Holy shit... just surprised the hell out of myself. I gave Bon Jovi the clean sweep. The first two are obvious, and although I think 'Pyromania' is a better album than 'Slippery...' the highlights of those discs... for me, the best BJ songs off 'Slippery...' are better than the best off 'Pyromania'. And same with 'Hysteria' vs. 'New Jersey'. Both classics, but 'New Jersey' definitely has the best songs, imo. And the last two are obvious too... but zomfg, did not expect a clean sweep.

What about Bounce Vs X

 

Ran out of questions for this poll, or I'd have done their entire discographies...

Why are you so surprised?? Its an absolute no brainer for me. Bon Jovi have been and always will be about 100 light years ahead of Def Leppard........I doubt a single DL song would make my BJ top 10 or even 15!

 

Albums like s/t, New Jersey, Keep The Faith, Slippery are some of THE best rock albums ever recorded. They have had a few wobbles along the way, but those 4 are right up there.

I went BJ - S/T, Then DL - High N Dry (easily btw), DL - Pyromania, DL - Hysteria, BJ - Keep the faith (easily) & BJ - These days (underrated)

 

It was tough in the middle though...big fan of New Jersey but had to go with Hysteria.

The biggest shocker mate is Pyromania > Slippery :yikes:

I don't like "Pyromania" either. In fact, Bon Jovi win every round for me - with the exception of "New Jersey" versus "Hysteria". As much as I love "NJ", nothing really touches "Hysteria", but DL can't come close in the other contests....

Yeah that was the closest one for me, but 'Born To Be My Baby' & 'Wild Is The Wind' absolutely slaughter anything on 'Hysteria'

 

For me anyway.

And you forgot "Living In Sin". However, IMHO "Hysteria" has absolutely no filler. The standout tracks aren't as good as those on "NJ", but overall it's a pretty flawless listen from beginning to end....

Darn near what I'd choose...except I'd replace Have a Nice Day with Something For The Pain.

 

I went every other in the voting, starting with Bon Jovi for the debut

Bon Jovi - S/T - Easily the best of these two in every dept and still the best album Bon Jovi have ever done.

 

Def Leppard - High 'n' Dry - Kicks 7800 Fahrenheit's ass big time

 

Def Leppard - Pyromania - A bit of a closer call, but 'Pyro' is definitely the better disc and it's got 'Photograph' on it.

 

Def Leppard - Hysteria - Both good albums, but 'Hysteria' gets the vote for me, due to more consistency, even though it is way to over produced.

 

Bon Jovi - Keep The Faith - One of the Better Bon Jovi discs and better than the patchy 'Adrenalize'.

 

Bon Jovi - These Days - Songwise, this kills 'Slang' hands down.

Okay, who voted for Slang? :whistle:

 

I voted for Slang....as 'These Days' is just too light and fluffy for me....LOL After Keep the Faith, BJ lost the plot for me to some degree.....

    • This is the calendar I use: https://loudwire.com/2024-hard-rock-metal-album-release-calendar/ Covers all manner of hard rock and heavy metal releases. Upcoming releases are at the top, with past releases cycled to the bottom of the page each week.
    • I wanted to talk about this band, The Lost. This mourning I was driving in to work, flipping stations. I hit a few college stations, because their play lists are all over the place. And I love hearing young students miss pronounce Van Halen. Anyway, The Lost came on. I saw them on a Thursday night once at Club Bene in NJ. They would have like 8 bands on Thursdays and these guy stood out. Then like a year later, I see them on MTV. Then my buddy, who is a guitar tech, called me up and said do you wanna see the Lost, we’ll get in for free. I was like sure. Then he calls me back and says, they need some guitar strings and we have to go early and knock on the back door. It was cool, we all hung out and shot the shit before the show. The funny thing was, this was during the unplugged trend. And it was advertised as the Lost unplugged. All the local bands brought their stools and played unplugged. When the introduced the Lost, FULL ELECTRIC!  Cool as hell. Then I remember WNEW radio was goi g to have them play a free concert on the steps of city hall in NYC. So the played and hyped the band up until the concert. Then basically stopped playing them.  thanks for reading another long John story. More to come. Lol
    • I think about this often. The first two albums are amongst my favourite. 
    • Pretty sure there used to be one here that people would add to and repost as they saw fit. Anyone have a list of upcoming releases? Just saw that the Gun album was out, last I recall I posted saying I was looking forward to it, next thing I know it's been out for over a month. Don't wanna miss anything.
    • 4 out of 11 tracks is still quite a few. If it was one or two, yeah that would not be many, but four is 36% of the songs that were supposed to be on it.
    • "Listen to Your Heart" and "Love Prevails" by Biloxi  
    • I read somewhere once they got paid millions by the record company NOT to release the third album. Must have had a great contract. But seems like bad business from the company end whichever way you look at it.
    • Classic for me...loved it from the minute in was released and still to this day it gets constant spins
