    I recently had a really long bus trip and listened to all their albums start to finish - really listened - for the first time in years. No Code is still my favorite...unfortunately the poll limited me to 10 choices!

    After a short contemplation, I had to stick with what was my gut reaction. Love this song and that bridge is just genius. And the flow of in my tree to smile?? Love it! Not on your list, but I love how sometimes makes you feel all contemplative and hail, hail smacks you out of that!

    The flow of that album is incredible. Every song is perfectly placed.

    I'm pretty sure it's the initial sonic blast of Hail, Hail coming out of Sometimes. I cant tell you how many times I had that turned up just a little too loud.

    Can't argue with you. Off He Goes anchors that album in so many ways.

    I just adore this entire album, start to finish - even Mankind :D

    It tells a story, at least to me, of searching within and without - goes from soft questioning to defiance and anger to longing to new/continuing love to defeat to...it goes.

    And then in the end with Around the Bend, such a sweet gentle caress goodnight.

    A beautiful fabric, with every stitched note perfectly in place.

    "are we bound out of ob-ala-gation?"
    This is in my top 10 of all time for sure. The song has the ability to completely change my mood. The aggressiveness of how is starts, and the lyrics "I could only be as good as you let me" are what make this my choice.

    Definitely a contender for my favorite album, and In My Tree is my fave song on the album.... I'm going to listen to No Code right now! :)

    That's a fine idea..... Is there a live "I'm Open" and "Mankind"?
