this is SOOO hard...ughhhh its like picking your favorite child or favorite San Francisco Giant ....oh god...well here it goes, im gonna go with the songs that cemented my relationship with the band and are songs i immediately turn to:

(NO ORDER)

I WILL SING YOU SONGS (Okonokos version; absolutely sealed my love for this band)
STEAM ENGINE                (ANY version, from simple 2003, to the sax freak out of 2015)
DONDANTE                      (Lollapalooza 2011 sticks out, also Wiltern 9/13/2012)
MASTERPLAN                   (Studio recording is perfect, but the live versions are growlin)
MAHGEETAH            (the song that begun it all; this was the first one that slayed me by MMJ)
ROLLIN BACK                (Studio is immaculate, but RR2012, Wiltern 9/12/2012 are perfection)
HOW DO YOU KNOW  (the Okonokos version is one of absolute mind melting fucking heaviness)
COBRA                        (a studio colossus and a live interlude that should be stretched longer)
THEY RAN         (RR2012,40 watt & Depot 2007, ALL are magical, this song is so sad and perf.)
PHONE WENT WEST    (the definitive version is RR2012 and SLC 8/2/2012, both were magic that luckily i was able to be a part of, witnessing the 8/2/2012 show and watching RR2012 as it went down on AXSTV as I'm sure most of you all were.
