A Road Trip Mix
Elizabeth Coffee
With today being the unofficial start of summer in the United States, Bon Jovi lovers are seeking out the sun and surf as their favorite band is on a brief hiatus from their tour. The days of
the mix tape are long gone, but if you want to create a line-up on your ipod or Mp3 player or whatever other technological device allows it of the best summertime/road trip Bon Jovi tunes, here are some recommendations from the band's collection of eleven studio albums. In order of American release, these are the Bon Jovi songs that capture the essence of summer. On the list, you will find one selection from each album plus a bonus song for the traditional total of twelve songs.
- "Runaway," Bon Jovi (1984)
- "In and Out of Love," 7800 Fahrenheit (1985)
- "Wild in the Streets," Slippery When Wet (1986)
- "99 in the Shade," New Jersey (1988)
- "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," Keep the Faith (1992)
- "Damned," These Days (1995)
- "One Wild Night," Crush (2000)
- "Everyday," Bounce (2002)
- "Have a Nice Day," Have a Nice Day (2005)
- "We Got It Goin' On," Lost Highway (2007)
- "Love's the Only Rule," The Circle (2009)
- Bonus: "Summertime," Lost Highway (2007) -- duh!
Of course, this list is going out to Jovi World where the inhabitants are known to have strong opinions about lists such as the one above, so please feel free to chime in below about songs you think should be here instead. Just remember the rules: only one song per album, and said songs should capture the essence of summer, not necessarily be the best songs from the albums.

- Get Ready
- In and Out of Love (LIVE) the 12 minute and change version off the 7800 Special Edition
