I like 'The One I Love' and 'Orange Crush' better, but that is a great song.

Half a World Away is their best song.


Strange Currencies is better song than What's the Frequency, Kenneth?, off that same album

Dang, was in a hurry to get to work...I totally left off songs from Chronic Town and Dead Letter Office.
Your list is better.
Not taking back "Get Up" though...I play bass and that song has a fun bass line.

Crush With Eyeliner, Driver 8 or The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight

They were decent...but the one thing about them... their music now sounds really dated.

Underappreciated, great bass playing and the horns are fun.

Nothing from Document at all? For me it's held up the best of their albums. I'd have four or five from it on my list.

What's the Frequency Kenneth? - It's OK but never really connected with me.

I researched a little further and found this article about the meaning of the title of the song. Mental illness is a terrible thing.
