Track Rankings 2012 - Lost Highway

Savvi, count in the Ones that DO WANT the bonus tracks to be counted. I guess we all here have all the bonus tracks and b-sides the band has released, so, if the point is to see which songs are best on each album then they should count for sure, as there are so many so good bonus tracks... anyway... this is my ranking:

THE AWESOME ones:

15) You Want To (Make A Memory) = One of their 2000 top 5 songs without a doubt, the live version sucks though

14) Walk Like A Man = It's such a shame it was released only in certain copies of the album, but it's something new in Bon Jovi's catalog, speaking like fathers,awesome, a brilliant adulthood song.

13) Any Other Day = The studio version is a very good song but the live version (with Richie's final solo) is perfect, I feel them alive again with this song, an incredible one

12) Whole Lot Of Leavin' = This one started to grow on me, first I didn't like it at all, now I love it, the riff guitar intro is breath-taking and the final whisper "I'll come back for you baby" is so emotional, a very good song, both studio and live.

THE GOOD ones:

11) Seat Next To You = That is a mature Bon Jovi, simply, yes but good, its vibe is so charming, I like it a lot

10) Till We Aint' Strangers Anymore = I really don't get why so much hate on this song! It's a good one! Everyone who has ever lived true love could relate to this one, a relationship is so complicated, and this one's about it. Not great but good, an special one.

09) Lonely = A Simple good song, sad, full of emotion, very real.

0 Put The Boy Back In Cowboy = This is rock country!! The lyrics might not be the best ones but the rhythim is just perfect, a new side of Bon Jovi, one of my most played.


THE OK songs:

07) Lost Highway = Good rhythim, works fine live!

06) The Last Night

05) Everybody's Broken

THE AWFUL and disgusting "songs":

02) I Love This Town = I need to be in the right mood to be able to hear it, otherwise I skip it.

01) We Got It Going One = I hate this one

00) Summertime = This one should have never made it to the album, not even a bonus track, maybe a B-Side but nothing more...

00) One Step Closer = This one should have never been writing... sucks...


* No 04 nor 03 points for me this time Savvi.

This is my favorite post 2000s album after Crush.

15. Any Other Day
14. Everybody's Broken
13. Lost Highway
12. (You Wanna) Make A Memory
11. Summertime
5. We Got It Goin' On

All the rest 0's.

Again, not counting bonus tracks - Ill rate the album, not the songs that weren't included in the international release.

Totally forgot about that one. Edited.

Walk Like a Man is quite possibly the most overrated song on Jovitalk.

15. (You Want To) Make a Memory
14. Lonely
13. Whole lot Of Leavin'
12. Any Other Day

2. We Got It Goin' On
1. Seat Next To You

Overall a very enjoyable album. Make a Memory is sucha a beuatiful ballad and it's kinda ironic that I have Lonely at the 2nd spot, cause they do sound pretty similar in terms of the acoustic guitar. But Lonely is also one of those I just can't understand didn't make the album. It's sucha sad and beuatiful song and it touches me deep down in my soul every time. Ask me in a week and MAM and Lonely may have switched place.
WLOL is sucha reat song and the opening acoustic guitar riff is spectaular. The lyrics is also very well written. Any Other Day live is amazing, especially the end. I love the lyrics in it and the guitar riff is so smart.
Can't get the hate for Summertime. It's a great fun pop song. It wasn't written to become another Something To Believe In. It's fun and catchy and that's it. Great hook and nice with a lot of harmonys from Richie. It's a great song to drink a beer to in the hot summer sun!
In the bottom We Got It Goin and Seat Next You are obvious. We Got It Goin' On is not funny anywhere. It cringes me everytime Jon and Richie tries to write a fun rock n roll song. Come on, that's not what Bon Jovis about. To write song about partying and drinking. Not anymore at least, it feels so imposed. And Seat Next To You is so boring. One of the worst Jovi tracks written without doubt.

It's hard to believe that he thought Lonely wasn't good enough to make the album. Unless someone talked him out of it.

To me it's not about if we've heard them or not. Bonus, by definition means they're EXTRA tracks. Whether or not we've all heard them is irrelevant. They're not part of the actual track-listing of the album, and shouldn't be counted as such IMO.

Disagree, anyway, it's Savvi's call.

The reason why I like it is because when the solo comes in you think - is that it? But it has amazing guitar playout.

Lyrically its been stolen from Bruce Springsteen and then the band tried to do this sort of song again with Live Before You Die and failed miserably.

Is it just me, or has almost every single song in the band's catalog at one point been named either the most overrated or the most underrated song ever? That could be a good poll idea, to find out what people truly thing the most over/underrated song is.
