for me:
papa
the end of swindler

Most annoying(aching for my fingers:
San Francisco
White Houses

Funnest to play:
C'est la vie- love it
Wanted- love the fastness

Easiest:
The Wreckage
Devil Dance
And now you look at me
And see what I've known for so long
It's sad that you can be
So lovely, yet so wrong

Easiest: Afterglow [at least I can get through this one w/o mistakes] and The Wreakage [I can get through this one w/o flubs, but it's trickey]

Funnest: ATM [I can feel my adrenaline rushing; can get through w/o mistakes], Wanted [I learned most of the riffs by ear, and this one's appropriate for pounding for your angry days], and HAWBTW [this one's really catchy]

Hardest: Papa. 'Nuff said. White Houses [in both keys, but in different areas]. I can't seem to get my fingers to relax and play as smooth as silk, like VC. Plus the song tires my hands out. Best Behavior [the beggining riffs] b/c I haven't developed suffiecient strength in my left hand to play the L.H. melody, so I quit learning the song. If you're a lefty, then this song is your friend.

Yeah, I never figured out how to teach myself Papa. I play by ear and I get confused. Maybe someday, but I don't play that much anymore.

A lot of people keep saying the end of Swindler. I probably play it a lot easier and different than V does, but it sounds the same and I should write down how I play it because how I do it is not that hard. Kinda fast on the top hand but not impossible by any means. Ok I pretty much play the whole thing with the bottom hand just octaves and the top hand the melody bc it's easier that way. I know V does the whole top hand/bottom hand identical thing... but it sounds almost the same this way.

so... the end begins ordinarily, like the chorus, until the part that goes

F# - F# (or Gb, idk music notation...bottom hand chord, repeated between each top hand succession)
E,G (top hand)
G,A (top hand)
G, B (top hand)
G, G^+E, D, Db, B (top hand)

so that part begins at the middle C area, and after two times I just move my top hand up one octave :) It's really easy!
