Default Great songs that don't get much attention

Some BJ songs are constantly praised and talked about, while some songs hardly get a mention despite being great. Therefore, I've decided to compile a list of songs that I like in a little segment I'd like to call "Not sh*t, but never a hit"

Roulette - Great song... possibly the best song on the debut!

Shot through the Heart - another great song.. Has a great solo IMO and a great ending.

Love Lies - Possibly their most underrated ballad. Sounds a bit like an early Def Leppard ballad.

Silent Night - Another great ballad. Sounds a lot like Never Say Goodbye and I bet that song has this one to thank. Sounds amazing when played loud.

Let it Rock - Rocks... I love the beat and the guitar riffs in this song. Also the solo is one of the best Richie solos ever.

Social Disease - One of the least liked Slippery songs but possibly one of the best. Richie plays all over this one... Has a very 80's rock intro.

I'd Die 4 You - I know a lot of people like this one but it doesn't get mentioned much so thats why I put it.

Homebound Train - Probably one of the least liked New Jersey songs but probably one of the best. Great guitar riff and every member of the band shines in this song... Jon's vocals are great!

99 in the Shade - Awesome!

I Want You - Another great ballad that never really got the attention it deserved. Has a really strong chorus and a lot of power in it.

Damned - Really good song. Has a funky sorta sound but still sounds like a BJ song in the chorus!

Hearts Breaking Even - great great great!

If That's What it takes - Another great These Days song!

Two Story Town - I know a lot of people like this one but I still think it's underrated.

One Wild Night - I love this song! My fave off of Crush.

You Had me From Hello - ok I know this one ain't that great, but I thought I'd put this one here cause I listened to the whole album of Bounce the other day and I think this is the best ballad on there.. Not that bad really. Would fit nicely into an acoustic set.

Love Me Back to Life - I used to hate it but I've learned to really like it..

Default Re: Great songs that don't get much attention

love I'd Die for you it's reallly really good!

Homebound Train - well love the music but jons voice just doesn`'t fit to that heavy song


I Want You - damn love it! one of my favourite ballads! wish they'd play it live!!

Damned - lol every time I hear it I wonder what the hell the guys where thinking when writing this like Richie once said something like if Siggi was listening to the album he would say "let`s talk about damned" *g*



One Wild Night -love the original hate the 2001 remix

You Had me From Hello - love it!!! such great lyrics. this for once is a ballad where I feel like I can see jon and Rich waiting for their wives lol it really fits to them unlike other ballads

for me I love save a prayer don't know why it's just a bonus track it`s great! it sounds great and the lyrics are great too!
