I love "how long".

What do you mean by underestimated? Not getting to number 1? Then the choice is large  ;)

I think "Old Pigweed" is very underestimated!   Another one is "Everybody Pays".  I would really love to hear these played live.  :)

Although many people don't like "True Love Will Never Fade" I still like that one. I don't know why, but it gives me a special feeling!

Also The Long Highway, Claim to Fame and Lily of The West are great songs! .....I LOVE them! :P

Fieneke, Just like you, I also love TLWNF.  It is one of my favourites from the album and the wonderful arrangement in the show was even better!  I love The Long Highway too!

Agree with Dannyjun "Hand in Hand,"News", "where do you think you are going", "planet of new Orlean",
"Ride across the river"  or how about "Behind with the rent", "a place we used to live"?  Fieneke, "true love never fades" is OK to me.

I like also "Where Do You Think You're Going" and "Nobody's Got The Gun".

A while ago I heard the song of Mark with Emmylou Harris called "Lost On The River"...........ooohhhh that is a great one too, although I don't know where that song comes from. Does one of you know? ::)

Except the ones I already mentioned, the best songs for me are also still "I'm The Fool" and "Shangri-La" :P

Single-Handed Sailor is one of my all-time favorites, but it's rarely discussed.
