My favorite Modest Mouse songs

First, I want to start off by listing my favorite albums. The great thing about all their albums is that you can listen to each one pretty much all the way through. You will see a lot of songs on here and I think all of them are great. They have nine albums and I have eight of them (the 9th album, Interstate 8, which I can't find for anything cheaper than $60 because it's hard to find). They also have various releases with a couple of singles on them that make it onto future albums. Someday I want to own everything they have put out.

Here is my list of the top albums:

1. The lonesome crowded west (1997)
2. The moon and antartica (2000)
3. This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about (1996)
4. Everywhere and his nasty parlour tricks (2001)
5. Building nothing out of something (1999)
6. Good news for people who like bad news (2004)
7. The fruit that ate itself (1997)
8. Sad Sappy Sucker (2001) Don't get the impression that I hate this album because it's number 8, it's just a very different, experimental album with a lot of short songs.


Now, I'm going to list my top 10 favorite songs, then list my "best of the rest" songs from each album.

Top ten favorite songs
1. Bankrupt on selling (The lonesome crowded west)
2. Custom Concern (This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about)
3. Doin' the cockroach (The lonesome crowded west)
4. Gravity rides everything (The moon and antartica)
5. Cowboy dan (The lonesome crowded west)
6. Teeth like God's shoe shine (The lonesome crowded west)
7. Tiny cities made of ashes (The moon and antartica)
8. Lives (The moon and antartica)
9. Beach side property (This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about)
10.Life like weeds (The moon and antartica)
