Default Your favourite Bon Jovi 'pop' song..
Of course one can argue that a lot, if not most, of their tracks have clear pop elements, but I'm talking about pure cheesy pop-by-numbers here, and that they would not be out of place on today's pop radio stations.
These songs all post 2000 era fit the bill, clean and glossy production, minimal guitar solos, not at all rocky, pretty dumb but still catchy..

My vote probably goes to 'Say it isn't so'.. but I do also love the beach boys type bridge from 'One Last Cigarette''..

Misunderstood by far. I also don't mind Who Says... at all, at least the original version.

I like the lyrics to Say It Isn't So best so I voted for it. I don't *dislike* any of these songs in the poll, though they wouldn't all be among my favorites either.

"Mystery Train" is their best 'pop' song, but it's not listed.

I'm surprised All About Lovin' You isn't included. Well, that's my choice

If it was there I would have chose All About Loving You - really like that song (especially the acoustic version!) anyway, I'm going for Misunderstood!

Out of these listed, I'd definitely say Misunderstood, with Captain Crash a very close second. I don't think Who Says could be considered a pop song, though. It's still a rock song, just a different kind of rock.

Tough pick between One Last Cig and Say It Isn't So... I went with One Last Cigarette. Both great songs and both have an element of rock.
