I went for It's My Life. It's the song that made me a fan and it will always be a classic as far as I'm concerned. Yeah I agree that the talkbox was used too much on Bounce, and I think they tried to emmulate Crush with the singles they released. I.e. It's My Life = Everyday, Say Isn't So = Misunderstood, TYFLM = AALY. Those songs are so similar it's not true and its one of the reasons why I think Bounce wasn't as successful as Crush. They shoulda done something new with Bounce I think, rather than pretty much remake Crush. The song Bounce is ok, lyrcis are good, and the song structure is also pretty good, but I think it has too much of an artificial feel to it. Bon Jovi need to go back to playing Rock 'n' Roll with less effects on the new album I think.


Good topic, let's keep the faith!

It's My Life... For god sakes people... It's the anthem! That's what the song is known for! I look very highly on that song... It reminds me of so many people!

New Jersey was the same kind of copy of SWW and it was still a good record. Think about it, Let It Rock = LYHOM, YGLABN=BRx, LOAP=BTBMB, NSG=LIS...

Well good for you. Being an anthem doesn´t make a song good, does it. I think IML is a great song but I prefer AIWIE much more. And AIWIE sounds much better live than IML.

Yes it is a very good record. But sometimes the similareties are quite disturbing..

I see what you're saying but the similarities aren't so obvious in those two albums. NJ seems to have a much more mature feel to it in my opinion, where SWW, although great is a little cheesy.

None. I think they've used talkbox just for the sake of using it.

I like Bounce though the talkbox is kinda overused there indeed.

Definately IML. It's the song that made me listen to BJ. So I have to pay credit where it is due.
