Well, why isn't anyone mentioning All About Loving you? I absolutely adore that song. Jon's high note before the solo is amazing, imo

Classic ballad would be Always...otherwise in the modern Jovi era I really dig I Will Drive You Home and Labor Of Love. I also adore Superman Tonight but not sure I consider it a ballad..it kind of is, and kind of isn't.

This.

I finally heard Jon's voice in there, too. Took me a while. But to me the song wouldn't be the same without the a capella ending - robotic or not. I love the way the music drops away bit by bit until it's just the heartbeat of the drum and the voices; then the drum stops leaving just the voices; and then the voices stop and it just kinda hangs in the air ... like he's literally just standing there, waiting.

Love's the Only Rule for me - Jon was at the top of his songwriting game when he wrote that. It's the last one that really wowed me live. I just liked it on the album - but live it was stunning.

And I haven't seen a show this tour yet - my first is April 1 so maybe one of the new songs will wow me.

The last great ballad Bon Jovi did was This Ain't A Love Song.

After that they wrote so many awfully good songs like: Stay, Thank You, Mystery Train, All About Loving You, Nothing, These Open Arms (HAND), Superman, I'll Drive You Home but none of them had the same impact as This Ain't A Love Song.

If you count the solo albums, there's It's Just Me, Staring At Your Window, In It For Love and Seven Years Gone.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about what you believe was the last great ballad
