Default What's Jon's best vocal album?

Hi guys!

What album do you think Jon sings best on? For me - it's between Blaze Of Glory, Keep The Faith, and These Days. I'm including all the Bon Jovi studio albums from 1984-1995 + Destination Everywhere on this poll.

For "other" that's for any votes for any 2000s era album. I won't vote personally on my own poll - but it would be cool to hear everybody else's take on this!

It's a toss up between KTF and TD. While TD is my #1 favorite album in every music category in music history, if splitting hairs I'm going with KTF as the absolute best album based on vocals alone. Songs like Believe, KTF, ITA, BOR, DC, Blame It On The Love Of R&R, Little Bit Of Soul, Save A Prayer, and Starting All Over Again just blows my mind...

It's definitely not my favorite but the Blaze soundtrack was Jon's vocal peak in power, emotion, range and overall tone. The vocals on that album are beyond amazing....

This.

I remember my first time listening to that album (while being already familiar with most of the band stuff) and on some songs thinking "wow, he could like THAT?" He sounded good on everything 1986-2000, but BOG was on another level.

From the band albums, I'd go with These Days. I always prefered the clean tone of Jon's voice vs. raspier (and perhaps more powerful) tone of SWW-NJ-KTF. I felt that he sang more clean in there than any other album, while obviously still having the range.

Keep The Faith. Blaze of Glory was amazing in terms of range and raspy/emotional vocals, but from a sheer technical and versatile point of view he was at his peak in the early/mid 90's. His vocals on some KTF tracks are just mindblowing.

The raspy "EVERYBODY KEEP THE FAITH!" alone puts that album over most of JBJ's other vocal work.

Hard choice, but I voted for Blaze of Glory. I could have voted for Destination Anywhere or Keep the Faith or These Days.

It's very hard to choose the best vocal album from the 80s and 90s because he gave his best on every single on of them. SWW has Prayer, NSG, Wanted...NJ has IBTFY, LIS, Homebound Train and Backdoor to Heaven which is just a demo but he gave us one of his best vocal performances with this one...Blaze of Glory has Santa fe, Blaze of Glory, Bang A Drum, TD has STBI, My Guitar, TAALS.

But Keep The Faith is the best one for me because it has the best vocals on all songs overall, I mean Keep The Faith, Dry County, BOR, Fear, ITA are all freaking amazing from a vocal stand point.
