 | Keep the Faith by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $4.05 The sound, the songs, the lyrics are all clicking big time. No skips on this one and it doesn't sound dated , even when you listen today (unlike SWW & NJ). Tico really shines here & John's Dry County get's him to Bruce status.

 | These Days by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $1.40 Another one that holds up well today. Excellent writing! They sound more like a rock band than the hair/metal band they were. This is kind of like Van Halen's Fair Warning; not a big radio hit album, but one that is SOLID

 | Bounce by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.01 After "KTF" & "TD" you can go back to the break out years or stay a little more current. I choose the current option and go with Bounce. Again, I prefer the rock sound of this one vs Crush. More RS guitar & Tico drums are a good thing. JB's 9/11 answer is more like Crush on steroids

 | Have a Nice Day by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $1.99 This is the one (despite the country overtone looming)where they really try to recapture more of the metal along with the rnr. Some real hard rock efforts here
|
 | Crush by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.80 This gets a lot of votes because of the 5 year hiatus. The boys try and introduce a new sound, but in doing so make it more of a pop offering. Crush would have been a better title for Bounce & vs versa.

 | Lost Highway by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.47 Not your father's Bon Jovi. Some good song writing, but the edge is gone. Calling this country is a bit extreme but calling it rock is an exaggeration. Let's hope this is nothing more than a slight deviation
|
 | New Jersey by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.99 All the aforementioned reflect what I call the second coming of Bon Jovi. These are now from the first era. Any of these next two can be on someone's Top 5 and in some cases Top 2, but let's be honest here, the sound is definitely dated. I still listen to NJ, it brings back great memories, but I find myself using the skip button.
|
 | Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.99 Yes, another classic and their break-through, but just like NJ, not all the songs work like they used to. We are talking over 20 years ago. This is NOT a bad thing. Bon Jovi is one of the few bands that have changed/matured with the times. This is what makes them relevant today vs the Motley Crue's of the world. Give them their due!

 | One Wild Night: Live 1985-2001 by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.19 An OK live offering. I prefer the studio stuff

Listmania!
