SoaD had some many fucking outstanding songs. I'm not sure I have a favorite album of theirs but I have a dozen or so songs that I'll still listen to and rock the fuck out.
The first two records are fantastic. After that it's all downhill.
We've had this discussion too many times. But BYOB is still my all-time SoaD favorite. That song fucking GETS me.

Songs that impacted on rock radio and made Billboard's 1994 year end singles list:
John Mellencamp, Wild Night
Collective Soul, Shine Crash Test Dummies, Mmm Mmm Mmm
Meatloaf, I'd Do Anything for Love
10,000 Maniacs, Because the Night
Cranberries, Linger
Gin Blossoms, Found Out About You
Bruce Springsteen, Streets of Philedelphia Aerosmith, Crazy
Aerosmith, Amazing Tom Petty, Mary Jane's Last Dance
Bon Jovi, Always
Some other rock radio #1's from that same year:
Pincushion, ZZ Top Deuces are Wild, Aerosmith
Van Halen's Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do missed the list be mere weeks. Shucks.
All songs that I dearly loved at the time. Tremendously LOVED at the time. And three of those are still in fairly heavy rotation.
I also love "Found out About You" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance". "Linger" is also solid.

Korn made shitloads of catchy-as-fuck songs in their prime.
I'd still argue that Freak on a Leash is one of the best songs on 1998.
And you'd be fucking right.
ugh
Let's not get it twisted, boo. Liz Phair is one of the all-time greats. Exile in Guyville is one of the essential records of the 1990s and one of my top 25 albums of all time.

I'm mostly just excited for the day when we can finally watch Adam Duritz and Pat Smear spend an hour of infomercial time trying to convince us what heady, glorious days those 1990's really were, and how this new collection spans all your favorite hits.
