Default Wildflower vs She's a Mystery
From what I can gather there's a fair bit of dislike for both songs but if you had to pick one to listen to, which would it be?

It'd be Wildflower for me, partly because HAND is one of my fav albums, but I think the lyrics are better too. I don't think I'd want to hear either of them live though, except maybe if it's an intimate acoustic thing.

Mystery Train

Seriously, both those songs suck. They're each the worst song on their respective album IMHO.

She's A Mystery is the only Jovi song that I seriously cannot stand. So Wildflower is better. It's not quite my least fave on HAND (I like it more than Complicated, but that doesn't really say much ) - it has that Postcards vibe to it which I love, but it's nowhere near as good.

I´d prefer Wildflower too. Not the best song Jon has ever written but it has sort of grown on me. By the time HAND was released I just simply skipped it every time. But I think it´s a decent Bon Jovi song after all. I love the part that starts with "yesterday´s a memory..."

Definately She's a Mystery, this is another song where I don't see why some people think it sucks. Love the song, great ballad.

Wildflower.

Once upon a time I couldn't stand either of them, both of them probably in my top 3 of 'Bon Jovi Songs I Hate With A Capital H' list, but recently Wildflower has grown on me a bit.

She's a Mystery is the single worst song I have heard by the band. Even Wildflower is better than it.

I agree... She's A Mystery is their worst ballad... Wildflower is an average song...

Wildflower... it's not their best song, but I can stand it and never skip (unlike She's a Mystery).

Wildflower is better just because She's A Mystery is the worst BJ song ever.
