I'm sure this has been discussed before, but it's always good for conversation.

Down and Sad get my vote.

Thumbing My Way is also up there.

    Alive, especially the main riff. I start doing it almost unconsciously whenever I pick up the guitar. Elderly Woman is also fun to play... just a quick, easy chord progression with a really fun strum pattern.

    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

    Alive
    In Hiding
    MFC!!!
    Parting Ways (because i like playing it soft with slight phaser, and then towards the end when the e chords get heavier and heavier in more distorted on the album version, it just sounds amazing. i do that at that part by cranking up my tube screamer and believe it or not some delay! it just gives it the extra echo and hold to make it have that neil young like sound. so cool!)

    It has some great pats, big bends, a really neat verse riff with this progressive line of hammered notes, and then some big roaring power chords fpor the othere bits. I really crank up a Lesbian on a moderately distorted sound for this song. It really emphasises the great tones.
