Sky King
Props
Mall All over The World

Darn Floor Big Bite
If You Want To
Grace is the Smell of Rain

Much easier to rank the albums. Songs out of album context...hard for me to choose. I guess I'm fond of Darn Floor and Buechner!

Choosing one song from each DA record (ignoring Eddies and Dogs, and the S/T first album), then going back and filling in the blanks:

01. Sail Me Away
02. Hound Of Heaven
03. Walls Of Doubt
04. Memory Lane
05. Sanctuary
06. The Pool
07. The Unattainable Earth
08. If You Want To
09. Hole In The World
10. Out In The Cold
11. The Organ Bar
12. My Beautiful Martyr
13. Horrendous Disc
14. Beautiful One
15. Gate Of The World
16. Grace Is The Smell Of Rain
17. The Bubble Bursts
18. When Everyone Wore Hats
19. Steal Away
20. Darn Floor - Big Bite

Of course, if you ask me again later, I'll say something else. Tongue

Hole in the World is a great choice. I love that song. For that matter, I love that whole album. Motorcycle is probably my favorite DA album. I'd also have to include (What's Come) Over Me on my "best of".
