Stevie Ray Vaughan

Crossfire
Superstition - Live (Best of any Artist)
Couldn't Stand the Weather
Little Wing (Best of any Artist)
Texas Flood

Extra: Pride & Joy, Tightrope, Mary had a Little Lamb, The Sky is Crying, Come On Pt. III, Cold Shot, Etc.

Pink Floyd

Any Colour You Like/Brain Damage/ Eclipse
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (All Parts)
Breathe
What Do You Want From ME
Young Lust

Note: Hard to judge PF on a single track, I almost always listen to entire albums (long drives, studying, laying in bet, etc.) when listening to Pink Floyd

Zac Brown Band

Jump Right In (biased)
Free/Into The Mystic - Live
Goodbye In Her Eyes
Keep Me In Mind
Highway 20 Ride

Extra: Only heard it twice, but new song called "Day of the Dead/Dance for the Living" w/ Dave Grohl is awesome stuff. Very Santana-y sounding. they're phenomenal live, great musicians, play it all from southern rock to bluegrass to country to reggae tropical

Nothing at all from The Ghosts that Haunt Me? My list would be very different.

I'll tackle one for They Might Be Giants:

Birdhouse in Your Soul
Particle Man
Meet James Ensor
The End of the Tour

Damn, that's tough to pick. There are another 15-20 that could have easily made the cut.
