i dunno daves pretty damn solid on every song. so ill say gravedigger is an amazing "sad-bastard" song. i love big eyed fish. best of whats around is very uplifting and lie in our graves is a very similar meaning thing. what you are is great. and dont drink the water is good too.

most beautiful just listening to ignoring the meaning, id say grace is gone(though the meaning is very deep), ants marching, and satellite. haha thats so many songs.

dreaming tree - because the song can hit me so hard, it makes me shed a tear
#40 - because it constantly changes, yet still beautiful each time
#41 - because he takes a legal situation and makes it sound like a love song

because it was writen when two of his music companies were fighting of the rights to own dave. he felt very odd, and wrote #41. kinda about how he used to do music for fun, and for himself. and he feels like he still does, but with all these people pulling for a peice of his soul.
