Which 1986 Bon Jovi song became an anthem of 1980s rock?
Correct answer Livin’ on a Prayer
Fact
Did you know?
“Livin’ on a Prayer” is featured on Bon Jovi’s 1986 album “Slippery When Wet.” Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child, the song chronicles the economic struggles of a young couple, Tommy and Gina, who struggle to stay together. It is distinguished by its unifying chorus and by the use of a talk box by Richie Sambora, giving the guitar a vocal sound. The title became a great international success and one of the group's emblematic pieces. “Don’t Stop Believin’” on the other hand is a Journey song and has nothing to do with this question.
