I actually went for Crossroad for the opposite reason. A lot of people are gonna feel cheated with a ballad free Best Of. I do like the tracklist for Tokyo Road though

Keep On Rockin'

I voted for Crossroad.

I prefer the rock songs but I also like to hear a ballad once in a while.

Tokyo Road is good but no Wanted? no LYHOM?
I understand Wanted is not on it since it's a pretty rocking album but Lay your hands on me should have been on there.

I voted for Tokyo Road.

Sure LYHOM is missing but there other great songs on it, wich beat all the ballads left out, e.g. Tokyo Road, Wild in the streets, Hey god, blood on blood, BTBMB.

I would go Tokyo road - 'cos I have been listening to Crossroad for the last 7 years or so. Although I would miss the ballds (Nothing like a good power ballad to break up the heavy songs) - Always & Bed of Roses should be swapped for Sleep when I'm dead & ......... Dunno.

That's tough.. I love both of them for different reasons. Overall I think I like Tokyo Road more, but I do miss the ballads.

I guess the perfect thing would be an album with ALL the songs from both

I don't consider Tokyo Road an album. It's not in the Bonjovi.com discography.



I do prefer Cross Road... though I still like Tokyo Road.

Tokyo Road is a Bon Jovi album. It came out last year in Japan instead of the OWN-album. It is a real, official and legal Bon Jovi album published by Mercury Japan. It is as much a BJ-album as Slippery when wet and all the others.

The Discographie on BJ.com is the one for America. In a Discographie of Japan you'll find Tokyo Road therefore no OWN.
