Starting with “No Excuses”, is a great choice. It’s one of the most radio-friendly tracks in the band’s catalog that still features some great guitar and drumwork.

Next, you have to check out “Hollow”, which is a rocking tune written during the band’s second era. It is probably one of the best examples of the harmony between Cantrell and DuVall’s vocal work with exquisite backing by Kinney and Inez.
