From what I have heard, Let It Be tends to be a favorite amongst fans.

My favorite song of theirs is 'Skyway' and the guy from Soul Asylum taunting the cops in The Replacements Stink.

As to the Pistols, Never Mind The Bullocks was a record I heard so many times when I was younger, I never have to hear it again. I still think its a good record, but its somehow become fully assimilated.
