I am Ukrainian but I was born in raised in the Soviet Union (Ukraine used to be a part of it those days) and my very first encounter with Bon Jovi happened in 1989. I had never heard about them until then - you know KGB, evil empire, iron curtain and what have you - but in 1989 so called "Moscow Peace Festival" happened with several big artists participating, so the Soviet TV started showing some music videos of those bands. I still remember as if it was yesterday when I saw "You Give Love a Bad Name" for the very first time - it was a blow on the head so to speak, one of those rare blows which make life worth living. Later the "New Jersey" album was released on vinyl in the USSR, and I was listening to it every day. Good to see "Bounce" to be ranked so high - what a magnificent album it is!
I'm with you on that one - a very good album, from start to finish. Frankly speaking I am not a big fan of the movie, particularly of Jon's acting, but the album has grown on me.
You praised/highlighted almost every song on the Slippery When Wet album and even mentioned a track that could have been a hit single if it was released (Without Love)...yet it was rated outside your top 3 and below Lost Highway!
Bro didn’t even MENTION Santa Fe or I’ll Be There For You, two of the all time greats. 100% agree regarding Without Love too. Always felt that way about it, and thought the same thing about Hearts Breaking Even and I Want You too. Top 10: These Days Keep The Faith Slippery When Wet Blaze Of Glory New Jersey Lost Highway This House Is Not For Sale Bounce Crush 2020
Those are great songs though I'm a little burnt out on I'll Be There For You. I can agree with you on Hearts Breaking Even, I Want You has some great moments too
I'm a Bon Jovi fan from the olden days, got into them as a teen in 1985 so my ranking of the original studio albums will reflect that... well, for one I haven't even regularly listened to the last four records so only going to include the ones I am familiar/somewhat familiar with: Have A Nice Day (only the title track does something for me) The Circle (a few pretty good songs) Lost Highway (a couple of songs I really like, for example You Wanna Make a Memory and Whole Lotta Leaving) Crush (several great songs and I love Two Storey Town!) Bounce (this has really grown on me over the years, it's mostly enjoyable from start to finish with a couple of duds. The production should be better!) self-titled (a great debut album, still love tracks like Roulette, Shot Through the Heart, Love Lies and Burning for Love - oh yeah, and Runaway was the first song I ever heard from the band in November 1985. It came on the radio.) 'Fahrenheit' (my first Bon Jovi record on February 6, 1986. Listened to the A Side at the record store and on the strength of songs like Only Lonely and Price of Love purchased the cassette a couple of days later. Had already heard The Hardest Part Is the Night earlier...) Keep The Faith (my die-hard fandom had, well, died after 1990 when they almost broke up and there seemed to be a rift in the band but a decade later I rekindled my love for the band thanks to the internet and it was only then that I got this record. A really strong A Side, the B Side is a bit iffy but still, a classic. Dry County!!) 'Slippery' (The planets aligned in our household; the record came out and a short month or so later we got cable channels, with lots of music videos and music related shows on inter-European channels like Sky Channel and Music Box. So I became a die-hard Jovi-girl thanks to seeing the videos for 'Bad Name' and 'Prayer' 😁 SWW is a record full of nostalgia for me, it always brings me back to the fall and winter of 1986 when the band suddenly became huuuuge. And I even like Social Disease!) New Jersey (come on, it's the other of the true classics, a magnificent feat to follow a monster like SWW with something EVEN better! A bit like Pink Floyd releasing Wish You Were Here after Dark Side Of The Moon... Everything feels more substantial on NJ and it's just killer from start to finish, an epic journey into the heart of this band....) These Days (the only record that can stand side-by-side with 'Jersey' as the other classic album, and it being so different is a great thing. The title track is possibly my favorite song by the band, along with Dry County and Born to Be My Baby. Hard Letting You Go is a gorgeous deep cut!) I also love Blaze Of Glory and Stranger In This Town, less so the follow-up solo records... Thanks for making a BJ ranking video, it was fun to watch!
Dude, you are so right, these days Should have been a double album. The outtakes from These Days are amazing. Infact you should rate the outtakes from These Days.
Yeah for all of the album ratings you should always include the bonus/ out-take songs. For instance one of my favorite songs off have a nice day is “Dirty little secrets” and off crush it’s “Neurotica” another killer song that should never have been left off crush.
@bill-hc4vh into the echo might be my favorite song on What About Now... but yeah almost every album has an outtake or bonus track that should have been included
The power station years shouldn’t really count as an album. What about now should be at the very bottom and how did the debut end up at 19??? That was an excellent record.
Silly list. Forever better than the mighty Sambora & the shitloead of Crush Nr. 1. Boing, boing - it's my life - I'm a backstreet brother - boing boing 😂
Richie was an integral part of Bon Jovi for 30 years, Bon Jovi wouldn't be the band they are without him. That being said, Bon Jovi is still great without Richie. THINFS and Forever are great albums imo
Your know nothing about Bon Jovi they are the best band in the world 🌎 and me and my twin sister are 36 we got into Bonjovi when we were 10 our parents were and Are die hard fans they took us to our first concert when we were 10 and we are so happy they did they are still die hard fans and we are too , they have been to so many concerts and so have we , we bought everything from the forever album cds merch everything Bon Jovi forever btw have you seen their bio pic Thank you Goodnight l bet not this is my opinion and l totally disagree with you !

I love Every Word Was a Piece of My heart ❤️! 2020 would have been #23 for me.
I thought after Wanted it might be ok but it went downhill pretty quick lol
That's a good song, one of my favorites from DA

That concert is petty legendary (no pun intended), it's cool that you were introduced to Bon Jovi then! And yes I think Bounce is under appreciated!
I felt the same about destination anywhere for years but went back to it recently and it is much better than i remembered. I enjoy it now.
I'm with you on that one - a very good album, from start to finish. Frankly speaking I am not a big fan of the movie, particularly of Jon's acting, but the album has grown on me.
My top 5
5.Lost Highway
4.Bounce
3 keep the faith
2 Crush
1 Have a nice day
Glad to see you like the 2000s era albums as much as I do!
You praised/highlighted almost every song on the Slippery When Wet album and even mentioned a track that could have been a hit single if it was released (Without Love)...yet it was rated outside your top 3 and below Lost Highway!
I love way more than just Slippery
Bro didn’t even MENTION Santa Fe or I’ll Be There For You, two of the all time greats.
100% agree regarding Without Love too. Always felt that way about it, and thought the same thing about Hearts Breaking Even and I Want You too.
Top 10:
These Days
Keep The Faith

Blaze Of Glory
New Jersey

This House Is Not For Sale
Bounce
Crush
2020
Those are great songs though I'm a little burnt out on I'll Be There For You.
I can agree with you on Hearts Breaking Even, I Want You has some great moments too
Richie’s solo album is better than most of Bon Jovi collective records…. Father Time, Ballad of Youth, Stranger in this town…. It’s an amazing effort.
i think "these days" is pretty good
These Days is amazing

Thanks for making a BJ ranking video, it was fun to watch!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
In the middle of my first listen of the new album...
These Days I would rank at number 1 with keep the faith at a very close 2nd and New Jersey at 3rd, have a nice day at 4 and crush at 5.
Dude, you are so right, these days Should have been a double album. The outtakes from These Days are amazing. Infact you should rate the outtakes from These Days.
I might...I'm probably going to turn These Days into a double album
Yeah for all of the album ratings you should always include the bonus/ out-take songs. For instance one of my favorite songs off have a nice day is “Dirty little secrets” and off crush it’s “Neurotica” another killer song that should never have been left off crush.
Where do you hear the outtakes?
@bill-hc4vh into the echo might be my favorite song on What About Now... but yeah almost every album has an outtake or bonus track that should have been included
@brandyl2183 they are on CZcams if you search for them. Chris R has alot of them uploaded
Sante fe bro man
NO SLIPPERY WHEN WET ONLY WENT 12X PLATINUM
Bounce and Lost Highway over New Jersey....Jesus!
Wow. okay I do disagree with a lot of your rankings esp- stranger in this town, Blaze of glory- TWO OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER.
Both are great even if they are low!
What about the album z cross roads
I didn't include it because it's a greatest hits album.... the only reason I included TLFR is because all the songs had been rewritten
How New Jersey and these days ain’t in top 2 is beyond me! How does bounce rank higher? Shocking selection
I love Bounce, it was the released right As I was getting into the band's back catalog
@@themindseyecmh it’s a great album but not higher than New Jersey or these day/ keep the faith 😀
The power station years shouldn’t really count as an album. What about now should be at the very bottom and how did the debut end up at 19??? That was an excellent record.
I like them all except TLFR, DA, and 2020
Im the same with who would you die for. Never got yhe hype
What about now is terrible. Had it for a week and sold it
WHAT?? ?here is some absolute bangers on "What about now" like "Im with you" "Pictures of you"
What About Now dead last for me too
How dare you putting Richie Sambora music as a Bon Jovi album! Shame on you!!! Ritchie Sambora play solo Bon Jovi is a band, 2 different things
Silly list.
Forever better than the mighty Sambora & the shitloead of Crush Nr. 1.
Boing, boing - it's my life - I'm a backstreet brother - boing boing 😂
Dont bring up Sambora again!!!
Richie was an integral part of Bon Jovi for 30 years, Bon Jovi wouldn't be the band they are without him. That being said, Bon Jovi is still great without Richie. THINFS and Forever are great albums imo
Your know nothing about Bon Jovi they are the best band in the world 🌎 and me and my twin sister are 36 we got into Bonjovi when we were 10 our parents were and Are die hard fans they took us to our first concert when we were 10 and we are so happy they did they are still die hard fans and we are too , they have been to so many concerts and so have we , we bought everything from the forever album cds merch everything Bon Jovi forever btw have you seen their bio pic Thank you Goodnight l bet not this is my opinion and l totally disagree with you !
