Yes, this is yet another "I can't sleep"/"I'm bored" threads. I remember how disappointed I was when the Greatest Hits compilation came out, not only because it didn't had any Bounce song, but because it had songs from the albums that had been "compilated" in Crossroad.

I remember Jon saying in an interview that we wouldn't get Runaway or the old hits, that this compilation was supposed to be about the post-Crossroad albums, and that was a great idea, you have Crossroad for the first albums, and then "Crossroad Part II" for the another era. You put them together and had the Ultimate Greatest Hits collection.

So, let's imagine they released a Crossroad Part II. I went to the 2010 Bon Jovi charts on last.fm and I found out that the tracklist should have been something like this:

1. It's My Life
2. Have A Nice Day
3. We Weren't Born To Follow
4. Misunderstood
5. Thank You For Loving Me
6. Everyday
7. These Days
8. This Ain't A Love Song
9. Lost Highway
10. One Wild Night
11. Who Says You Can't Go Home
12. Superman Tonight
13. (You Want To) Make A Memory
14. Something For The Pain

In bold, songs that didn't made it into the original compilation. This tracklist is on popularity order, it should be arranged in a way the songs blend nicely. Also, we must add the two new songs: What Do You Got? and No Apologies.

Then I started thinking about variations. If the album were only of post-2000 era, the tracklist would have been like this:

1. It's My Life
2. Have A Nice Day
3. We Weren't Born To Follow
4. Misunderstood
5. Thank You For Loving Me
6. Everyday
7. Lost Highway
8. One Wild Night
9. Who Says You Can't Go Home
10. Superman Tonight
11. (You Want To) Make A Memory
12. Say It Isn't So
13. When We Were Beautiful
14. Welcome To Wherever You Are

In bold, songs that didn't made it into the original compilation. This tracklist is on popularity order, it should be arranged in a way the songs blend nicely. Also, we must add the two new songs: What Do You Got? and No Apologies.

And if they needed or wanted to do a Greatest Hits the way they did, according to last.fm, it should have been this way (popularity order + 2 new songs):

CD 1:

1. It's My Life
2. Livin' On A Prayer
3. You Give Love A Bad Name
4. Wanted Dead Or Alive
5. Always
6. Bed Of Roses
7. I'll Be There For You
8. Runaway
9. Have A Nice Day
10. Bad Medicine
11. Keep The Faith
12. We Weren't Born To Follow
13. Lay Your Hands On Me
14. Born To Be My Baby
15. What Do You Got
16. No Apologies

CD 2:

1. Misunderstood
2. Blaze Of Glory
3. Never Say Goodbye
4. Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
5. Thank You For Loving Me
6. In These Arms
7. Everyday
8. These Days
9. This Ain't A Love Song
10. Lost Highway
11. One Wild Night
12. Who Says You Can't Go Home
13. This Is Love This Is Life
14. The More Things Change

Also, in bold, songs that didn't made the original compilation.

That's all. Found it would be interesting to share it.
