From the Sam era I think I'd go with Good Enough.
Well, actually, my fav Sucker In A 3 Piece. But everyone here seems to hate that song.

"Sinner's" was a good choice, as well.
I love that barnburner, yet most overlook it's raw, almost punkish power.Graver, Walking Ed, refugee from CVH & proud tone chaser...

No one's got it wired

Want my iron in that fire"

I love sucker. Could give a duck about the lyrics.
Can Good Enough really be a deep cut to the diehards?
Still think it’s the best VH album opener second only to MS, maybe MAM.

I remember hearing WCTBL? and Love walks in, on the radio.
I was like.....NOPE.
But then this weird kid had the cassette of 5150, put it on, and Good Enough
starts up, a song i hadn't yet heard.
I remember thinking: Okay. This one is pretty good.Graver, Walking Ed, refugee from CVH & proud tone chaser...

Fools is the quintessential deep cut, never played live, rarely if ever played on the radio, and Joe Schmo would have no clue
Fir the Sam era, I’d say 5150, probably my fave from that era, rarely played live, not many outside VH would recognize it

And Al's toms sound HUGE on it. Such a far superior tom sound to the vastly overrated tom sound on FUCK.
I think Sam's lyrics and delivery really fit the vibe of the music. And the ending, with "suck it all up, right down to the last drop" line in tandem with Ed stretching out his fantastic palm scrape harmonic was a perfect way to end the album. I've always liked AAPB, but I think Sucker shouldve been the last track, like it was on the cassette.
