A thousand times yes. There are some songs that are just never mentioned on this board, and this is one of them. If That's What It Takes is another obscure track that is criminally underrated IMO. It was nice to see it so high on this list.

Yeah 80s (up to mid 90s) Bon Jovi is everything to me.
The songs were amazing.
Ive left Keep The Faith off the top 20 but I can put it in there and swap one out - probably Outlaws of Love at a push. (Edit - Ive tweaked original post)
As everyone knows imo with the release of Crush the albums got patchy.

But man, those first 6 albums are just immense. Even the B-sides and unreleased tracks of that time are amazing.

Borderline always sounded half finished to me.

A few things from the comments:

1. He says Ringo Starr co wrote Naked. As far as I’m aware he didn’t.
2. I didn’t realise how much of a rip off of Stay Young that Captain Crash is. I suppose they’re getting Oasis back for ripping WDOA on Fade In Out.
3. Surprised to hear that Jon wrote very little of Runaway. I hadn’t heard the comments by George Karak before saying he basically had the song written before Jon got involved.
4. It’s all opinions but I enjoy NSG much more than Reunion. The lyrics are awful but it’s Bon Jovi are their brilliant cheesy best.

Fair play to the guy who did the list. He’ll have a certain bias like the rest of us but it was a fascinating read.
He's not saying Naked was written with Ringo Starr.

"This flirtatious rocker from Jon Bon Jovi's solo album urges the listener to “just get back to basics.” “Naked” was co-written by Mark Hudson, a frequent collaborator with Aerosmith and Ringo Starr, and features Aldo Nova on guitar."

Mark Hudson frequently collaborates with Aerosmith and Ringo Starr.
