Jon Bon Jovi
We might get lambasted by many readers for not placing Jon Bon Jovi higher in our chart. But this is an exercise based not on popularity but, quite rightly, on vocal ability and in that respect our boy Jon must take a back seat.Sure, he has all the chutzpah, good looks and the get up and go to make him a star several times over but even his most dedicated fans must admit his range had always been, er, restricted. That was until Canadian producer Bruce Fairbairn fixed things with the colossal-selling "Slippery When Wet", a record that suddenly gave Jon a voice and hits. If Jon's upset by his low placing on this chart, he can dry his tears with a million dollar note.
Finest vocal moment
"Livin On A Prayer" (from Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet" 1986)
This is his eureka moment, the chorus demanded on extraordinary lift and Jon undeniably rose to the occasion, with aplomb.
