At the risk of sounding too much like a "Me Too" respondent, I would pick Karine's Braver Than We Are and Meat's For Crying Out Loud. (Anything For Love would also have to be tied with both of these choices.) My only quibble with FCOL is that it starts off way too softly. I think the volume could have been a bit louder but I liked the build up to the crescendo. It was just too low in the beginning.
