So many to choose from. And while my favorite can and does change from day to day,and hour to hour I'd currently have to with "Space is Gonna Do Me Good". It's just a perfect blend of lyrics, great shifting chords, a simple yet emotional guitar solo, and a strange horn section that fits in seamlessly. Let the argument begin.

Thalassocracy or White Noise Maker, although my choices would change almost weekly if someone were to ask. I think there is a FB record for every occasion, and within each album there is a song for every mood also, that's why it is so ahrd to pick favourites :) But yeah anyway, one of those two songs would be my pick right at this moment.

'Pong' still makes my jaw drop even after 13 years but 'Abstract Plain' probably takes it - one of the best tunes by anyone ever.

Thallassocracy or Two Reelers more often than not. Superabound every once in awhile.

My girlfriend is a big fan of Freedom Rock and Abstract Plain.

why do people put more than one song down for these threads? It's not so hard. You can hear one song from TOTY before you die. Which one will it be?

It's like the potato-chip commercial (Lays?). It's hard to eat just one. My picks:

Fiddle Riddle
Two Reelers



Grand Marnier and a pocketful of speed. We did it all day until we started to bleed.

Today my favorite is Pie in the Sky. It's just such an upbeat sounding song. Makes ya feel goood. As an added bonus: Just the other day I saw a restaurant called Pie in the Sky pizza. I don't know if it is a chain or just a local place. I took a picture to share with the group...I'll do that soon.

I love the way he uses 1950s cliches in that song. Like I love Lucy warning Junior that if he doesn't get to bed this instant there'll be heck to pay. That's an order young man! When he also means like a celestial order. So cool. Plus the drum rumble intro gets me every time. And is that Joey on guitar? Sublime. I bet it'd be one of David Lynch's favourites if he was a fan. I dunno. Is he a fan?

Olé Mulholland.
I was thinking the other day about what the tracklist for the Best of FB would be, and while you can quite easily select 1 or 2 standout tracks for most of his records, it's downright impossible to do it with TOTY. I'd put half the album on that compilation.

I can't say wich is the best or the worst. I love this album so much. Each time I think of one song off, I found myself thinking how great it is.

I could vote off one or two songs from TOTY, though. Pure Denizen, uh... I Could Stay Here Forever... uh... ah fuck it, I love them all.
