Default Best and Worst

Hey everyone,
I'm just wondering what everyone's Fav BJ song is, and what their least Fav is (and why of course)

I would have to give my fav to livin' on a prayer (coz its easily there biggest hit, and I never get sick of it),

My worst goes to Hey God (without a doubt), I can't believe that BJ would write a song where someone is blaming all of their personal problems on God!!!

Livin' on a Prayer, for the best. It just never fades away from me. Great lyrics, great clip, the song that everyone knows (even non bj fans), it is easily there best song.

Diamond Ring would be my least favourite for my worst, i just do not have time to listen to it at the tail end of These Days. It sends me to sleep.

I can't answer fav song, it changes.

My least fav are This ain't a love song and Stay followed by Always but the first two ones are really horrible for me. The reason is Jon's way to sing it. He sings them in a horrible kitschy and suffering way. I don't like it.

U aren't wrong.....I think that song is just about perfect....the only reason why I didn't mention it was b/c it hasn't been around for as long as livin' on a prayer.....but Undivided defenintly right up there standing right there with livin' on a prayer

That's not what Hey God is about though. It's about how some people get an easy life whilst others are living on the streets - the person in the song is not specifically blaming God but wants to know what is going on.

BTW, my fav song is In These Arms - the song that really got my into BJ fully.

My least fav is Temptation - a poor rip-off of House Of The Rising Sun for the paino part and a poor song overall.

I don't wanna go too deep in2 this.....but u have to ask yourself...is it our position to question this??
The "Harder" the life a person lives....means that they have got more challenges in it....which makes them physically and mentally stronger, than one who has an "Easy" life!!

I don't feel that its right that God is blamed or questioned about this

Also plz don't take this opinion personally......Its not intended to be against you in any way...Its more directed at the song "Hey God"

That's ok - nothing personal about it. I can't defend the song too much as it's not mine, the above bit I wrote was something that Richie said about the song when it was released.
