5. Always
Following the success of “Bed of Roses” two years earlier, Bon Jovi came out with “Always”, another power ballad that helped them maintain their grip on the 1990s music charts. No longer a party-power-metal band, this track demonstrated a level of maturity and growth that kept them going well into the next century.
6. Wanted Dead or Alive
Featuring insane guitar riffs and powerful vocals, it's impossible not to feel pumped up when listening to this track. "Wanted Dead or Alive" is one of the band's most emotive early rock hits, with deep lyrics that tap into the longing for home amidst the chaos of life on tour.

7. Livin’ On a Prayer (Live from the “America: A Tribute to Heroes” Telecast)
This take on the band's classic anthem took a somber term when it was performed on the 2001 “America: A Tribute to Heroes” telecast following the terrorist attacks on September 11. It's a version that packs the same wallop of stoic American pride but delivered in a much more powerful package.

8. Runaway
Despite having a somewhat corny public image among adults in the early 1980s, Bon Jovi could sure tackle meaningful lyrics—which is probably why they connected so intensely with teens. Released in 1984, "Runaway" managed to speak to anyone who ever felt stifled or stuck in a situation they wished to escape, propelling the listener through an emotional journey of defiance and determination.
9. Born to Be My Baby
With an infectious chorus that will have you singing along in no time, "Born to Be My Baby" continues to be a fan favorite at Bon Jovi concerts and on rock radio stations worldwide. Featuring an upbeat tempo and relatable themes of love and defiance, it's the kind of song that makes you want to roll down the windows, turn up the volume, and sing your heart out with all your friends.

10. Blaze of Glory
This track was another of Bon Jovi’s foray into outlaw rock, taking the usual heavy guitars and crunchy vocals to sing about a cowboy in the Wild West who refuses to go down. "Blaze of Glory" is the perfect soundtrack for anyone ready to take on the world with fearless abandon.
