NYC Ghosts + Flowers
Schizophrenia
Brave Men Run (In My Family)
Shadow of a Doubt
Death Valley 69
In truth, it's probably a top 20-25 that shifts around constantly and leans heavily on the Bad Moon Rising/EVOL/Sister period.
Man, I love "Shadow of a Doubt." That would probably be on my list too.
My go-to SY albums of late have been "Dirty" (not my favorite album, but a few songs I've really been drawn to of late --- "Theresa's Sound World," "Wish Fulfillment," and "On the Strip" especially) and the 1986 "Spinhead Sessions" disc.

Great list, VG.
I remember when Corporate Ghost came out, either right before or right after Sonic Nurse. They included low-budget videos for the entire Goo album and I remember being surprised by that for some reason. Really fun time to be an SY fan.

Corporate Ghost came the same year than Sonic Nurse yeah. Good year for the band for sure...Sonic Nurse remains as a favorite.

Best live sound I've ever heard, possibly next to Neil Young. And that recording sounds fantastic.

Another thought...if i had to sell SY to a guy, and think about a single i would say Sunday and The Empty Page are the best songs for that.
