Honestly none of them are worth the time and effort it would take to rank them. They could all disappear from the band's discography and I wouldn't even notice. Of the Earth = tallest midget.

Listened to all the songs a couple of times, and that's the list I came up with. Johnny Guitar and Let The Records Play were the two songs that surprised me in a positive way. Better than they used to be to my ears. Pendulum didn't feel right today, and The Fixer feels like it has lost out to time. If the first 15 were one album, maybe with one or two of those songs as b-sides, I think it would have been a pretty decent album. Below that there are several songs I don't really like at all.

This feels about right to me. Mind Your Manners and Force of Nature are the two easy favorites.
