Default Bon Jovi 2009-2013

I think if Jon held back on releasing The Circle, and instead released a new album in 2012 (meshing The Circle and What About Now into one album) it would have worked out better.

The band would've had a 5 year break between Lost Highway and the new release, and it would have allowed them to release the Greatest Hits package to coincide with their 30 year anniversary this year.

If the best songs from each album we combined, it would be such a brilliant album. My choice of track list would be...

1. Because We Can
2. Pictures Of You
3. Superman Tonight
4. Thorn In My Side
5. What About Now
6. When We Were Beautiful
7. That's What The Water Made Me
8. Brokenpromiseland
9. We Weren't Born to Follow
10. I'm With You
11. Love's The Only Rule
12. Beautiful World

13. Into The Echo
14. Happy Now
15. Amen

Perhaps could replace one or two with Bullet and Learn To Love.

I do love both The Circle and What About Now, but I think this would have made a much stronger album. Then they could really promote the greatest hits as a "30th Year Anniversary" thing, with This Is Love This Is Life as the lead single, followed by No Apologies.

We Weren't Born To Follow and What About Now are pretty much the same song. No need to include both.

"Each song played was just another example of how ingenious these guys are at writing choruses that make you feel like there’s a big game tomorrow, that you’re the underdog, and that you’re going to win."

I wish it was 2008 again because there's nothing in the way of new music that the band has done which has interested me since 'Lost Highway'.

I don't know, I find the songs and production to be different on those records. I wouldn't melt them, I'd rather leave them this way.
