Best of means best of and this is some of the best of modest mouse.

you're right, and we all know the ol' different strokes/different folks, eye of the beholder, etc., but i imagine any of these would get more votes:

3rd planet
float on
gravity rides everything <--- my personal favorite 00s modest mouse
ocean breathes salty
world at large

i mean, in a faceoff with the radio heads, or idioteque in particular, you're going in against goliath, so i wouldn't expect any of these to win, but i would absolutely vote gravity over idioteque.

Thanks for clarifying the point of view. And I agree with that too.

I just really do think a deeper cut like Blame it on the Tetons or this track are just as good as those tracks you listed, but can also totally agree I'd pick those songs you listed as singles over the ones I mentioned.

Maybe to make things clearer with expectations we say singles instead of songs...? idk... really doesn't matter in the end, but that might an interested limiter. Track needs to be released as a single to qualify.

EDIT: didn't know this, but The Moon & Antarctica didn't drop any singles... d'oh!

totally would have expected something like 3rd planet or gravity rides everything to be one.

Gravity was used in a commercial, which is kind of like a single, no?

Just as a comment: mm is nowhere on Belgian and I suppose even European radio, not with their albums and certainly not with singles: I discovered them via this site.
Just to say that singles are maybe even more of a regional thing than albums.

If float on was chosen I wouldn't have gone for it. Blame it in the Tetons is another I would have voted for after this one over the competition.

Best of means best of and this is some of the best of modest mouse.
