Jason's catalogue is getting to the point where a top 5 is really hard.

I like the fact that "the Magician" is up so high on so many lists - it's not one that's mentioned as much as the others, but I think it's a brilliant, clever (but simple) song. One of my fav's.

I love the new songs but I'm not quite ready to promote them into the top echelon.

Re The Magician, I'm wondering how many people have moved that song up their lists based on the band's current hard rockin' live version (which IMO blows the Sirens version away). The full band acoustic version from last summer's Nashville radio broadcast did it for me....

It's been a top 5 song for me since the first time I heard it. One of those songs that just clicks right away.

That whole Nashville show is awesome. I listened to that a ton last summer.

Nashville show made me realize how much I liked The Magician. But it was pretty much stuck in my head the first time I heard it.

Also have to say, I've always found it interesting how popular Codeine is. I mean it was the first satellite radio play off Here We Rest. And while its a good song (of course), I myself see it as sub standard to many of his others. But yet even on venues like letterman, it got pushed. But is just an each his own thing, of course. Just interesting to me that even of his huge fans, some songs can be seen so different......

Perhaps we could start some sort of game where we determine what his best song is?
