20. Something to Believe In (These Days, 1995)
“This song is my anthem. Or one of them, anyway. Perfect song for someone like myself, who can’t get some glory for my talents. It makes me angry and sad at the same time if that makes sense.”
19. Someday I’ll Be Saturday Night (Cross Road, 1994)
“This gets me trough the entire week… amazing song, can’t stop listening to it! Cheers you up every time you are feeling low… Sounds feels great can’t stop listening..”
18. In These Arms (Keep the Faith, 1993)
“This is a masterpiece song by Bon Jovi, the guitar riffs and the vocals are amazing. Conveys a very powerful emotion! Maybe people that hear this song never stopped to hear with a open heart. It’s so amazing! Make we feel like we’re in love, crazy in love for somebody, even we’re not…”
17. Lost Highway (Lost Highway, 2007)
“Lost Highway’s a pretty good song. I don’t know about being inspirational (although it is that, too apparently.) Lost Highway is becoming my favorite song from the album”
16. Lay Your Hands on Me (New Jersey, 1988)
“This is an awesome song because it is SO easy to get. I downloaded a version and it has Jon talking in the beginning about ‘freeing your mind’ and I am trying to find a site that actually says that part as well, but anyway, the song is great because of the simpleness of it all! Lay your hands on me is pretty self-explanatory”
15. Never Say Goodbye (Slippery When Wet, 1986)
“I love this song. I’m hopelessly nostalgic. While this tune invokes fond memories of days gone by, it’s sad for the same reason. It’s about trying to hang on. Trying to make the moments last forever. But nothing lasts forever.”
14. Keep the Faith (Keep the Faith, 1992)
“There are few songs done by ANYONE that the melody and the lyrics come together to create such a cohesive explosion of emotion. It gets to the very core of who we are, the struggle to maintain good versus evil. EPIC.”
13. Dry County (Keep the Faith, 1992)
“This song has a bit of everything. The songs above this are deserved of tops spots but Dry County just has so much power and meaning from beginning to end. With the powerful lyrics, the meditative beginning, the awesome chorus, and the best guitar solo of all their songs, Dry County has a nostalgic punch for me that I can’t ignore. Best song from one of the best albums.”
12. Blaze of Glory (Blaze of Glory, 1990)
“Just read the lyrics of this song. Jon Bon Jovi has sung them with such vocals that they will blow you off. One of my all-time favorites. Love the feel of the song and the ‘devil may care attitude. Just love it.”
11. Born to Be My Baby (New Jersey, 1988)
“Miss the days of arena rock. Good song from a generation of great bands and music. Too bad we don’t have more like this today. Great lyrics…great music…love the acoustic version too.”
10. I’ll Be There for You (New Jersey, 1988)
“Sounds like an inverse Wild Is the Wind. Wild Is the Wind is about some guy who leaves his girlfriend/wife because he knows he’s not good enough for her; I’ll Be There for You is about the girlfriend/wife threatening to leave the boyfriend/husband, and his pleas and promises if she stays. Of course, the similarities end there, and aren’t even that strong, but still.”
9. Have a Nice Day (Have a Nice Day, 2005)
“The lyrics the level of rock and awesomeness of the song. It just makes this song awesome. Only real music fans appreciate songs like this. Fantastic song!”
8. Runaway (Bon Jovi, 1984)
“Runaway is one of my favorite Bon Jovi song. You have to love the keyboard and guitar solos. So much meaning to the song as well. All of their songs are good, but this one is the best.”
7. Bed of Roses (Keep the Faith, 1992)
“One of the best songs I have ever heard… I wish I could sing this song with that passion and emotion… It’s the best song…No other song I’ve ever heard can surpass this emotion…Hats off to Jovi…”

6. Bad Medicine (New Jersey, 1988)
“This song Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi seems to be a high energy classic rock song about wanting someone who is therapeutic in a person’s life despite the controversy they might bring-hence the bad medicine connotation.”
5. Always (Cross Road, 1994)
“Always is most definitely the most passionate, beautiful and powerful song of Bon Jovi’s. It is a definition of true love the lyrics are more meaningful than any song these days. If you listen to the chorus you can here how much meaning he has put into the song. It can relate to anyone in true love who would give up anything for that one special person.”
4. Wanted Dead or Alive (Slippery When Wet, 1986)
“Great song, instantly recognizable even in the background of countless T.V. shows or movies, a rock classic, great visual imagery, inspires new guitarists – just unmatched!”
3. You Give Love a Bad Name (Slippery When Wet, 1986)
“The most kick ass song of all time. When you hear it you just get that super psyched feeling rising up in your chest and you want to shout and dance and be awesome. I love everything by Bon Jovi but this is definitely the best.”
2. It’s My Life (Crush, 2000)
“This song is more for the people who don’t like classic rock, but still want the rock feel. It is a food song, I like new rock and classic rock, but if you like only new rock and you are sick of imagine dragons, go to this song. It’s a great song no matter what”
1. Livin’ on a Prayer (Rock Star, 2003)
“All of the songs in the world except Bon Jovi’s bores you after you listen to it a few times. Also, this song is awesome! Young, energetic Jon Bon Jovi with his high voice and Richie Sambora with his talkbox… What could be more awesome?! The end of this song proves that you are the best Jon! What a voice you have!t.”
