Or maybe The Power of Independent Trucking for the fact that Marilyn Manson started a career on ripping off the song forever...

How am I the only one to pick Kerosene so far?

I considered but figured I'd get shit on by the nerds for picking suck an obvious one.

It's the best Big Black song. The most original, interesting, and intense little song they ever put together.

Bad Penny, Passing Complexion, Bazooka Joe.

The version of "Steelworker" on PIGPILE. A wash of fluttering frequencies and death-ray Manson-vibe like you've never heard.

I like it when Riley plays chords.

BEST song? hooo boy.

This question is too hard. For me it's a three way tie between 'Big Money' and 'The Crack Up' and 'I'm a Mess.'

I'll also mention 'Bad Houses,' also for reasons I won't go into, much like SecondEdition.

I can't pick just one, so I'll list some:

Bad Penny
Sleep!
The Ugly American
Colombian Necktie
L Dopa
Big Money
Passing Complexion
Texas
Shotgun (great tone)
Kasimir S. Pulaski Day
The Big Payback (I guess this one doesn't count if we're talking about original songs)

I never got the appeal of Kerosene.

it changes alot, but right now its Pavement Saw

PS- Don't image search Big Black...

Things to do Today

L Dopa is a very close second and the cover of The Model is very dear to me but only because of how much it pissed off my first wife. She lived in Europe when the original was big and would go completely apescat everytime I played it.

Surprised no one has gone with Cables yet. Great tune but I've burned myself out on it.
