15 Things Only Modest Mouse Fans Will Understand

4. It's Almost Impossible To Have A Favorite Song

Quick, what's your all-time favorite Modest Mouse song? Is it..."Cowboy Dan?" Or does "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes" fit into your groove more? Or maybe you're more into their new stuff and consider "Parting of the Sensory" to be their most obvious work of genius? ...But then doesn't that feel a little wrong not to cite an early gem like "Birds Vs. Worms" as your favorite? Gah! This is like Sophie's Choice. Actually, no, it's harder than Sophie's Choice. I think we can all agree that choosing a Top 5 is a much more realistic exercise here. It's also a real sanity saver, because having to choose just one Modest Mouse track to hold dearest is just cruel.
