Damn, no one has mentioned either of these?

Black Cadillacs

Never Ending Math Equation

I'd add these 2 along w/ 3rd Planet and 5 or 6 of the others mentioned above as some of my favorites by MM.

one of the best songwriters ever
i don't care what anybody says.

i was listening to MM when they were nobodies,
they'd come to clubs like the bayou in the early years and there'd be 20 people there.

everybody always thought they were too far out there, and to weired, and i use to be like, 'yep'

BUMP because I just discovered the music board and found this thread.

1) 3rd planet
2) Gravity Rides Everything (choices 1 + 2 = greatest opening to songs on a CD in my humble opinion...)
3) Styrofoam Boots
4) Broke
5) too hard to choose....I'll go with Ocean Breathes Salty


If I had to pick one CD - moon & antarctica

ETA - just looked up that Bluegrass tribute to Modest Mouse and it is pretty rad. Sun Kil Moon also has a tribute to Modest Mouse called Tiny Cities which has some pretty decent renditions. His version of Neverending Math Equation is pretty cool IMO.

I hadn't listened to them in a while but this thread got me to dig back into some of my old CDs. I had forgotten how excellent a lot of the lyrics in their songs are.

Honestly you could switch any of these around and it'd be cool, ranking favorite Modest Mouse songs is really hard

1. Make Everyone Happy/Mechanical Birds
2. Truckers Atlas
3. Heart Cooks Brain
4. Styrofoam Boats/It's All Nice on Ice, Alright
5. Never Ending Math Equation

and you've got your Tundra/Desert and Doin' the Cockroach and so many others. Man I forgot how awesome Modest Mouse is, I'm gonna have to start listening to it again.
