I really love We Can Dance. It definitely should have made the album IMO.

I feel the exact same way about everything you said (liking the songs but don't want to mess with albums as they're pretty close to perfect)... except I really like the intro to Save a Prayer.

I love it too, but it doesn't fit in Bounce. Maybe if they reworked it... but the song is magical as is.

Agreed. Do not understand how this couldn't make it onto Lost Highway.

All the bonus tracks from Lost Highway are actually pretty good. Walk Like a Man, Put The Boy Back in the Cowboy and Lonely could have made the album way better.

Who ever said it was for These Days?

I think changing You Had Me at Hello for Lucky (albeit a rerecorded, more polished version) and Open All Night for We Can Dance makes Bounce a much better album.

I think it's the whole "Whole Lotta" lyric. They probably figured they needed to pick between this and Whole Lot of Leaving. And I think they made the right choice, but Lonely is hands down my favorite b-side from the LH era.

Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. I wanted to say "Bounce" . By the way, I don't like Lucky at all, and though I love We Can Dance, I also love You Had Me From Hello and Open All Night, so I wouldn't change anything from Bounce.

If Keep The Faith had this track-listing, it would probably jump over New Jersey as best all-around Bon Jovi album in my eyes.
1. I Believe
2. Keep The Faith
3. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
4. In These Arms
5. Bed Of Roses
6. The Radio Saved My Life Tonight
7. Dry County
8. Woman In Love
9. Blame It On The Love Of Rock And Roll
10. Miss Fourth Of July
11. Little Bit Of Soul
12. Starting All Over Again

I can understand the exclution of "I Want You", but "If I Was Your Mother" and "Fear" . In my humble opinion without these two KTF would be much weaker album.

I agree but would also include "I Want You". Looking back, the song may be a little weak but as a 18 year old kid in 1992, the song was perfect for my time.

4th of July is a really good song but it doesn't do it for me all around like the rest of the KTF album. Same with Starting All Over & esp Radio
