Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3: 12 Songs That Must Be On Awesome Mix Vol. 3

5. Bon Jovi – Wanted Dead Or Alive (1986)

During the 1980s, many big-haired bands developed a heavier and grittier sound through their power ballads, with lyrics typically focused on themes of being an outlaw, drugs and women.

In keeping with the time, Bon Jovi released a minor-key ballad by way of Wanted Dead or Alive in 1986, which featured a noticeable change of pace from his preceding singles.

He might not be a lone outlaw roaming the prairies of the Old West, but Peter Quill is a space cowboy with a rag tag team of bandits-turned-heroes travelling through the galaxy on his “steel horse” (The Milano).
