I'd personally rank SD and WIL higher than most around here. But hey, you and I will always agree on Save the World.
Oh I'm with you on not seeing a Richie bias per se but I think Tony admittedly has a post Crush bias lol! You know I love DA but I wouldn't rate Aug 7 in the top 100 either. I would have kept out all solo material or early years pre the formed band.

I can't see a Richie bias either. Lost Highway and most of What About Now is ranked pretty low as well.
And the fact that the last albums have been very bland in terms of the musical output / variety may be what has ranked most of the current tracks so low.
There had already been a notable decline in creativity during the last albums with Richie on board and after his departure, it's just gotten even worse.
Even though I admit to liking some new songs, it's rather middle-of-the-road pop that goes nowhere.

And Never Say Goodbye deserves to be up quite high, just for Richie's awesome guitar sound and Jon's passionate vocal delivery.

There are absolutely positively not 333 Bon Jovi songs better than Save the World.

Bounce at 309? wtf

You literally slammed Phil X for no reason a few posts above so I don't know if you can really be a good judge of bias.

I doubt he's alone in that. From what I've seen, most people would agree that the later albums, including the last couple of albums Richie was involved with, pale in comparison to those that came before. So I'm not sure that the low ranking of BB and THINFS songs can be blamed solely on a bias against "post-Richie material".

I know Tony worked hard on it, but the lack of objectivity toward the actual songs without regard to who played or wrote them is obvious.

Never Say Goodbye at 29 while Reunion at 263 is ridiculous. NSG is juvenile. Reunion is far superior.
To say that there is a Richie bias when so many JBJ solo tracks are included is ludicris. You just hate Never Say Goodbye because it's a song Richie wrote most of. It's a far superior song to Reunion, in my (and many others) opinion...

You're absolutely positively correct. There are only 332. Work for the Working Man should be 334 and Save the World 333.

I mean, as dumb as this list may seem, it's serving its purpose. No list like this ever makes 100% sense. Then it wouldn't get clicks.

It's just cheap bullshit for people like us to dissect.

Absolutely. I was thinking it's actually fun to debate the picks.

I think it's cool that they even included unreleased and PowerStation tracks...

There are still a few missing though like Beautiful Day... and a couple others...
