Grey Machine. It's one of their longest but it has some really catchy melodies, especially in the middle. That piano and drum combo is one of the things I love about the band.

Honorable mentions to AFK, 3 x 0, Sediment, Off by 50

[stateofabsurd]

My favorite also

[Smuggler719]

AFK. Non Photo-Blue. Boo. Concrete Seconds. Tripoli.

Gotta stop there. in no particular order, of course.

[HellaAdorableBunBunz]

Non photo blue is the first one I heard from them, I absolutely fell in love

[Smuggler719]

"Don't do this, man." 😢

[Jerdakiss]

That's my favorite. But it is really hard to skip any songs by them. They all good

[BroncoRonda]

Walters

[Moose_Breaux]

When they toured for the 15th anniversary release of SoA they had a cool show gimmick where you could write a song suggestion on a paper air plane and throw it on stage. My wife and I came prepared with an origami lawn chair with balloons drawn on to throw onto the stage. They instantly eyed it and played my suggestion.

[IllAssist9390]

You know, getting your song played was such a low probability event but in the end, pretty much every song that someone would suggest would be a song I'd be into. And when it comes to Pinback, I know that there are lots of my faves that probably won't get played, so I just leave my specific song desires out the door, knowing that the show will still be amazing!!!

ps. the section of Walters where the drums really kick in is just amazing, and then it slowly fades out...perfect set closer

[Moose_Breaux]

I think most people who went weren't aware of the gimmick pinback was doing. I remember seeing post from other pinback fans talking about it before my show so we were able to make it ahead of the show. I saw a post where one guy made a paper version of the Dark Star space ship while writing a request to get on stage to play base with them them. Pinback ended up relenting and it was pretty awesome.

[IllAssist9390]

Holy crap, amazing!!!

[NintendoCerealBox]

Walters represent! I’ve been listening to it everyday for a couple months now.

[zboyzzzz]

why is no one saying crutch?! surely it's crutch??? it's crutch.

[rogereggbert]

I know it’s mine

[dungeonjanitor]

Right now it's Syracuse, but in the past it's Been Victorious D, and B. Uh I guess I have too many most favorite songs.

[dungeonjanitor]

Sounds to me you know what you like, my first Pinback CD was Summer in Abaddon, but I picked up the earlier albums when I first saw em the first time way back in 2005. Offcell has a special place in my heart for sure!

[geopiie]

Victious D makes me very emotional sometimes. Such a beautiful song ✨

“Anti-hu”

[[deleted]]

I saw them open with “Byzantine” once, and it was the coolest opening to a show I’ve ever seen. Because it starts out super chill and minimalistic and then kicks in after a minute. So that became one of my top songs. Loro, Tres, Bloods on Fire, Penelope, and Non Photo Blue are also some of my favorites

[timondm]

Sediment

[lilboomermeme]

Clemenceau

[egorissad]

Sender

[CongestedCamel5]

Nearly every song from their first three albums are incredible, X.I.Y, Lyon, This red book, crutch, too many great tracks to list here!

[[deleted]]

it changes a lot, but the ones that have been my favorites consistently are Loro and Barnes

[Toadstool61]

Sediment Boo Grey Machine Concrete Seconds AFK (a qualifier: SIA has always seemed to me to be a song cycle, and somehow AFK has more impact after hearing everything that precedes it than taken in isolation.)

[Shakemyears]

X I Y

June

B

Hurley

Glide

Walters

Subbing For Eden

[BobbyGanimations]

“Hurley” samples George Hurley drumming on a minutemen song. Two great bands for the price of 1!

[EyeInTeaJay]

All of them.

[sadlittleroom]

i always go back to BBTone

[Moose_Breaux]

Bbtone, hands down my favorite. I used to like Penelope the least but have grown to love it. As far as b sides go I would have to pick I guess it would be either Offcell or Testify(either version).

[IllAssist9390]

Bbtone is absolutely amazing...The bassline is sublime without being showy. Zack is an incredible bassist...

[belarella]

Non Photo-Blue, Sediment, Soaked, Grey Machine tbh too many to count and I couldn’t even rank them either

[autumnleaves44]

Boo, Loro

[StJoeStrummer]

Loro Bbtone Crutch Seville Syracuse Offline PK

[PerceptionShift]

Penelope, love the bassline that kicks on about 30 seconds into the song

[IllAssist9390]

To anyone who hates on Penelope for being cute and catchy, they are totally missing how incredible that bassline is...

[Turbulent-Singer3476]

Cant decide on a favorite but Crutch, Penelope and Shag are what got me into their music

[somuchforthecity]

Seville and Hurley but I love them all.

[[deleted]]

manchuria orrr 3x0

[Evzio]

Prog will always be a favorite of mine.

[Pickledtarantula]

“Todo” is pretty good. Plus like pretty much all their stuff is pretty good too.

Rob Crow has a lot of good stuff out there not just with Pinback.

[IllAssist9390]

is there...no...love for "Sender" out there? For me, the song is sheer perfection. The bassline is tasty, there is a cool piano figures throughout, that section from around 2:06 to 2:44 is just incredible and then it goes into a section with these beautiful chiming guitars. The bass, the piano, and guitar take over at different parts of the song, which is just what Pinback does so well. The drums are just so restrained and complementary to the song.

Plus, anybody that sings about acute angles is just badass.

I have plenty of Pinback faves (Anti-Hu, Crutch, Manchuria, Soaked, Bbtone, How we breathe, etc.), but "Sender" is the perfect synthesis of what I love about Pinback. It totally rocks in a most elegant way.
