This is killing me.  Everytime I read someone's post I remember another favorite!  Yeah - "What If I Came Knockin" - love the intensity and bit of danger in that one....and "Ain't Even Done With the Night" - sigh - love the 'hands in my back pockets' - sigh.

Then there's L.U.V. just cuz it's just plain fun. And I think one of the coolest songs he even did was "Justice & Independance" for the play on words.  I've heard he doesn't like that song, but I LOVE it and wish he would do it live...especially now because the theme still works for these times.
