Your favourite Jovi track of the last era?
I tend to loosely categorise the Jovi albums into eras by pairs. It really does all match up...
BJ/7800 = Pre global success era, hard rock Slippery/Jersey = The peak of commercial success, glam rock Faith/These Days = The 90s, more mature rock Crush/Bounce = Pop/rock and the beginning of the greater post-2000 era HAND/Lost Highway = Pop/rock/country influences The Circle/What About Now = Return to pop/rock, last of Richie With all that said (whether you agree or not with the categorisation), I'm curious to know what is the most popular track of the last 5-6 years (The Circle/Greatest Hits/What About Now). Especially considering we are about to begin the next phase of this band. It's nice to reflect, whether it be good or bad. |
Great idea! I actually cant chose tho, my first thought was its not right how (I think) most of those choices were not played live more!

^ Agreed.
Honourable mentions go to That's What the Water Made Me, Beautiful World, Love's the Only Rule and Into The Echo (bite me), but my #1 song since 2009 has to be Superman Tonight. I really love this song. It's a shame that the film clip went in a more literal direction with the whole "hero" motif. Also, I'm just gonna put it out there that I think Pictures of You is highly under rated and Thorn In My Side is a little over rated (though I enjoyed it live). |
Voted for Superman Tonight, but I think that's up there with Pictures of You. Happy Now is also great.

Loved Happy Now and loved That's What the Water Made me. But (in my opinion) Love's the Only Rule is some of the best of Jon's writing. Both music and lyrics are superb (and yes I'm aware that Richie and Billy Falcon were co-writers).
|
Love's The Only Rule is my choice, too! To me not only one of the best songs in this decade but also one of their best of all time. Especially live...when they bring it down at the end with those gentle "ohh ohh ooohs" and going around again after some while, that's always one of those magic moments!

Brokenpromisedland and Thorn In My Side are also great |
Beautiful World and What's Left of Me. I do like Love's the Only Rule and Superman Tonight though.
|
1. What's Left Of Me
2. Love's The Only Rule 3. Superman Tonight 4. The More Things Change 5. Because We Can If 2015 was still a part of this era, then We Don't Run would probably take the no. 4 spot. |
Most of the songs you listed were in my top 10 at some point. I think I'm With You takes the winner spot, slightly edging out LTOR and Superman. What's Left of Me and WWWB were also some of my favourites during the past years.
