Negative. Those of you saying Bon Jovi must be pretty young. They were a big deal back in the day and certainly do not meet the standards set forth in the OP.

Styx is the greatest American band. They only caught a bad rap because most critics are cynical assholes

Kilroy was Here is so bad it's awesome. But overall they don't bother me even though I'll change the station if Come Sail Away comes on.

Shut your whore mouth, it is a visionary album. So visionary that we won't be able to appreciate it's prescience and brilliance for at least another 200 years

Never said it was, but look at the standards described in the OP. Bon Jovi does not fit those standards.

The 2010s will definitely be Florida Georgia Line

Maybe honorable mention, but the winner for current era Nickelback is definitely going to be imagine dragons.
