Cake
I originally posted this as a comment to Matt's blog, but given the lack of content on here lately (surprise!) I figured it deserved a wider (huh?) audience.
So, here's my ranking of all of the Cake songs I know. This includes all of Fashion Nugget, Prolonging the Magic, and Comfort Eagle; all of Motorcade of Generosity except "You Part the Waters", which my mental iPod couldn't come up with, and "No Phone", the only track I've heard off of Pressure Chief. Conveniently, this totals 50 in all.
Note that these rankings are off the top of my head and probably are highly mutable, given the interchangeability of so many of their songs.
