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.

[PetraGirl86]

Here goes. . . 

She Don't Know Me

Roulette

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

It's My Life

Because We Can

Misunderstood 

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. 

[lettard]

That's their best album! 

[Darkstone]

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

[Kristian]

10. Put the boy back in Cowboy

9. Levon (actually don't know if this cover were done by the entire band, or just Jon himself)

8. Right side of Wrong

7. Little bit of Soul

6. Dry County

5. Wild is the Wind

4. Wanted Dead or Alive

3. Bad Medicin

2. Lay Your Hands on Me

1. Living on a Prayer

 

[Darkstone]

I'll add Prayer '94 to my list.

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.

for me it was unequalled.

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.

9. Put the boy back in Cowboy

8. Right side of Wrong

7. Little bit of Soul

6. Dry County

5. Wild is the Wind

4. Wanted Dead or Alive

3. Bad Medicin

1. Living on a Prayer

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 

[Glen]

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.
