Brian; scroll back up to Tom's post 589 and click on the link. When the player loads, scroll down to number 14, Estimated Prophet. Oh, and I hope you're not listening through laptop speakers; a good stereo or headphones would be helpful.
Of course it depends on what kinds of things you like. I chose this one because of, among other things, the composition. It's all in seven (although some parts are more easily counted in fourteen). I think the composition is wonderful; the different parts blend well. The mood that the song elicits is almost tangible; it puts you in a pretty interesting place. There is spaciousness. Phil's bass line helps set that mood, and moves the song through space and time in a rather unusual but very effective fashion. And Jerry's playing is very nice.
Edit: I thought I would add that perhaps it would help to not just casually listen; don't just play it as background music to whatever else you happen to be doing. Run it through a good sound system, turn the volume up, and turn the lights off, and just listen. Hold no preconceptions. Just be there with the music.
Let us know what you think.
