Album Rankings - 2012
 

Last time we started doing Track Rankings was 2008, and the last time we did Album Rankings was 2009 - The Circle was just freshly released.

Thought it would be interesting to see as a board, how our tastes have changed over 3/4 years, if it has at all.

The 2009 Results looked like this...

01. New Jersey [300]
02. These Days [288]
03. Keep The Faith [280]
04. Slippery When Wet [249]
05. The Circle [198]
06. Have A Nice Day [132]
07. Crush [124]
08. 7800* Fahrenheit [122]
09. Bon Jovi [113]
10. Bounce [107]
11. Lost Highway [97]

For those of you who dont remember how it works or weren't around at the time, basically it's a point allocation system based on favourite to least favourite. There are 11 albums, so your faovourite get's 11 points and your least favourite gets 1 point.

If you believe an album is unworthy of points, then simply give it 0. Each set of points can be used once only and each set doesnt have to be used (i.e you can give 10 points to an album and 8 points to another album, while giving 9 points to no album).

At the end of a few days, all scores will be tallied and we can take a look at the results. Easy enough!

Ranking the albums is always tough. For me, there is a difference between ranking what is the best album vs what is my favorite. In comparing New Jersey vs Crush, for example, I think New Jersey is better but I like Crush more. In this case, it is about favorites. So if I was stuck on a deserted island, this would be the order of my Jovi albums wish list.

11 - Crush
10 - These Days
9 - New Jersey
8 - Slippery When Wet
7 - Keep the Faith
6 - Have a Nice Day
5 - Bounce
4 - Lost Highway
3 - The Circle
2 - 7800
1 - Bon Jovi

My revised points:

[11] These Days
[10] New Jersey
[9] Keep the Faith
[8] Slippery When Wet
[4] 7800* Fahrenheit
[3] Bon Jovi
[2] Bounce
[1] Crush
[0] Have a Nice Day
[0] Lost Highway
[0] The Circle

And yes, I've intentionally left the middle-points off.

Haha I dont quite get the logic behind that, but ok!

You can give zero points to as many albums as you want if you dont think they are worth giving points to. (Btw you missed 7 points - Im not sure if that was intentional or not).
