#98 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: "Bad Medicine" by Bon Jovi (1988)

Welcome back to VJ Samsonite's top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown! Today we are presenting #98 of the top 100 countdown! And the song is....Bad Medicine, by the Big-80's-Big-Hair U.S. Rock Band Bon Jovi! I must say that this song is probably my favourite one by Bon Jovi, but you never know, more Bon Jovi songs may or may not appear again on this Countdown, you'll just have to wait and see. There is no doubt that Bon Jovi had many great rock anthems, this much is for sure. Bon Jovi formed in 1983 in Sayreville, New Jersey, and of course the lead singer, song-writer, and actor is John Bon Jovi. Like #99, John Bon Jovi earned a few awards, including and Academy Award and a Golden Globe for his work. As for the rest of the band, there is guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, and bassist Hugh Mcdonald. This particular song comes off of their New Jersey album (released originally in September of 1988), which produced 5 Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles, which is the most top tens for a rock album to date (according to Wikipedia). What else to say??? Not much, but do be sure to check out Wikipedia or All Music for all your trivia needs on Bon Jovi, after all you might just win some beer or something at your local pub. Alas, without further ado, here is the song!
