What a lame (and dreadfully predictable) list! They should've done what Metallica did a few years back and just opened it up to their whole catalogue.
Now HERE'S a list of five cool JBJ songs to pick from:

The Hardest Part is the Night
Lay Your Hands on Me
She Don't Know Me
Bang a Drum
Let it Rock!

Pick between THOSE five, hotshots! :twisted:

Yeah, I agree. The ones they picked are all the songs we here over and over when they have a live performance. I'd say:

Lay your hands on me
She don't know me
Let it rock
Runaway (that is actually my favorite BJ song)
Living in Sin

But since I HAVE to pick from that list, I think I'd pick Bed of Roses. Because they way over do "wanted dead or alive" , "it's my life" and "livin on a prayer" and that's all you ever hear when they have a performance such as this.

Agreed! How uninspriing would ANOTHER performance of WANTED DOA be??

Looove that song, one of my faves. Quickly became a fan after seeing that one performed on American Bandstand. Great list!

None on the list that we are to choose from are my top picks.......but with what we were given Livin on a Prayer..is Bon Jovi's anthem...and well that is what I went with.

Tokyo Road, or if that's too obscure, Bad Medicine.

For this list, I picked Always as everything else has been done to death, it seems.

These are good choices!

Bon Jovi is the "Play it Safe" band. Geez, how many times can they roll out DOA??? Please not again.
And yeah Stevew2- Thin for sure.

Ditto to both sentences. They used to pull obscure ones, I've seen Get Ready on a few older boots......that's a great one live.

Nobody said Journey were maveriks, but Bon Jovi is much more cautious.
They should do It's My Life. That was a good song for them.

Who cares? Don't watch the grammys anymore with all of the crap "artists" that win grammys now.

I have to agree that the last few years the Grammys have really sucked, but I think this year will be more like "old times" with some quality artists being recognized - as long as Taylor Swift doesn't clean-up all the awards again :roll:
