Default JBJ The Powerstation Years: Best To Worst
For those of you who have Jon Bon Jovi's Powerstation demos, what would you rank them?
For me, it's:

Awesome:
Who Said It Would Last Forever
Stringing A Line
More Than We Bargained For
Hollywood Dreams
No One Does It Like You
Don't Do That To Me Anymore (I just love this song)
Maybe Tomorrow

Good:
Open Your Heart
Don't Leave Me Tonight
All Talk, No Action
Don't Keep Me Wondering
Head Over Heels
What You Want
Talkin' In Your Sleep
Bobby's Girl
This Woman Is Dangerous

Fillers:
For You
Don't You Believe Him

Pure Poo:
Gimme Some Lovin' Charlene (WTH is this supposed to be?)

Your opinions / Ranks?

I know my brother has this album but I have never listened to it... I don't really think I'd find anything I love on it. Jon is pretty emabarrassed by it but if you like it good for you

The all request hour, the girl in the front row has just asked for Blood on Blood, ok, Merry Christmas young lady!" Amazing <3

I can't see why he would be embarrassed by his demos, they're not THAT bad.

I'd be more embarrassed for releasing This Left Feels Right IMHO.

he is embarassed because cheesy 80s music equals bad to him even if it was made in the 80s and people like it

this is the same guy who appears to be ashamed of the self-titled album and 7800 Fahrenheit

Jon is a perfectionist.. and i am sure he considers his old, old, old songs to not be up to his standards. I don't think Jon ever wanted those songs to be heard by the public. It was his cousin who owned the Power Station that actually released the album

Who Said it Would Last Forever?
Don't Leave Me Tonight
Open Your Heart
....and of course... Runaway
