30th Anniversary: 'Slippery When Wet'

Walk with us down memory lane…

The year is 1986, and with it comes the 1st induction of the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, Tom Cruise and Top Gun hit the big screen, ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ was first broadcast across the country, and Bon Jovi released ‘Slippery When Wet’.

(Let’s also take a minute to remember that hair! It was SO big, we had to crop some of it out of this photo!!)

‘Slippery When Wet’ was a smash hit for the band, selling over 120 million albums worldwide with hit singles “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and “Living on a Prayer,”  making Bon Jovi one of the biggest American rock bands of their time. 

For your listening pleasure, the top hits off the album:

Good luck not singing out loud! 

In the 30 years since the release of ‘Slippery When Wet’, the band has changed their sound (and their hair), but their popularity remains!
