I highlighted all the ones I like. You have very different taste to me! I LOVE Bells of Freedom, I think its a lovely song, very catchy. And WTWYA is an uplifting song.

Its pathectic. Im not a fan of Sleep While Im Dead either - but I like it live.
I was agreeing with Crushgen that BLAME is a better version of ISWID and that Love For Sale is a fun song.

While it's not their best song, I've always enjoyed Blame it on the Love.

I'm not surprised.

Bells Of Freedom is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. Even the title makes me gringe. Not to mention the fact that they rewrote TAALS, only worse.

Heres my personal album of stinkers, some are obscure, but they are all available to hear (not that you'd want to).

Album Tracks
1. Get Ready - Brilliantly boring opener to prepare for whats to come, get ready - this is gonna suck.
2. Welcome To Wherever You Are - Jons surefire big hit to inspire millions. Not.
3. Joey - A truly 'inspiring' song about Joey keys who was hopefully busted for tresspassing after he picked all those locks.
4. Silent Night - Enjoy as a young Jovi perform a bizzare eighties styled hymn.
5. All About Lovin' You - Simply put, the post-2000 Always, only difference is that Always is a good song.
6. Love for Sale - Listen as Jovi twang through 4 minutes of incomprehensible nonsense.
7. Only In My Dreams (Tico on vocals) - Sorry Tico fans, theres a reason Ticos a drummer not a singer.
8. I Love This Town - I hate this song. Jons nasally voice brings back memories of the bonjovi.com home page.
9. Save The World - Nothing can save this song from being unbearably slow, dreary and repetitive.
10. Everyday (TLFR Version) - Impressive to see a rocky track stripped of any power and given a makeover with an irritating clicky beat.
11. Diamond Ring - You're my everything? I think not.
12. We Weren't Born To Follow (Jason Nevins Dance Remix) - Bon Jovis foray into dance music? Please say it isn't true.

Bonus Tracks (If you dare)
13. R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas - How Jon had a musical career after this I have no idea.
14. The Ballad Of Alice Cooper (Demo) - Jon lovingly wrote this for Alice, the song mysteriously never made it past demo stage. I wonder why.
15. It's My Life (Reggae version) Whats a better way to finish an album of disasters than have Jon Bon Marley sing reggae?

As you can see, this carefully constructed playlist lacks any sensible order, contains a a great mixture of terrible mid tempo songs, awful ballads and dance nonsense. Truly a work of evil.

That's not a demo, it's not even Bon Jovi song. It was a joke Jon played in a radio show.

What!? Tico has a great voice and it's a nice alternative to the usual Bon Jovi work. Expect a letter from the Tico fanclub

One of the best songs off Crush

I think it was one of the better songs on TLFR. This version puts the songs message across better and sounds rich and textured.

You need to go to the Doctor, this is a brilliant track from a flawless album

Meh, if Jon wrote even as a joke it deserves it place.

I am utterly shocked on the lack of 80's songs appearing on these lists.

The majority of the first two albums are awful, and slippery has a couple of stinkers too.

The list of doom.

1. Summertime - what a load of old bollocks. This was something the band wrote in 30 seconds to fill the album up. Cheesy, fake and most of all heartless.

2. Welcome To Wherever You Are - So light and fluffy it could almost float away. This is a perfect example of post 2000 laziness, same old message with a backing track that evokes no emotion.

3. Joey - Bon Jovi does Elton John and Billy Joel. This rancid snooze fest was a lame attempt at story telling, Joey was some kid that did something...... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz crap story even crapper music, a track that typified Bounce's Achilles heel.

4. You Had Me From Hello - Bon Jovi rips off Clapton. A shameless copy of Clapton's classic Wonderful tonight with 0% of the charm.

5. I love this town - Wrote for the stadium, hated by the stadium. "I alwayssss knew that I liked this plaaace" That dreaded nasally opening line. Don't have it on too loud or the neighborhood dogs will turn rampant. Written solely for the live show, shame it didn't work.
