Hello all!

Because of PJ20 and the tours and all the great music, I decided to finally make a list of my favorite PJ songs, but I didn't want it to be like every other one and name all the obvious ones, so I decided to use songs that were officially released as singles.

I had a lot of fun doing this, and it made me love the band even more.

I hope you guys like it too. Enjoy!

    Really solid list. There were a few I'd change out, but a lot of mine are the same. I'm a sucker for a harmonica too. :lol:

    I know Black wasn't a single, but I was trying to name the not-so-obvious songs. I totally believe "Black" is one of their best songs ever. I hope that makes sense. The list was, at one time, 48 songs long and cutting each song was brutal. Haha

    Alone is on the list. Breath is definitely one of my favorites, but I wanted to go after songs that weren't really promoted heavily or ones you don't hear on the radio.

    Really really really happy to see Fatal on this list. Agreed on Black, Breath, etc etc (I'd also throw Wash in there...), but I love any recognition/love/praise that Fatal gets.

    Even though Black was popular and you did put Corduroy on the list, it still was not released as a single and the fact it is such a great song, if not their greatest, should have been the whole point. I donno...

    You nailed it with Indifference and Hard to Imagine!

    When do tell was Breath ever "promoted heavily" or really played on the radio??? I can't remember either of those things happening with the song, I think I can honestly say I have NEVER heard that song on the radio, @ least here in Austin.
