Have a Nice Day? Etc.

I hate topics like these because there are always 2 different ways of breaking this down. You have people sitting here in 2013 comparing these songs in current times. Bring me back to 1985 and play To The Fire then bring me back to 2002 and play Undivided, I would say To The Fire wins hands down!!!
Of course it's dated according to today’s music standards but back in 1985 it wasn't and that's how I remember it. Bon Jovi were still these mystery guys from NJ back then. The songs got Richie's metal guitar and Jon's signature scream at the very end which makes the whole thing for me. Go on YouTube and listen to the last 30 seconds. It's beyond brilliant and just classic Jon and classic Bon Jovi.
Saying this song sucks is like someone going up to a Beatles fan who lived through the 60's/70's and telling them that "I Me Mine" sucks because the song sounds dated in 2013.
BTY, A real Bon Jovi fan likes every song from the first 2 albums…. correction, first 4
