Ugh! So hard to keep it at just 5! Are you sure you dont wanna open it to say 9 or 10?
I shall do my best...
Whole Lot of Leavin'
I love the lyrics to this. The production on it aint too shabby either. I love the guitar riff as well. I actually didn't like this track that much when LH came out. It wasn't until it was released as a single that I gave it any proper attention. Now it's my favourite post-2000 track. It's actually become my third favourite Jovi song ever, behind Prayer and In These Arms.
Have a Nice Day
Just an awesome track overall, up there with the the standards of old-school Jovi IMO. Probably the last worldwide hit as well from the band. Fun video clip and marketing too.
Superman Tonight
Was disappointed when the film clip came out and interpreted the song as literal heroes (ie firefighters and coppers), but still, I love this song. The chorus is punchy and I love the ending "woaahh-ohhh"s.
It's My Life
This song is great from start to end. I love that is was the "comeback" of the band and had the signature talkbox sound. A Jovi song through and through. The in-your-face starting to the song is great, which works so well live.
That's What the Water Made Me
It's a fun song! And I like the obscure title. The riff is one of the catchiest post-2000s track by the band. I feel like this is what current Jovi should sound like. It also works great live.
I feel like I've cheated by not including Into the Echo, Love's the Only Rule, Beautiful World, Undivided and We Don't Run, so they all get honourable mentions. If it was a top 10, they would be my 6-10 picks.
