I was wondering how you ended up with 15 albums

However, here's my list. I did it as quickly as last year and the order is slightly different. Well, if i did it next week it could still be different, so hard to compare so different albums.

13 These Days
12 Lost Highway
11 What About Now
10 The Circle
9 Keep the Faith
8 Bounce
7 New Jersey
6 Have a Nice Day
5 Crush
4 Slippery When Wet
3 Burning Bridges
2 Bon Jovi
1 7800 Fahrenheit

I have to say that there is a ton of very good, very interesting BJ material, that does not appear in any of those albums. In fact, were I to make a compilation of my best BJ songs, only about half of it would come from those albums. The rest is demos, B-sides, alternate takes (not TLFR of course), solo album stuff & so on.

Slippery & NJ rank below the first two simply coz I m bored of the hits, I can almost never intentionally replay them. And I do find the 7800 songs interesting, well performed and entertaining.

I "host" album rankings every 3 years. We did it in 2009, 2012 and 2015. I'll do it again in 2018. By then we'll well and truly have a feel for THINFS.

If you're curious, here was the 2015 thread;

Anyway! Here is my current ranking...

13. Slippery When Wet
12. Keep the Faith
11. New Jersey
10. These Days
09. Lost Highway
08. What About Now
07. Have a Nice Day
06. The Circle
05. Bounce
04. Crush
03. 7800 Fahrenheit
02. Bon Jovi
01. Burning Bridges

Tough call on whether to put Burning Bridges above or below BJ and 7800. And yes, I am a fan of WAN.

As for me:

13 - Keep The Faith
12 - These Days
11 - Bounce
10 - New Jersey
9 - Have A Nice Day
8 - Slippery When Wet
7 - Crush
6 - The Circle
5 - Burning Bridges
4 - 7800 Fahrenheit
3 - Lost Highway
2 - Bon Jovi
1 - What About Now

I think I was a little harsh on LH, to me I enjoy it about as much as 7800 - though they are wildly different albums. And I think that BB is a bunch better than either of those two. Realistically, I'd love THINFS to slot in between Crush and TC - or maybe even higher?

I´m a Fan since 1993, my first Show was in Vienna 93.. i´m a hardcore fan since 23 years now.. and i think "WAN" is a brilliant Album, i love every second on it..The Fighter, Water, BWC or I´m with you are masterpieces !!

Could be wrong, but I think people are missing an album somewhere on their list. Just for confirmation, is this studio albums only, or are we including live as well??
On basis of all "official" releases, but leaving out the 2 Greatest Hits albums, my selection is:

15 - Keep the Faith
14 - These Days
13 - New Jersey
12 - Slippery When Wet
11 - This Left Feels Right (doesn't count as GH due to all being new versions)
10 - Bounce
9 - Crush
8 - Have a Nice Day
7 - The Circle
6 - Lost Highway
5 - One Wild Night
4 - Burning Bridges
3 - What About Now
2 - Bon Jovi
1 - 7800 Farenheit
