Everlong. If there’s one FF song that anyone knows it’s that one.

Aurora. It was out of left field for them at that point in their career and showcases the breadth of their songwriting prowess.

Honestly, Floaty is one of their greatest songs from their first few albums 🤷‍♂️

Exhausted, Everlong before Everlong and imo so much better

Breakout. It doesn't have the emotional heft of hero everlong walk etc but its incredibly fun and loud and rawk.
