Best song post 2000
 

I'm interested to know what posters here would say is the best song the band have done since Crush onwards. My reasons being that Bon Jovi get slated alot for their efforts since Crush. I agree with some of it, of course, but there have been moments of greatness and inspiration.

My choice without doubt is 'The Distance.' IMO it stands the test of time alongside a lot of the old classics. It's showcases great musicanship and songwriting and just sounds great. It's shame that it's not a live staple, I think it really deserves to be.

I'm not asking for a song that defines Bon Jovi post 2000 as I think the answer would be fairly obvious, just a song you would rate as the best :)

Gonna have to think about that for awhile - but off the top of my head the contenders would be:

Undivided
Have a Nice Day
One Wild Night
It's My Life
Whole Lot of Leavin" (some of Jon's best writing IMO)
Love's the Only Rule (also great writing)
Broken Promiseland
I'm With You

And I'm already noticing that these are some of the best tracks (IMO) from each record.

Top 15 Since 2000:

1. Say It Isn't So
2. Love's The Only Rule
3. Captain Crash And The Beauty Queen From Mars
