I think a lot of folks would say Ace of Spades is their best jam but..... No Voice in the Sky has 2 things that are just *chefs kiss* for me, it's the huge guitar chord coming out of the bridge into the chorus, and the way he inflects on the chorus..... both are so good.   It's really a great tune.

Off topic sort of because I am listening....with these:

Words cannot describe how happy I am with these earbuds. Granted they don't sound as good as an expensive in-ear set (we're talking the really high end stuff), but they're really nice for being able to be able to communicate and hear the outside world while out walking/bicycling etc.

We walked around the zoo last week and I was able to have music playing AND listen to my wife go on and on and on and on about....well whatever she was going on and on and on about.

I find myself wanting to be able to hear what's going on and whatever I'm listening to as well.    Lately I've been using a Bose shoulder speaker called a Soundwear - I don't think they make it anymore.   What I like about the shoulder speaker is that I can actually fall asleep using it at night.  When I've tried with earbuds they always fall out and get lost or it's not comfortable to sleep with.

 I've heard these bone conduction ones are pretty awesome too.   Sony came out with some buds they call link buds that look pretty cool too.

It's great for yard work because they don't fall out of your ears as you move around. As I understand it, they're also better for your ears because they don't push air. Long term loud listening can definitely cause damage but these can't go too loud otherwise they start vibrating and it's annoying. They're loud enough that I can listen at reasonable volumes and enjoy all the nuances of the music/podcast.

Tom Petty was so great.   His death was one of the rockers that hit me the worst.   

I probably saw him 10 times.  Always a very entertaining show.    He's one of those guys that seemed to reach a lot of people through music, a wide cross section of music fans who usually wouldn't line up together.   

It's not that his death hit me hard, it's just that it came out of nowhere.  I mean, he was a rock star, of course he dabbled in drugs, but this was so surprising.
