    Honestly, I can't pick a top 6. I love every song on Backspacer. If I had to rate them,...

    1. Force of Nature
    2. Just Breathe
    3. Got Some
    4. Gonna See My Friend
    5. Unthought Known
    6. Johnny Guitar
    7. The Fixer
    8. Amongst The Waves
    9. Supersonic
    10. The End
    11. Speed of Sound

    But that is a respectable list.

    Just 6? That's pretty tough. I'd rather do a top 10 and leave out the album version of "Speed of Sound" (which I still enjoy, it's just my least favorite). As for the rest of them, I'm pretty sure my favorites will change on each listen. For example, when I first heard "Johnny Guitar", I didn't like it very much, but it's really grown on me. But for right now:

    Gonna See My Friend
    Got Some
    Just Breathe
    Amongst the Waves
    Unthought Known
    The End

    The fact that I changed my mind several different times just writing this shows me how awesome this album is.
