To be honest, I'd lost interest in Bon Jovi well before 'These Days'. Since 'New Jersey', they've really struggled to be consistant and release anything worthwhile.

[Grey]

I like "Who Says You Can't Go Home", but this is pretty much my impression of Bon Jovi nowadays:

Agreed 100%

[JamesEagle]

Would not liking Bon Jovi be a hanging offence around here...?

 

Just wondering.

 

[Mullethead]

Maybe if pulling on my pork gets boring I will attempt to find ten songs I like after These Days...

[The Rocker]

Would not liking Bon Jovi be a hanging offence around here...?

 

Just wondering.

 

To each their own.

[Rockposer]

They've done one half decent song since New Jersey and that was Dry County. Apart from that they've become a corporate waste of space.

2: Everyday

3: Have a nice day

4: When we were beautiful

5: One wild night (original)

6: Til we aint strangers anymore

7: Bounce

11: Just older

12: Undivided

13: Who says you cant go home

14: No apologies

15: Superman tonight

[Captain Howdy]

So many others I would like to have included, but there was just too many to do 15 tracks.

I could probably change my mind any minute and swap some of those songs out.

[66 mustang]

Bon Jovi put a real fan treat in its "100,000,000 Million Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong." The demo for "Livin' on a Prayer" is hidden at the end of disc four of the box set.

[gener8tr]

On your original list, Mustang, there are only three that I would consider anywhere near classic Bon Jovi cuts.

 

I've made mention countless times here before that save for a track here and there, most everything post KTF disinterests me... but that's just my opinion. Those 1984 - 1989 days are certainly in the band's rearview mirror. Sucks for me, as I really loved those dudes back then.
