    Top Yourself....

    I liked it on the album, but never thought of it as one of my top songs. But after seeing them live and hearing this song it was one of my favorites to hear. It's got such a wicked groove live.

    "Many Shades of Black" is the song that does it for me right now... But it seems that it is a different song everyday off the album that does it for me...

    Top yourself is good, but for me definitely isn't the best song on the album. Carolina Drama is the best Raconteur song, and definitely within my top 25 tracks. It is out of this world. Top yourself is very good, but Carolina Drama is Stratospheric.
  • petrocspetrocs Posts: 4,342
    Carolina Drama for sure...best song
