Would This Have Made For a Good Album?
 

Since 2007 we've had 3 studio albums and a GH (5 new songs including TIOH).

If we got 1 release within those 5 years, would the following below have made a great album?

What would you include / exclude?

1 (You Want To) Make a Memory
2 Any Other Day
3 Beautiful World
4 Because We Can
5 Brokenpromiseland
6 I’m With You
7 Love's the Only Rule
8 Room at the End of the World
9 Superman Tonight
10 The More Things Change
11 We Got It Going On
12 We Weren't Born to Follow
13 What About Now
14 When We Were Beautiful

I _loathe_ The More Things Change.

Otherwise, I pretty much like all of these songs. Not all my favourites are present, but still, this is a solid track listing. Not sure about the flow of that record, but song-wise, this is good.

Well, I wouldn't delete the other albums in order to get this one, that's for sure. Then, I'd agree with alphavictim, on paper looks good, don't know about the flow.

I also like The More Things Change.

It wouldn't.
The opening and closing tracks are horrid. I'd exclude those.
I will also exclude #3, #5, #6 and #8.

There's been 3 studio albums since 2007 (LH, TC, WAN). Doubt if this would flow right to be a real album, but my Best Of that period would look like this in chronological order.

1. Lost Highway
2. (You Want To) Make A Memory
3. Whole Lot Of Leavin
4. Any Other Day
5. When We Were Beautiful
6. Love's The Only Rule
7. Fast Cars
8. The More Things Change
9. Because We Can
10. That's What The Water Made Me
11. What's Left Of Me

1. This is our house
2. Because we can
3. Lost highway
4. Superman tonight
5. I'm with you
6. What do you got
7. Thorn in my side
8. We got it going on
9. Any other day
10. Thick as thieves
11. That's what the water made me
12. Love's the only rule
13. (You want to) Make a memory

Bonus tracks:
1. When we were beautiful
2. Whole lot of leaving
3. What about now

EDIT: Surprised to see that many people is including WDYG and even more surprised I forgot it.

This seems like fun, I want to do this tomorrow, but opening with Memory would be such a snooze.

I mentioned in another thread that The Circle and WAN would have made quite the good album, even keeping all singles. Something like this:

1. BrokenPromiseLand (+8 bar extended intro)
2. We Weren't Born to Follow
3. I'm With You
4. Superman Tonight
5. That's What the Water Made Me
6. When We Were Beautiful
7. Because We Can
8. Thorn in My Side
9. Beautiful World
10. Thick as Thieves
11. What About Now
12. Love's the Only Rule

So, if I could add GH & LH songs and not adhere to my mandatory single rule, I suspect it'd look something like this:

1. BrokenPromiseLand (+8 bar extended intro)
2. We Weren't Born to Follow
3. I'm With You
4. Make a Memory
5. That's What the Water Made Me
6. When We Were Beautiful
7. Because We Can
8. Thorn in My Side
9. Thick as Thieves
10. Whole Lot of Leaving
11. Superman Tonight
12. Love's the Only Rule
**13. This is Love, This is Life
**14. Beautiful World
**15. Any Other Day

Where is This Is Love, This is Life?
Could be an instant hit.

No idea how well it flows, but on paper looks like a kickass album to me. Slightly dominated by Lost Highway, as it's one of my favorite Jovi albums ever. 14 songs:

Lost Highway
Because We Can (w/drum intro, perfectly replaces Summertime)
Superman Tonight
(You Want To) Make A Memory
Walk Like A Man
The More Things Change
Whole Lot Of Leavin'
Any Other Day
Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore
The Last Night
Happy Now
What's Left Of Me
Love's The Only Rule
The Fighter
