Default A complete change of thoughts?

So...have you ever had a complete change of opinion on a particular Bon Jovi song? If I'm honest, I've only ever had two but I'm sure people will have had this at one point.

Always - I used to hate the song with a passion. I thought it was a rather boring ballad and often skipped it on CrossRoad and Live From London. However, one night listening to my MP3 player playing on the PlayStation, I left it on and it blew me away. Absolutely brilliant it was. It will still never be better than 'Bed Of Roses', though.

Wanted Dead Or Alive - I have never ever understood the fuss about it. I believe it's possbly Jon and Richie's favourite song, and I've seen a few people on this board say 'it is the best song ever' or 'best song on SWW/by the band', which I thought was insane. However, I have been listening to it recently(mainly live versions) and it is a brilliant song. Not only the lyrics, the solo...very under-rated I think. It's not long or particularly mind-blowing, but I think it's absolutely brilliant and I take back everything bad I have said about this song in the past.

Too many to list really. Certainly thought Lost Highway was boring until I gave it a proper listen and realised that it has some great tracks. Didn't rate HAND until I listened and realised how addictive WSYCGH is.
Sadly, prayer becomes samey if you listen to it for the thousandth time.

My biggest opinion change was probably on these days. I thought it was depressing and crap but then one faithful day I heard something to believe in an considered the lyrics. They were incredible and began my love of the album.

Always - Used to hate it, now it's my favorite song ever.

Someday I'll Be Sat Night - Another song I hated, now I love the CR version and Boxset version.

For better...

- The whole of These Days except Something For The Pain and This Aint a Love song. When i first bought the album and listened to it, I was like "this has to be my least favourite Jovi album!". And it was for a while until one by one, I really got into each song. I think I was so put off by my first couple of listens that I never gave it another shot. But it was literally one by one that I began to LOVE each song. The only songs I dont like still are Letting You Go and All I Want Is Everything.
- Fear... didnt mind it at first, but LOVE it to death now.
- Dirty Little Secret... NO IDEA why it took me so long to love this song. Its definately top 20 Jovi songs!
- Undivided... only realised its awesomeness over the past month
- Wild Is The Wind.... dunno why I didnt like this song the first time I heard it!
- Save The World... never gave it much chance until I listened to it properly early this year. LOVE IT!

For worse...
- Seat Next To You... I still enjoy it but I rarely listen to it.
- I Love This Town... same as above

Only Lonley - The first time I heard it I thougt it was a really bad song. But after I heard a few more times I really enjoyed it.

These days - First it was a boring song but now I think it's one of their best songs ever made !

Something to Believe In. I used to think it's just a failed atempt to sound smart. Now I find it ok. Some of the lyrics are still moronic, but I got to appreciate the instrumental and the actual vocals more. Good tune.

other than that, i can't think of anything.

Captain Crash - I just could'nt get that one from the begining. It sounded so wrong. Now I think it's one really cool (cool, not best) track and is one of the best tracks on Crush.

Always - Really hated it in the start. It was sucha low tempo timekiller. Nowdyas I think it's sucha amzing piece of music and the lyrics is mindblowing !

Seems like 'Always' had the same effect on others, too.

Too many to list. Besides the absolute best stuff and the absolute worst stuff, my opinions on certain songs tend to shift somewhat often.

Oh yes, Capt Crash.

I only started to really really like it when I was home from school a few months ago and put my iPod in, and played it on the highest volume. Great song.
