According to your link here.... If we stop at Crush, Desmond only co-wrote 7 "major hits" with Jon and Richie and I question a few of these as "major" hits but yet my list, that stopped around Crush, included 12 songs that were written with just Jon and Richie.

But to be honest, this is old news to me so unless you find some earth shattering article that discredits any of this, you are just coming off like a novice Bon Jovi fan to me. Sorry dude! Happy Holidays!

"You Give Love a Bad Name"
"Livin' on a Prayer"
"Bad Medicine"
"Born to Be My Baby"
"Keep the Faith"
"Something for the Pain"
"This Ain't a Love Song"

Just wanted to chip in that Rdkopper is wrong as always.

About what?

If I said you were a cock, would that be wrong?

I must admit Max Martin is impressive

He is the best at what he does.

What would happen if he co-wrote and produced the next Bon Jovi "comeback" single? It would be intriguing if he could get a hit out of them. I'm not talking Billboard no. 1 hit, but perhaps something "biggest since IML" territory. He's definitely capable. Or is the band at a stage in their careers where no matter what they do, they aren't going to attract anyone outside of their fan base?

It'll be interesting to see what Avicii, the other Swedish hot hit-maker of the moment has done with Jon on his 2nd album to be released next year...
