10. "You Give Love a Bad Name"
"You Give Love a Bad Name" appears on the Slippery When Wet album released in 1986. This song is hard hitting rock that will never become stale. The lyrics are solid and the instrumentals almost force movement into the body. "You Give Love a Bad Name" is definitely on the Bon Jovi top ten songs list.

9. "Dry Country"
"Dry Country" is a little discussed song that can be found on the Keep the Faith album released in 1999. This song has a lot to say about rural America and is a throwback to the southern rock of the 70's. This song has been hailed as an epic but is still widely unknown. Richie Sambora's guitar solo is part of what makes this song so epic. Although lesser known, "Dry Country" is one of the top ten songs by Bon Jovi.

Also hailing from the Keep the Faith album is the beautiful ballad, "Bed of Roses."" Bed of Roses" is a song that makes women melt. It was this song that really pushed the sales up on this album.
