I tried to pick them from their total time frame instead of just their highest charting hits.
I go with "Wanted Dead or Alive"

"Livin On A Prayer" A New Jersey classic.
"It's My Life" and "Misunderstood" are other favorites. Love "Always" as well. And "You Give Love A Bad Name."

"Livin' On A Prayer" is nothing less than a classic. Bon Jovi was the best during that time. "You Give Love A Bad Name" is another great one.

The problem with some of these "Best Of" topics (apart from the fact that they're wayyy overdone and isn't that bandwagon about to collapse from all that weight now?  ) is that some artists have more than 8 big hits and/or memorable songs. I vote for "This Ain't A Love Song" but it's not among the choices. I'll Be There For You among the 8. |

There are some really good songs not on there, but then again, how else would you cover their whole history? I have to go with Livin' On a Prayer, but Wanted Dead Or Alive is right up there.

My vote goes to "I'll Be There For You" because "Living In Sin" isn't an option.

"You Give Love A Bad Name" or "Born To Be My Baby"... among the choices, "I'll Be There For You" is my favorite.

They only have a couple of good songs IMO, but 'Livin On A Prayer' is just a classic.

Bed Of Roses, though practically every song on that list is a worthy winner

I liked them much better in the beginning, before they got to those sappy love ballads of the '90's. My very favorites were "Runaway", "She Don't Know Me" and "Only Lonely". Their B sides like "Always Run To You" were better than their A sides later on. Of those listed, "Living On A Prayer" got my vote.
I'll rate them:
Runaway A
She Don't Know Me A
Only Lonely A
You Give Love A Bad Name B
Living On A Prayer A-
Wanted Dead Or Alive B
Bad Medicine B-
Blaze Of Glory B+
It's My Life B
Misunderstood B-
All other singles fall below a C (mostly D)
