Some of the ones you mentioned as well as their cover of Witchita Lineman are among my favorites, Dark Globe would be another.

"We were listening to the UNC radio (station) there and they were playing an R.E.M. song. I like R.E.M. fine, but at the end of it, the DJ says, 'Ya that was R.E.M., the sound of the new South'. I looked at my roommate and we said, Gawd, if that's the sound of the new South, I preferred it when it was on the skids. That's how we got the name."

I guess Revolution should be mentioned as well, even if it technically didn't appear as the b-side to a single, but it deserves inclusion.

My absolute favourite is Wall Of Death from E-bow. Always singing along to it in the car. Also, Forty Second Song sometimes provides a soundtrack to my dreams so that'd be up there too.

I'd say Tricycle and Departure from the E-bow single. My 2 favorite songs from the NAIHF era.
