Not asking for favorites, but curious to know what people think musically, lyrically, and culturally is their best song.

    Present tense. Not culturally I guess, as it isn't one of their hits, but the lyrics are great and the end jam is as good as anything they've ever done musically

    I think depending on one's experience,it will vary. Myself,it's Slieght Of Hand.

    I think if one song embraces everything from Ten to Lightning Bolt, it's Given to Fly.

    purely for the sentiment it represents 'love boat captain'...... its already been sung, but it cant be said enough, all you need is love. ... or corduroy!

    Is there a difference between "best" and "iconic?"

    If not, then it's gotta be "Alive."

    In my opinion, Thumbing My Way is their best song lyrically and musically.

    In my tree - Studio version
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Interesting take. I absolutely love that song and I believe it's underrated.

    Not sure what is meant by culturally...but I am so down with the aforementioned Present Tense and In My (everloving!) Tree.

    I would include Nothingman and Release.

    How they each tell a story, so beautifully written but with pain and vulnerability, maybe regret too, put forth.

    And the musicianship.

    Just fucking love the range of this band.

    Well, maybe musically is stretching it, but I've always found it to have the best lyrics. And yes, I think it is underrated also. Wish they'd play it more and glad I finally got to see it last year in Lexington
