I see that this post is like a year old but I still want to reply! I think i'ts funny how most people say Float On or The Ocean Breathes Salty or the World at Large are the best. I think those were the first few songs I was exposed to. I still like them, I've just overplayed them probably.

I think my top 5 favorites are:
1. Paper thin walls
2. Missed the boat
3. Fire it up
4. Gravity rides everything
5. I came as a rat

I've actually been working for a months now with this website called GoRankem.com, which collects rankings of fans' favorite songs for each artist and compiles one big list of the best songs for newbie fans who don't know where to start. Here is a link to the rest of my favorites: http://gorankem.com/rankings/7467-Modest-Mouse

You can even create a youtube playlist with it, which is pretty cool.

I will try and narrow it down to a few songs.

3rd planet,
Little Motel,
Perfect Disguise,
Heart Cooks Brain,
Cowboy Dan
and
Teeth like Gods Shoe Shine
are just a few of my top favorites.
SO MANY

My favorite song seems to change daily, though. haha

I feel like it changes constantly.

But right now my favorite is Broke. can't get enough of it. Then probably 3rd planet, and Heart Cooks Brain.

I would have to say Dramamine, Ocean Breathes Salty, & Fly Trapped in a Jar.

it changes depending on the mood

Im listening to Truckers Atlas right now so probably that

i like them all, i couldn't pick an over all favourite

Ocean Breathes Salty.... or Talkin Shit About a Pretty Sunset.... or maybe even Trailer Trash.
