solo albums.

I really like HAND and I`d rather listen to anything else than DA

SITT is brilliant, but that's the only record I think you can compare to the band stuff. Blaze never really appealed to me. Both DA and US are kind of "personal" records, mature or whatever you wanna call them. US feels really nice and "welcoming" and DA actually seems introspective, but you cannot compare the songs on these records to the fist-pumping anthems people wanna hear live. It'd just feel odd and out of place, no matter how good the songs themselves might be.

For me Richie's albums beat everything post These Days and certainly beat HAND with ease especially Stranger In This Town. Have Blaze Of Glory but still need to give it more listens.

I don't compare solo albums with BJ-albums. Someone can't. There are times I rather listen to Stranger or US than to any BJ-album but this is just normal. Just like there are time I rather listen to Bruce Springsteen than to BJ.

I like Blaze and Destination more than HAND, but I'll take HAND over SITT anyday. I'd take This Left Feels Right over Undiscovered Soul.

You must REAAAALLLYYYY, but I mean RRREEEEAAAAAAAALLLYYY^YYYYYYYYY HATE Richie's solo stuff.

I have to ask, do you even like richie at all?? I mean TLFR.. that's is low...

she hates the fact that he can still sing hence the reason she calls him whiny.

Still? That implies he could sing in the first place.

I don't like Richie's voice. I never have. So, why are people jumping on those who don't like Destination Anywhere? Oh, it's because it's okay to not like Jon's stuff around here, but you can't dislike allmighty god-like Sambora? Well, screw that. I didn't like Richie's voice long before I ever came to Dry County. At least I buy his CDs which is more than most Bon Jovi fans do. I support the idea of him making solo music. I just don't care for his singing style.

HAND is actually a good CD IMO. And if you can use deductive reasoning, you'd see I like SITT better than TLFR.

calm! nobody was being serious! at the end of the day, frontmen get the makority of praise on the whole and hence get the majority of the flack directed towards them aswell.
