7800º has more passion and rocking than all post2000 albums together. Alec John Such rules, with this album, he has already contributed more than Phil X.

Although I think the rankings are completely useless, the comments are somewhat interesting:

Burning Bridges was designed to finish the band’s longstanding contract with Universal. The label had originally planned a trio of releases in 2014 to celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary: The first was a deluxe edition of New Jersey which featured the infamous Sons of Beaches demos, the second was a vinyl set that was postponed and eventually released in 2017, and the last item was a live album. For a brief time period, the legendary Hammersmith Odeon concert from January 10, 1990 was being strongly considered for release, but it ultimately got nixed at the last minute. All of this was occurring at the same time as Jon Bon Jovi’s unsuccessful bid for the Buffalo Bills. Most fans would have traded every song released between 2007-17 for the Hammersmith show

I have to strongly disagree on this Becky. NSG is not among their best ballads IMO, but it can't not be compared with anything in THINFS. Just can't be.

I agree with the most part of the list. Although some I strongly disagree, It demanded a very hard work from the person who made it. I apreciated it.

I see that this will happen at any time, maybe 2020, which would be the 30th anniversary of this concert, I hope that if they release it, it will be in its entirety.

Davegodofkeys, it's not only about the chorus (Good chorus though)
They were "hit" by a writers block at the time they wrote My guitar bleedin in arms.

The song is about how they don't know what to write about, etc it seems like.
I can see thats probably the reason it was ranked low.

I know Tony worked hard on it, but the lack of objectivity toward the actual songs without regard to who played or wrote them is obvious.

What? ridiculous? haha, NSG is infinitely better song, Reunion is a lame song. Whatever its bias, you can not deny the great work and the mark that Richie left in the band. You simply have a problem with Richie.

That said, A Teardrop is a great song, and Jon puts it on a disposable album.

The only problem I see is that Reunion is ranked so far ahead of Bounce and BrokenPromiseLand.
You are not going to find many people who believe the vast majority of Burning Bridges and THINFS is better than the majority of what came before it. I don't see any bias.

It's a great list. We will all have differences in opinion about the ranking but the amount of effort and thus appreciation for this band is outstanding.

Tony himself admitted to a personal bias. It's human there is no way around it. I think as the list gets closer to the top there is less a divide on opinions as most tend to agree on the best of the best vs the worst of the worst lol!! I personally think Social Disease should be the bottom along with Woman In Love second to last.

I don't see it. Look at how much solo JBJ is in the top 50. I don't believe Aug 7 deserves to be in the top 100 (and it's #18!)... or even Every Word... and I like Every Word a lot.

I'd personally rank SD and WIL higher than most around here. But hey, you and I will always agree on Save the World.

WDOA in my opinion could be possibly a bit lower.
