Has to be my least favorit of all Bon Jovis tracks !
Wow, youre like the first person to have ever agreed with me about Wanted! (dont get me wrong, I love the song, but there are so many other songs I like better).

Although I cant agree with Whole Lot Of Leavin.... that is by far my favourite track on Lost Highway and prob comes in around #9 in my top Jovi songs.

My least favourite Jovi tracks would have to be She's A Mystery, Novocaine, One Step Closer, Homebound Train and Misunderstood.

-I love all the songs from Lost Highway
-I think that Richie does IBTFY way better than Jon and I also like his version of Rosie more than the original NJ demo
-I loooove TYFLM and AALY
-Crush is one my all-time favorite albums (it's 3rd place in my list of fav BJ albums behind NJ and TD)...I like it rather more than SWW, actually.

Can't think of much else right now but there ya go XD

Seeing as you started the thread, I may as well give you a direct response.

02. Wanted Dead Or Alive is my 8th favourite track from SWW (only ahead of Social Disease and Let It Rock)
03. I love Thank You For Lovin Me just as much as I love Always.
04. Til We Aint Strangers Anymore.... love it
05. Runaway overated? Yes
06. Much prefer If I Was Your Mother and Fear over Keep The Faith
07. I enjoy Joey
08. In & Out Of Love... its alright... I guess.
09. I love Bad Medicine more than Blood on Blood
10. Have A Nice Day and Its My Life are both in my top 10 favourite Bon Jovi songs.
11. Hearts Breaking Even is my 4th favourite song from These Days.

Anyone else willing to share? Be nice!
1. Hey God is probably in my top 5 Jovi songs.
2. I voted for Wanted as the best SWW song.
3. Thank You is alright; if I'm listening to Crush I don't normally skip it.
4. I love Strangers!
5. I wasn't really aware of that many people really LOVING Runaway TBH, but it's probably my equal favourite from the first album (along with Get Ready which is no masterpiece but evokes particular memories for me).
6. I'd say I like If I Was Your Mother as much as I like Faith. Fear is alright but the chorus really grates me.
7. I enjoy Joey but I don't have any real hankering to hear it live, and Levon is a better song.
8. In & Out of Love isn't one of my faves from 7800 but I'd still wet myself if I got to hear it live.
9. Well, you wouldn't be the first whackjob I came across from Perth.
10. I love HAND and like IML (usually listen to at least one of them to pump me up for interviews and the like) but I doubt I'd have them anywhere near my top 10.
11. I love everything from These Days and after Hey God and Something to Believe In, I don't really rank them.

Anyway, my main "against the grain" views are probably:
1. loving Right Side of Wrong (best Bounce song for mine)
2. loving the whole HAND album (not that it couldn't have been better, e.g. add Dirty Little Secret and Nothing, subtract Complicated and I Am)
3. liking most of Lost Highway (although that might have something to do with Bon Jovi touring here for that album... and I always skip We Got It Going On and I Love This Town)

Ill agree with you on HAND and Lost Highway as well. Although I love We Got It Goin On and I Am. I dont mind I Love This Town but not as much as I use to.

I added that Bed Of Roses is much, much better than Always.

Agreed. In fact, my top 4 Jovi songs most of the time are Dry County, Something to Believe In, Hey God, and Roses.

- 'Joey' is the best song on Bounce.
- Blaze of Glory is the best solo album anyone in the band has released.
- I don't get the love for 'Something To Believe In' (it's not in my top 5 on These Days).
- Have A Nice Day is the most consistent album Bon Jovi has released this decade.
- 'Homebound Train' is overrated.
- Undiscovered Soul and Destination Anywhere are both pretty weak albums.

I would easily give up Faith and replace it with Mother. I would be so cool to hear it played live. At least they shouldn't play Faith so often... don't get no vibes nomore..
Joey is in my opinion one the best songs on Bounce...and don't say "it still doesn't make it good though".
And yes HBE might be my 4th favourite song fro´m TD...just after These Days, Lie To Me and Something to Believe in...
And also Whole Lotta Leavin is pretty bad. Heard it today in a empty supermarket, found it kinda spooky...and also could not stop laughing...

A couple of my thoughts:

- Personally I almost never listen to hey god.
- I think lost highway is average but when I listen to it there are a number of excellent songs it!
- I prefer the majority of songs on HAND to those on slippery.
- I like thank you for loving me, even if its cheesy.
- I like these days and runaway.
- I think wanted is a decent song but I'd rather listen to it's my life.
- I find something to believe in the most comforting song I've ever heard.
- 7800 was a good album
- I JUST prefer Always to Roses. Probably because always live took my breath away.
- Dry county is a masterpiece but I can't listen to it all the time.
- I like undivided, bounce and everyday and right side of wrong from bounce.
- Blaze of Glory is ok.
- New Jersey and specifically blood on blood is one of the best albums ever made.

Music in subjective so it's always interesting to hear what people think.
