All great. Might have to go for Tesla just over Ratt. But could be a different answer tomorrow

All great, but "Wanted Man" wins by a mile, as does pretty much all of OOTC over Jovi and Tesla.

Re: Wanted Man Vs Wanted Dead Or Alive vs Modern Day Cowboy ?
Like all 3. 12 year old me would have said Bon Jovi but I'll go with Tesla.

I'm not a fan of Bon Jovi, but "Wanted Dead or Alive" is a classic, on the other hand I really like RATT and Tesla, but IMO "Wanted Man" and "Modern Day Cowboy" are weaker hits/singles from both bands.

I'm a huge nutswinger for all things Mechanical Resonance so this one is easy for me. That album is perfect and the single rules.

In what world is the BJ in last place? I don’t even like “hair metal” but that’s just a great song that everybody loves no matter what kind of stuff you listen to.

I dont like BJ, but theres a reason that that one was a timeless smash hit single and the others... weren't.
Modern Day Cowboy is fine I guess.
Wanted Man is just an album track to me, even if It was a single. Dont see whats great about it.
Of course Sludge has it inverted. Without it, it wouldnt be Sludge.

I am a Bon Jovi fan and love all 3 of these songs but Wanted Dead or Alive is the 80's hard rock answer to Bob Seger "Turn the Page". It's timeless.Wild Obsession wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2025 10:10 am I'm not a fan of Bon Jovi, but "Wanted Dead or Alive" is a classic.
