock just a bit more. Plus John Norum did an awesome cover of "Back On the Steets".

If I had to rank the top 5 albums by either band it would be:
1. Out of This World - Kee Marcello's playing is awesome!
2. The Final Countdown
3. Slippery When Wet
4. Prisoners In Paradise
5. New Jersey

I'm sure all the single guys didn't mind at the concerts.

Europe for me also

Yeah, and I always tended to target the females too.

Perhaps that's what caused me to like bands like this to begin with. So what? Whoop-tee-fukty-doo.

Maybe that's why all the guys (who like the girls at least), started to like music that the girls liked too.

I admit I have my thrash 'card' and am a thrasher right up there with the best of em. I probably own more thrash and death and black metal than most here do.

But I got to thinking at my young age that I always wanted to be where the girls were. Yep. Always did like the women. So I started listening to some of the music they liked. I enjoyed it! What do ya know? I even bought albums from Poison, Bon Jovi and Skid Row. I'm a fan to this day.

And ... no offense to you ZetaRetaculli, but I've probably had a lot more women then folks like you have as well.

Go listen to your 'only metal all the time' music. I'll take it all ... PLUS the good looking girls.

Europe by far. I'm not a Bon Jovi fan and never have though. I like all of Europe albums except for Prisoners In Paradise, as it was a bit too bluesy for me.

Out Of This World is a Melodic Hard Rock/AOR classic and a 10/10. Their first two are extremely well done traditional heavy metal albums as well. Countdown was a little pretentious, but has some good songs. Their last 3 are good modern hard rock albums, although perhaps not as consistent throughout as I'd have liked.

EUROPE their new stuff is far better than the BON JOVI Housewife music.

I would go with Bon Jovi too. They sold out as you said but their early stuff is good.

Bon Jovi sell out arenas to this day! Of course they sell out!!!

Europe is okay, Bon Jovi is one of my favorite bands of all time (even though their last three albums have been awful).

Bon Jovi is one of my faves too.

I even like their last three.

I think Crush is their last great album. Bounce was really good but it was a noticeable slip. I think what has followed has continued down that slippery when wet slope. The Circle seems to be well-received more or less, even from old school fans, but I disliked it just as much as the previous two. They all sound the same to me.

Out of their new albums, "Have a Nice Day" is actually my fave.

I like the song 'Last Man Standing'. Mainly for the start.
