Plenty contributions. They've been playing since 1978-1980 more or less!! It's a lot of time for a band to keep going throughout changes in music and styles. Some of their songs like: Living on a Prayer, You give love a bad name, Dead or alive and other have been very popular and recognize all over.

Bon Jovi, palms down.... it is not correct while you're youthful or previous, ordinary Bon Jovi's music is suited, those adult men have created various the suited rock anthems of the final 3 many years, they're huge and that they DO rock!!!!! Coldplay is stable and of direction, radio stations play its music persistently lower back... it rather is stable, yet i do unlike plenty Coldplay music, it is so comfortable, to me it is not rock, yet I understand they're very gifted, yet no longer as plenty using fact the adult men in Bon Jovi

They made hair-metal pretty. Before them everyone was wearing WAY too much make up. Jon also introduced that fringe jacket.
It's all about the song "I'll Be There For You." The second-most cheesy, sappy, get your lighter, hair ballad. I LOVE that song.
Cheers!

A sh*t-ton of great songs is a good contribution. Always is one of the best love songs ever made.

In my opinion they started the whole hair metal thing, but there must be something special about them that caused them to last through the 90's grunge exsplosion, but I just can't think of what that is.
