Right. The singles were:
"Undone - The Sweater Song"
"Buddy Holly"
"Say It Ain't So"

Only In Dreams and Pink Triangle


Undone is really good as well.

Is Island In the Sun too poppy and gay? If so, I go with Say It Ain't So.


You should never have to ask this question. I have never apologized for liking catchy pop songs, and you shouldn't either. The whole notion of "guilty pleasure" songs makes me sad. Why should I feel guilty about putting " I want it that way" on repeat. Why should I feel compelled to keep my love for Carly Rae Jepsen in the closet? Funk dat noise, I say.

Island In The Sun is a great damn song. Fine choice. Go with it.

My only problem with Beverly Hills is that Rivers seemingly went out of his way to avoid rhyming a damn word. That's sort of a pet peeve of mine.

Other than that, I think it's a damn good song. That chorus is infectious af.

Have you ever listened to That's Entertainment by The Jam? Talk about going out of your way. I normally don't notice that sort of thing, but I don't even know why Weller thought this was a song.

"Only In Dreams"
That's the only song I wish hadn't made it into the canon.

I just saw them live this summer - and it was a top 5 concert for me of all time. Based on that, I think I just have to stick with Say It Ain't Say. It is fricking mindblowing.

Close #2 is El Scorcho.

I feel obligated to post in this thread based since they are responsible for my user name.

My favorite song is El Scorcho. However, I do not think that is their best song.

For purposes of this thread -- and in music generally -- the terms "best" and "favorite" are synonymous.


I find this to be the exact opposite. Especially with music

Then explain to us how you differentiate between what is your favorite and what you consider to be the best.

What's remarkable is that most have listed Say It Ain't So as their favorite -- and, indeed, I agree that it's an awesome awesome song -- and it doesn't crack my top three songs on. the. album.

This is why I hold the blue album in such a high regard. It's not merely deep, but balls deep.

Simple. My favorite isn’t always the best. My favorite guitarist isn’t the best ever. My favorite band isn’t the best ever. My favorite song isn’t the best ever.
