A few years ago either Any Other Day or Walk Like A Man would have taken the number one spot, but especially the latter one falls a bit flat on me these days. Still, I rate it higher than most of the album tracks. For me it's about their weakest record, an album I can only enjoy in a very special and rare mood. I quite like some of the lyrical content, as in Everybody's Broken or One Step Closer, but the songs are musically just too shallow. The only real standout song turned out to be Make A Memory for me, their best ballad in years, but ironically dreadful live.
The last 5 songs I basically always skip, awful stuff to me!

Probably more are considered over/underrated than aren't.

Probably Lost Highway is album with the most just amount right praise. For the most part, I don't think there is a lot of love or hate for the album. I think just about everyone agrees that it is okay. Not near as good as a Bon Jovi album should be, but it is not terrible either (or at least for the most part).

I never realized WLAM had so much praise. Personally, I agree with BJ... it doesn't belong on the album. Jon's voice sounds really good but the lyrics are too sappy for me.

But anyway, yes poll it if you can figure out how to narrow it down to just 10.

Best:
15.Any Other Day - my song nr#3 from Bon Jovi. Absolutely epic. Amazing lyrics, deep lyrically and musically. Great vocal and Richie solo. Perfect song.
14.Whole Lot Of A Leaving - One of the most beautilull and sad song. My song nr #5 from Bon Jovi. I am shocked how band beautifull said about their worst time of their live cancer, dead, divorces ecc. Absolutelly brilliant.

This 2 songs are for me absolutelly perfect and makes that i really like this record.

Great:

13.WGIGOn - I really like it. It's great and funny song better than others "funny" song like ISWIDead, BIOTLORNR, 99ITS, ecc. I prefer this song than all of tthem. Great riff, great solo, talk-box and this should be single from LHighway. It's very catchy rock song.

12.MAM - Very beautifull. Very different than any other BJ ballad and one of their best.

11.TLNight - I don't know whyI like this song so much. For me it's really nothing special, nothing spectacular ecc. This song is one from this that you think that you could record something like this without any problem. So nothing special but I really like it.

10.TWASAnymore - Why so many people hate it I don't know. For me it's one of their best balald and I prefer it more than BORoses, NSG and many others. Guitar, solos, vocal are really beautifull here.

09.OSCloser - It's very soft pop song. Another great track.

08.ILTT - Yes. It's another great and funny song. I like it more than Sleep or Blame. I know why so many people don't like it but I really love it.

07.Lonely - Yes this sould be on CD. Very deep song. I love this "drunk" solo and verses.

Good:
06.EBroken - I prefer Falcon version. It's another "nothing special" song which it's good to listen.

05. LHighawy - Great to listen when youu drive somwhere.

04.WLAMan - It's overrated?? Yes. I don't see reason why so many people love this song and hate songs like WGIGOn, TWASAnymore or ILTTown.

Ok.
03.Summertime - I don' love it. It's ok. But when I see sun outside my home and listen this song I know why so many people like it.

02.SNTYou - Nothing special for me.

Awful
00. PBBTCowboy - They should never record song like this. It's awful. If LH album sound like this song probably this could be 1 CD which I would never bought. It's really bad song, with probably their worst lyrics ever.
I don't listen it.

Album - It's Good form me. 2 song are absolutelly perfect and in my Top 5 BJ songs. Some songs are very good and very different from any others bj songs. .

A weak record with four songs which I rate between great and good. The rest is medicore or charakterless.
This is no country record, this is a lazy pop record which was recorded in Nashville.

Good place to quote Tom Petty:
"What they call country [music] today, are bad rock bands with a fiddle."
