“Bon Jovi” is the self-titled debut studio album by
American rock band Bon Jovi, released on January 21, 1984. Produced by Tony
Bongiovi and Lance Quinn, it is significant for being the only Bon Jovi album
in which a song ("She Don't Know Me") appears that was not written or
co-written by a member of the band. The album charted at No. 43 on the U.S.
Billboard 200.
Aside from the hit song "Runaway", songs from the album were rarely performed live after Bon Jovi released “Slippery When Wet” in 1986. However, on the band's 2010 Circle Tour, songs including "Roulette", "Shot Through The Heart" and "Get Ready" were performed. The album was ranked the 11th best rock album of 1984 by Kerrang! magazine. The song "Shot Through the Heart" should not be confused with the much better-known "You Give Love a Bad Name" from “Slippery When Wet”.
