1. These Days
2. Keep The Faith
3. New Jersey
4. Slippery When Wet
5. Bon Jovi
6 & 7. Crush or This House Is Not For Sale (haven't decided yet)
8. Bounce
9. 7800° Fahrenheit
10. Have a Nice Day
11. The Circle
12. Lost Highway
13. What About Now

5 to 9 are the most difficult. If I ranked the albums considering the bonus tracks/demos both THINFS and Bounce would be right under the mighty 4, but it's not fair to compare a 10-track album with a 19-track one. So I'm going with the most widespread versions of all albums (meaning no obscure Japanese version or extremely rare b-side). Burning Bridges and the boxset get honorable mentions, they rank pretty high too

I actually used this http://tournamentscheduler.net/ to rank the albums. It uses a round-robin system where every album goes against every other album, and every win or draw counts for a certain number of points.

1. These Days (36 points)
2. Slippery When Wet (29 points)
3. New Jersey (29 points)
4. Keep the Faith (29 points)
5. This House is Not for Sale (22 points)
6. Have a Nice Day (22 points)
7. Lost Highway (18 points)
8. Crush (15 points)
9. The Circle (12 points)
10. Bounce (9 points)
11. 7800 Fahrenheit (6 points)
12. Bon Jovi (3 points)
13. What About Now (0 points lol)

There's a few draws in there so it basically ends up as

1. These Days (36 points)
2nd equal. Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, Keep the Faith (29 points)
5th equal. This House is Not For Sale, Have a Nice Day (22 points)
7. Lost Highway (18 points)
8. Crush (15 points)
9. The Circle (12 points)
10. Bounce (9 points)
11. 7800 Fahrenheit (6 points)
12. Bon Jovi (3 points)
13. What About Now (0 points lol)
