Here's my top songs.
Have to say that this was way harder than I thought.
Really spells out what an amazing catalogue Bon Jovi have.

Also, there more recent albums have some great songs, just pale in comparison to the older stuff.

25. Bed Of Roses
24. Joey
23. Hearts Breaking Even
22. Keep The Faith
21. Only Lonely
20. Runaway
19. Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars

17. Always
16. Starting All Over Again
15. I’ll Be There For You

While I think the bulk of them would be off of Slippery and New Jersey, this is gonna be one long fucking list.

But let's be honest, very few people will pick anything off the last few releases .. ha ha.

Like Lepp I am not gonna pick a certain number of songs and will probably do in order of release rather as I would struggle doing them in order I like them, and only pick the ones I really really love, which is still gonna leave a lot of amazing songs off the list.

 

Runaway

She don't know me

In & out of love

Tokyo road

You give love a bad name

Livin' on a prayer

Wanted dead or alive

Social disease

Never say goodbye

Wild in the streets

Lay your hands on me

Bad medicine

Born to be my baby

Homebound train

Stick to your guns

I'll be there for you

Keep the faith

I'll sleep when I'm dead

In these arms

Bed of roses

Dry county

Always

Someday I'll be Saturday night

Hey god

This ain't a love song

These days

It's my life

One wild night

Everyday

Bounce

Good guys don't always wear white

Have a nice day

We were'nt born to follow

When we were beautiful

 

Despite Blaze of glory appearing on Best of albums, I have excluded that album as it is a solo album, otherwise this list would be even longer.

Breakout

I'll Be There For You

Wild Is The Wind

Livin On A Prayer

Lay Your Hands On Me

Born To Be My Baby

Thank You For Loving Me

Always

Bed Of Roses 

Only Lonely

Secret Dreams

Someday I'll Be Saturday Night

Keep The Faith

Not in order and it's 19

I wouldn't think of putting Blaze Of Glory cause that's like putting Father Time on here from Richie's Stranger In This Town. ✌️ Y'all enjoy your Ban Jouvi.

As with the Def Leppard thread, there are far too many to whittle down to ten. I love all of the first five albums. We all know and love the standards ('prayer, 'dead or alive etc), so I won't bother listing those. Always loved these tracks.

Runaway

Roulette 

Breakout

Hardest Part is the Night

Always Run to You

Let it Rock

Raise Your Hands

Wild is the Wind

Born to be my Baby

Woman in Love

Fear

Edge of a Broken Heart

So far I'm shocked at the lack of songs from the debut 

For me the debut was great, but they just got better.

I managed to squeeze in 2 from it, but only at #20 and #18

It's a Jon solo song done for the Elton John tribute album, Two rooms.

There are people who like the first LA Guns ST album and White Lion's Fight To Survive, both of which to me are pretty crappy.

But again, I do like Bon Jovi Self Titled a lot.

Jeez there's some random cuts in some of those lists. Ones that would not personally even make my top 200 Bon Jovi songs, in people's top 10, lol. Well, to each their own, they say.

My top 10 list would read like this (keep in mind, the next 20-30 would be close to or on par with these - so fret not about missed classics);

1. Shot Through the Heart  

2. Without Love

3. In These Arms

4. Edge Of A Broken Heart 

5. Breakout  

6. I Want You

7. Born To Be My Baby

8. Wild Is The Wind

9. Lie To Me

10. I’ll Be There For You

that's more like what I was thinking. but I would pick others off the debut ahead of Breakout & Lie to Me

all great tracks though. They were a driving force back in the day

Funnily enough, 'Breakout' surprises me too. I would have bet all three of my testicles that 'She don't know me,' 'Roulette' and maybe even 'Runaway' were better cuts, but when I listened to the album and laid down my numbers I came to realise that 'Breakout' is pure awesomeness. 

As for 'Lie to me,' just absolutely always loved that song. Such a well written tune with a superb lyric. Love it.

yeah don't get me wrong the whole. album is near perfection. 

That's why some of the other lists have me scratching my head a tad.

think I'll do a list similar to Def Leppard but only down to 9.0 - that will still be a lot though

She Don't Know Me is a cover - Google it 

Not in the strictest meaning. Yes another band recorded it first, but it was kinda a stock tune given to the band Fair Warning by their producer and was never actually released as the whole album was scrapped.

All tracks have been included for their historical importance, and to present a unique perspective into the beginnings of Tigertailz. DISC TWO Bezerk (1990) 1  Sick Sex 2  Love Bomb Baby 3  I Can Fight Dirty Too 4  Noise Level Critical 5  Heaven 6  Love Overload 7  Action City 8  Twist And Shake 9  Squeeze It Dry 10  Call Of The Wild Bonus Track 11  Cheap Talk (Kerrang Flexi Disc) DISC THREE Singles, Live & Rarities (1986-1991) 1  Shoot To Kill (Shoot To Kill EP) 2  She's Too Hot (Shoot To Kill EP) 3  Living Without You (Shoot To Kill EP) 4  Livin' Without You (Special Extended Remix) 5  Nine Livez (B-Side) 6  For A Few Dollarz More (B- Side) 7  For A Few Dollarz More (Live) 8  She'z Too Hot (Live) 9  Noise Level Critical (Radio Edit) 10  Murderess (B-Side) 11  Million Dollar Smile (B-Side) 12  Heaven (Radio Edit) 13  Creeping Death (B-Side) 14  Peace Sellz (But Who'z Buying) (B-Side) 15  Taking The Pain (Banzai!) 16  Taking The Pain (Radio Edit) FOR FANS OF: Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, Hanoi Rocks. Featuring their two Music For Nations albums, ‘Young And Crazy’ and ‘Bezerk’. Plus singles, rarities and live cuts. Forming in Cardiff in Wales in the mid-1980s, with Steevi Jaimz on vocals, Jay Pepper on lead guitar, Pepsi Tate on bass and Ace Finchum on drums Tigertailz recorded their snotty and street smart debut ‘Young And Crazy’ in 1987. Signing to influential heavy metal label, Music For Nations (Metallica, RATT), their first record is considered a classic of 1980s British glam and hair metal. As Wales’s answer to Mötley Crüe, through songs such as ‘Shoot To Kill’ and ‘Livin' Without You’, they found fans in the pages of Kerrang! and Sounds, the most influential rock and metal magazines of the time. The band found commercial success with the more radio friendly and commercially orientated ‘Bezerk’ in 1990, propelled into the Top 40 album charts by the single ‘Heaven’, plus the bubblegum classic ‘Love Bomb Baby’, a song that has become their calling card. Produced by Chris Tsangarides, the main change in the band for ‘Bezerk’ was Kim Hooker replacing original singer Steevi Jaimz on vocals. No slouches when it came to releasing singles and EPs, CD3 of this three disc set is a treasure trove of rarities and non-album cuts, kicking off with the ‘Shoot To Kill' EP, plus live versions of ‘Nine Livez’ and ‘She'z Too Hot’. Jump to December 2022 and a new dawn arose for Tigertailz, including a shows with Steel Panther, plus brand new singles. ‘Love Bomb Baby’ reignited interest in the band when it was used by famed Hollywood director James Gunn in his Peacemaker TV series for HBO. The band continues to show their diversity with their latest releases in 2024, ‘A Little Bit Of Rock’, proving there's more than just hairspray and eyeliner to these Welsh maniacs!
    • I have submitted all three albums anyway. The debut really is just modern rock. The second album I feel is the heaviest but still melodic enough. The third album though I think is the perfect middle ground.
