Bon Jovi Awards 2000 - 2009
 

A little idea I came up with based on the Jovitalk awards. It's been quite a decade for Bon Jovi, their most productive ever, and one that's definitely divided fan opinion. Therefore, I've come up with the following award categories:

Best studio album

Best compilation album

Best overall song (from which I'll also draw lists of the best rock songs and ballads)

Best B Side / Demo

Best DVD

Best music video

Best tour

Best individual show


Just reply with your lists for each category, and I'll tally your votes and sometime around the end of the year will post Jovitalk's overall list of the best of Bon Jovi in the 00s. Please make sure your lists are in order as much as possible, and try to keep your lists to a maximum of about 20 or so. Only votes for things from this decade will be counted. With regards to boxset songs and other b-sides, I'll take songs that were recorded from 1999 onwards; so any songs that were b-sides to any singles from Crush onwards, or the following boxset songs: Thief Of Hearts, Last Man Standing, Garageland, Maybe Someday, The One That Got Away, You Can Sleep When I Dream, Ordinary People, Sattelite, Memphis Lives In Me, Too Much Of A Good Thing, Kidnap An Angel, Breathe, and Temptation.

Happy voting! :D

Doesn't TLFR count as a studio album? They did do studio sessions on that one too. So I'd go with TLFR. If that counts as a compilation album, then I'd say Crush.
