I definitely would have chose Work For The Working Man as the first single. It has the recession topic which Jon was using to push the album, it would work at radio and virtually every person I know who has heard that song but normally wouldn't be into Bon Jovi loves the song.

You just know its Bon Jovi right off the bat with the Livin on a Prayer base line.

I would always have chosen Superman Tonight as the second single, then either Love's The Only Rule or Thorn In My Side as the third.

Don't think it matters much to be honest beyond the first single as that's the only one that seems to get any attention or any promotion.
