This collection of smashes from Bon Jovi’s first quarter-century traces their evolution from scrappy Jersey rockers to arena headliners. Jon Bon Jovi’s rasp is tailor-made for stories of hard luck and harder love, such as the stirring anthem “Livin’ On a Prayer” and the tense “Runaway.” His partnership with guitarist Richie Sambora shines on the country-tinged “Wanted Dead or Alive.” And lighter-worthy ballads like the steadfast “I’ll Be There for You” and the sweeping “Always” show off the rock powerhouse’s sensitive (and synth-tinged) side.
