Best Bon Jovi Albums

The album which turned the band into superstars.

Three incredible hits even non-fans enjoy.

One of the greatest albums of the '80s.

It's mainly good because of "Livin' on a Prayer" and "You Give Love a Bad Name." The other albums are good, but this album contains my two favorite songs!

The one that introduced me to them and still the overall most coherent and best-flowing album. Their best by far!

A little bit too negative, but not bad. I mean, half these songs are pretty cheery, as far as tone goes.

There might be some bitter irony in the fact that a song called "Diamond Ring" is on the same album as a song that deems rings pointless with the line, "His ring is on your finger, but my heart is in your hand!" But the rest of the songs - even the not-so-cheery ones - aren't bad.

They're all pretty good if you can ignore that irony.

For the past twenty-plus years, I thought I was one of very few who regarded this as Bon Jovi's best work. This album always meant a lot to me on a personal level.

I decided to research and learn what others think about this album, and it's nice to see so many others feel the same. On just about any ranking, this comes out on top.

I only wish Bon Jovi continued making music like this.

This is Bon Jovi's best album. The whole album is great. The start of the album is great too; Lay Your Hands on Me is a hell of a way to start off an album, then followed by Bad Medicine.

I'll Be There for You is a great rock ballad also, probably one of the best ever written!

A harder, less pop-sounding album than Slippery, but retaining the infectious energy and youthful vibrancy their future albums would never regain. Peak Bon Jovi.

Honestly, even the hits are hard to find on the radio. Although I wouldn't say all the songs from New Jersey are great, the vast majority are.

(Ride Cowboy Ride is done before you even realize it started, and Love for Sale is a little corny, but not bad.)

If you look at statistics, Keep The Faith and New Jersey are the best albums since they both had six hits. If you look at it like that, things play out like this:

1. New Jersey and Keep The Faith
2. These Days
3. Crush and Slippery When Wet
4. Bounce and Have a Nice Day
5. Bon Jovi, 7800° Fahrenheit, Blaze of Glory, Lost Highway, and The Circle
6. 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong (Come on, 60 songs and there's ONE hit?)
7. This House Is Not For Sale (don't know about Burning Bridges and What About Now)
8. Destination Anywhere (NO hits?)

And that's how I'd rate all their studio albums. (Everything else is #9)

Of all the Bon Jovi albums, I tend to like this one the best even though it never sold as well or had as many hits as Slippery When Wet or New Jersey. I like the rawness and brashness of it before they made it big and were all glam.

Not as polished as their later albums but still a great album in its own right. One of the better rock releases of 1984.

As great as Slippery When Wet and New Jersey are, these songs are pretty good too. I mean, She Don't Know Me and Love Lies kind of stick out, but they're not bad for ballads.

It's a hard choice, but I vote for this. But why is Crossroad on the list? It's a compilation album. Of course, it has the best songs.

They have other good albums. These Days has the best lyrics, New Jersey is almost as good as Have a Nice Day, and Bounce has great songs, but this is the best.

For me, Bon Jovi's work peaked here. This album sounds like hard rock. It was still Bon Jovi at its best. After it, nothing more...

One of the best albums with songs like "I Am," "Novocaine," "Who Says You Can't Go Home," and "Have a Nice Day." Best album of all time.

Their last great album, Crush is a fun record made with a back-to-basics approach reminiscent of their '80s stuff. Also, a great portrait of what the band is about: anthemic and epic rockers (It's My Life, Just Older, Next 100 Years), powerful ballads (Thank You for Loving Me, Mystery Train), and pure pop (Captain Crash, Say It Isn't So).

A must-have!

This is top 3 for me along with Slippery When Wet and New Jersey. And it's definitely their best album of the new millennium.

This, for them, was what Music was for Madonna - the introduction of Bon Jovi to new generations.

Though I prefer Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, and Bon Jovi over this one, I'm giving it a vote because it deserves to be in the top 6.

It has some amazing songs, one of which almost made me cry (Only Lonely). Other ones include In and Out of Love, Tokyo Road, The Hardest Part Is the Night, and Silent Night.

Features two absolute great ones! In and Out of Love is an earth-shattering track and a bit underrated. Tokyo Road has a really catchy beat!

Glam metal is something simple: party, alcohol, and girls. This is the best photograph of that era.

This is not only my favorite Bon Jovi album, but one of my favorite albums of all time too! Considering pretty much every album they release is at least 8/10, there are a lot to choose from as "the best."

It's always a sign of a great album when the singles are all top-quality, but you find even better songs on the album. "You Had Me from Hello," "Right Side of Wrong," "Undivided," "Hook Me Up," and "Bounce" are all incredible.

The remaining songs aren't exactly bad either, and I'm certain others would find their favorite Bon Jovi song hidden amongst the track listing on this bad boy.

Really new, so I'll be the first to say this album is great.

Even though it's a Jon Bon Jovi album, Janie, Don't Take Your Love to Town, Queen of New Orleans, Ugly, Destination Anywhere, Naked, and August 7, 4:15 rock.

That is six songs off a 12-song album that rocks. This means that this album should be higher. 50% of this rocks. I mean, the other songs are bad, but this is up there for one of my favorite albums of all time.

I didn't even know it existed till I bought it about four months ago.

Honestly, this album deserves more attention. Yes, it's a solo album, but it has some pretty awesome songs. The only ones that are kind of cringey are Naked and Ugly (which isn't that bad but is a little corny).

The outtakes are pretty cool too.

This record is awesome. I've heard all the Bon Jovi records (I have all of them). This one may not have the big long guitar solos, but it has the most meaningful lyrics.

I love every song on this record and I deeply enjoy playing the entire album on guitar.

Beautiful songs, ballad or heavy, from beginning to end.

Highly underrated album. Good to have a bit of a different vibe once in a while. Honestly, I think this album brings out Jon's true identity, something he has always wanted to express.

Lost Highway is a great album, and the title track has to be the best song. Such a good rhythm!

By far the most creative album made by Bon Jovi. All songs are brilliant. Not by a mile the best, but certainly the best.

Basically the Japanese greatest hits album. Not bad. I like the album that comes with it - Tokyo Road Live - which is why I like Richie Sambora's song "Father Time."

Let's just say there's a reason it's my profile pic.

I have to say it's the best simply for Blaze of Glory, a really good song to listen/jog/work out/play to. The opening wavering guitar chords and the chorus make it an unforgettable classic!

Just the best. Definitely the most underrated Bon Jovi album there is. All of them are good. It has some great ones like "Pictures of You" and "That's What the Water Made Me," but without a doubt the crème de la crème of the album are "I'm With You" (the entire chorus is epic) and "Because We Can" (hitting straight into the song with the amazing chorus).

I'm kind of surprised this wasn't on the list yet.

This album is the only Bon Jovi album I'd get because it has all of their major hits including four new songs which are all brilliant.

It also misses some hits such as Never Say Goodbye and Dry County, but don't let that put you off. This is a 10/10.
