    La Cienega Just Smiled is my favourite song written by anybody...

    I couldn't narrow my top ten, but lately I've been all about 'Call Me On Your Way Back Home'. 'How Do You Keep Love Alive' is disgustingly good. He has so much material that its easy to forget about other great songs he's done.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    So true...I definitely love more than 3, but those are always the 3 that I have to listen to when I get on a Ryan Adams binge.

    It's hard for me to pick, there are so many good ones. I would say most of the songs off of Gold and Cold Roses.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    There may not be a more beautiful song than "Oh My Sweet Carolina"

    I love Gold so much. Just got it on vinyl. The only song I always skip is Tina's Toledo Street Walkin' Blues. All that screaming makes my head explode.

    I have a concert recording (6/29/2007) with this on it, and believe it or not that version kills the EP one. I was all about the EP version until I heard this live version... :o
