So, as a non-Incubus listener...so far...I have been asked to play a couple songs at a party this summer...

Anyone have any feedback as to which 2 or three I should perform?

Which type of Incubus do you want to play? Radio-friendly-pop Incubus or funky-hard-rockers Incubus?

2. SCIENCE
3. Make Yourself
4. Crow Left of the Murder
5. Fungus Amongus
6. Light Grenades

my order of incubus albums with some of my favorite songs noted

1. Morning View (Under My Umbrella, Just A Phase, 11am, Are You In?)

2. A Crow Left Of The Murder: picked over SCIENCE for overall consistency, other than my favorites the rest of SCIENCE is pretty crappy imo. (Sick Sad Little World, Leech, A Crow Left Of The Murder, Here In My Room)

3. SCIENCE (Redefine, Vitamin, A Certain Shade Of Green, Favorite Things)

T-4. All The Rest - I think most the others are for the most part are pretty lame with a few highlights (Take Me To Your Leader, The Warmth, Anna Molly)

Make yourself was a good album, solid, decent, fairly good, but nothing that really sticks out at me as something wonderful or memorable.... I kept it, and i will no doubt once again revisit it for a playing or two, but its not going to reach into the upper echelons of my favourite artists' works...

The problem I have with Incubus is that they really were mining a trail already paved by previous bands, Faith No More being a good example, and without the raw, edgy innovative streak through their music... in that regard I consider them rather "safe"...

I felt it they were always just a solid band overall (regarding everything after S.C.I.E.N.C.E. considering it was the later albums that got Incubus really noticed) and that make yourself, instrumentally, lyrically, and emotionally was just an awesome album. It really hit a good note with me.

Incubus was my favorite band for a looong time, and I still really like them, and I always look forward to hearing new stuff by them. Haven't really listened to them in a while, though.

I would have to say my favorite album is A Crow Left of the Murder, and my least favorite is Light Grenades (though I do like some stuff on there). I only heard that one all the way through maybe once or twice, but didn't really get into it. Maybe I should give it another try.
