DVD Talk Hall of Fame
I went through every album and every song that I have for the 1st time completely in years. I couldn't believe how much better I liked some of their music than I remembered. I don't think any band has a better body of work in the time they've been around. Is it even close?
I decided to make mix cds and I narrowed down the songs to the top 54. I couldn't get it any lower than that. Top 5 would be crazy.
I didn't include anything for the newest album as I haven't had time to hear it enough and appreciate it fully. I'm sure that the 54 will only grow when I do.
Top 54: Dirty Frank, Alone, Last Kiss, Crazy Mary, Long Road, Footsteps, I got Id, Yellow Ledbetter, Who you are, Habit, Not for You, State of love and trust, Once, Even Flow, Alive, Jeremy, Why Go, Black, Oceans, Porch, Garden, Go, Animal, Daughter, Glorified G, Dissident, Rearviewmirror, Elderly Woman, Indifference, Spin the Black Circle, Tremor Christ, Nothingman, Betterman, Corduroy, Satan's Bed, Immortality, Hail Hail, In my tree, Off he Goes, Red Mosquito, Faithful, No way, Given to Fly, Wishlist, Pilate, Do the Evolution, MFC, Evacuation, Light Years, Nothing as it Seems, Thin Air, Of the Girl, Insignificance, Parting ways.
Amazing. And the other songs are damned good too.

aaaargh... how to choose 5 songs from your favourite band of all time? There are just too many!
ok, I'll try (in no particular order, trying to cover most of their albums):
- I got ID
- Jeremy
- Smile
- Rearviewmirror
- Given to Fly
plus: favourite cover version:
- Crazy Mary
(please note: there were AT LEAST 10 other songs on my list, but since it said "favourite five", there you go
)

That's a tough call. Like many others here, PJ is one of my favorite bands, and it's hard to narrow it down to 5. Here's what I'll do.
It's a tie for my number one choice between:
1. Black
1. Release
1. Yellow Ledbetter
2. Immortality
3. Indifference
4. Nothing man
5. Wash

hmmm, I've seen them live so many times it's hard to pick 5 favorites.
But my favorite opener for a show is:
Release (MSG 98!!!)
Long Road (close 2nd favorite opener, it was amazing at Boston #3 acoustic last year)
For others I'd choose:
Black
Smile
Why Go
---------------------------
Other favorite live performances are
Baba O Riley for closing
Yellow Ledbetter
Off He Goes
Parting Ways
Indifference (especially version with Ben Harper)
...........list goes on and on.
