  Best Song per Album

Okay guys (and few gals--are there any out there?)...

We've been debating the top DA albums, but let's get more specific. What's the one song from each album that you love most? You're top song from each album. Here's mine:

Daniel Amos - Skeptic's Song
Shotgun Angle - Better
Horrendous Disc - Hound of Heaven
DA Live Bootleg '82 - Love Has Open Arms
¡Alarma! - Cloak & Dagger
Doppelgänger - Hollow Man
Vox Humana - William Blake
Fearful Symmetry - The Pool
Darn Floor - Big Bite - Return of the Beat Menace
Kalhoun - Virgin Falls
Motor Cycle - Guilty
Motor Cycle Tracks - Buffalo Hills (acoustic mix)
Bibleland - She's Working Here
Songs of the Heart - When Everyone Wore Hats
Mr. Buechner's Dream - The Author of the Story
When Everyone Wore Hats - When Everyone Wore Hats (Disc II)

Let's see what others have to say....

Ha, I'm sitting here listening to When Everyone Wore Hats and earlier I was listening to the interview with Terry, and I was just thinking:

I think I agree with Terry, that's a very important song.

Probably the best one on the album.

Meanwhile, I think ¡Alarma! is the best song on ¡Alarma! Although Cloak & Dagger, and Through the Speakers come in closely behind that. Or maybe Shedding the Mortal Coil.

Actually, I've changed my mind. Shedding the Mortal Coil is the best on ¡Alarma!

The rest I either don't own, or could never possibly pick out a best song. They are all the best song, for instance, on Fearful Symmetry.

I almost put that one...it's a great track. But the simplicity of the acoustic version of Buffalo Hills won me over.
