"17 Days" and the drum beat from "Lets Go Crazy." "Delirious" comes in at a close second. I am always humming those beats.

That's a goody, though I love his kickdrum stuff like Feel U Up, and Rebirth.

I agree with Nasty Girl. Funkiest song ever.
I must also mention Sugar Walls.

Lest us not forget le funky beat of "Tambourine"

And I don't think Nasty Girl's beat was that tight, cuz I guess when I think of tight beats, I think in terms of shit that's haven't been done or didn't require a drum machine if played on tour. "777-9311" was another gem...the high-hat work on that shit was incredible!

Sheila playing at the start of "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" on the SOTT video was always nice I thought. Simple, but nice.
