it is. I didn't have a lot of them but they're all pretty plausible choices that I wouldn't argue against (except faithful, but I begrudgingly accept that it's just me)

There's always one :-)

I was thinking that theoretically if I took say the top 26 ranked songs I could come up with the setlist most pleasing to RMers.

That's a great top 20. The only one I'm not as high on as others here is Sleight of Hand.

I like the idea of the favorite "moments"

That sounds like it could be the next 10 ten list to put together.

A few that stick out off the top of my head:

Present Tense rock out
Everything Has Chains part of Corduroy
Last chorus of I Got Id
Second verse of Light years
I know someday youll have a beautiful life part of Black
End of oceans

I have to give it more thought, but I love where your head was at.

For kicks I started to put together an ideal playlist. I'm starting to realise that if I took my favourite 28 songs it probably wouldn't make a very good show. It's kinda tough getting that balance between hearing all the songs you'd want to hear live and constructing a good listening experience which flows.
