Usually with a band I can identify my all time favorite song.  With MMJ sometimes it seems like thats whichever song I'm currently listening to.  If you had to pick one song - only one - what would be your favorite?

Steam Engine.

Unfortunately, having seen MMJ about 8 or 9 times, I haven't caught it live yet.  I'm really hoping to see it at Radio City.  I went to see MMJ open for Pearl Jam once but we got caught in traffic and were late.  As we were running through Hartford to the venue, I remember hearing the last strains of Steam Engine in the distance.  It sucked.

Hartford, CT? Where did they play???

With so many incridible songs to choose from, this is a very hard choice to make. But since I first heard it on Okonokos, Dondante has been my favorite. The lyrics and notes just make me melt...it's a true spiritual moment.

It's always changing.  
Right now i'm all about Nashville to Kentucky
God damn those shaky knees.

currently Touch Me I'm Going to Scream 2

Top song on my iPod per playcount is Gideon, but I'm thinking I actually like a couple better; It Beats For You, Gideon, Run Thru, One Big Holiday, The Bear, Touch Me I'm Going To Scream, Sweetheart... Nevermind, I can't just pick one.

Okay, how about Holy?  :D
--- and that's 2 real 4 u.

I really am not sure, like everyone else has said its very tough to pick one.

I love The Bear but not sure if I would put it at number one, One Big Holiday breaks my face everytime I hear a live version, Off the Record is so much damn fun.  I don't know I guess if I had to pick one maybe it would be At Dawn, but its almost too short to choose because its over almost as soon as it starts. Damn it.

You couldn't resist could you?  :D
This is tough!

My answer is; I don't know.
But "Lowdown" is what made me look even further into this band.

this was two or three years ago at (i think) the Dodge Ampitheatre in Hartford.  they were opening for Pearl Jam, but traffic caused me to miss the full MMJ set.  Pearl Jam, however, rocked.

later that year I drove to camden, nj to see jim solo but a typhoon caused the show to be postponed and i couldn't make it back the next day for the rescheduled show.  that was a bad year for me missing the Jacket.

also, in the way of songs, I Will Be There When You Die alternates with Steam Engine for numero uno.

Foxtrot76

Very tough choice but I think I'd have to go with The Way That He Sings. When I heard that song the first time I finally 'got the jacket'.

Picking your fav mmj song is like picking your fav child.  You love them all.

The song that i will always lose my mind to is lay low.  

A song that im really feeling right now is sweetheart.  I think its one of the best love songs ever written.

It's a tie between Steam Engine and The Way that He Sings


mymonkeyfriend

man, that is hard. the way that he sings or OBH is what hooked me. but where to begin, just because i do, easy morning rebel, come closer, just one thing, lay low,live hell,  and im amazed are back ups. that is just too damn hard.

screw it- the only song i dont like/am not obsessed in the entire catalog is into the woods.

This song is so beautiful....I love the breakdown near the end (slow tapping of the hi hats) then "take your money and your druuuuugggssss"

WOW such a good song

Killgies

Just depends on my mood. At the moment:

COBRA
"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

TGMC421

As a sucker for love songs, I think Hopefully tops the charts for me.

It also was the song I heard that made me look into them on a deeper level.
