Day 8 - Fave NJ Song

Day 8 - Favorite song from New Jersey

New Jersey was probably one of Bon Jovi's best all-around albums, which makes it that much harder to pick a single song.  Yeah, I know I'm missing the whole point of this thing, but if you can pick a single favorite anything of Bon Jovi, then you're not looking hard enough.

So...

  • Living in Sin (Don't you just love it when Jon snarls "I don't need your Daddy tellin' us what we should do"?)
  • Blood on Blood  (When we were so young, -so young - soooo young!)
  • I'll Be There For You  is probably one of the best songs they've ever written lyrically
But those are my "also-rans".  

There's nothing that gets me more than an acoustic Jovi, so I'm gonna have to give this one to Love For Sale.  They're so damn cute in the original cut of this, and "feelin' like a dawwg that's been kicked in the head" always brings a smile to my face.  Add that to Richie's guitar improv and his solo line of 'I got some luuuuv for saa-ale!" near the end and I'm toast. 

Here's an awesome live version if you just have to hear it now...

But just imagine how many future tickets you could buy (and how many upset fans there would be when you post on eBay, "Richie Sambora's Sock w/DNA", if they were upset about the guy selling Jon's undies from 1985 some people will erupt like a volcano w/ that! LOL

I just had to listen to L4S twice, and nearly died twice at Richie's growling towards the end. I love it when he does that!
