Definitely. Keep The Faith was a big hit here. Plus it's, die hard or not, one of the true Bon Jovi classics and one of their best anthems ever. It belongs on disc one.

I'm finding it hard to believe that the band could pick 12 other songs that have been bigger hits worldwide.

Not always There are lots of albums available on Itunes where you can't buy singles You have to buy the whole album If i remember correctly 7800 and Bon Jovi Special Edition you could buy live songs only as albums the live songs were not available as singles
It all depends on the Record Co how they have arrangement with Itunes

They are not morons because it's a fcuking anthology.

Buy the 2-discs set if you want a decent tracklist.

It charted in the Billboard Hot 100.

No, you could buy them on itunes, which shocked me. 7800's sucked though. It was embarassing what they put on there.

But surely they want the average man on the street to buy the standard disc. Why will people do this if they have the majority of the songs already from the Crossroad album?!
Only die-hards will buy the 2 discs and that will be for the new songs.

Why, when they have ignored some of their best albums in KTF and These Days?

Ktf is one of their best songs ever. From a very important album (after the '80). Bj always play live this songs an his sounds is very actually. And what about these days? Their best album is out of their two Gh

Yes, and that's why there are more 80s than 90s songs in the single disc. That's what the casual audience will be looking for.

The two discs will include most of their hits, and it will sells as well or better than the single disc.

Acts like Springsteen, U2, Aerosmith, Kiss, Def Leppard, Journey, Van Halen, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, etc, have at least two Greatest Hits records and the people bought them.
Why do you think it will be a different story for Bon Jovi?

I think the average man on the street is still being targeted by the 2 disc. We already know it's being priced cheaply for a double set (less than $20 US) The single disc release is stupid to begin, but is targeted at the literal 1-2 song crowd.

Those albums must be represented too, no question about that (even though I don't think TD is their best album).
