A feature of the responses to these types of questions is how typical it is that people skirt around the obvious.
Ask a Corfider the best song on "Summertime Dream" and very few will come up with the Wreck.

Sort of what is your favourite number?
Response: 347 :D :D

How is this relevant? Well Waiting For you is the track that rocks on this album. 2nd for me would be Drink Your Glasses Empty and 3rd I'll Prove my Love -(which by the way is the real mans answer to that sycophantically nauseating/ do nothing track otherwise known as "Beautiful"**
(Not words - "I'm telling you your beautiful" but actions" I'll Prove my Love to You "

** Hopes Char does not read this post or he will be excommunicated

:D

Oh 2 afterthoughts: 1 Restless is a close 4th and more importantly to support my view on Waiting For You: I reckon it is no coincidence that Waiting For You is used as the next song in the DVD at Reno after the Wreck. I would argue Gord would want what he felt to be a strong song to follow the Wreck otherwise it would not flow properly and would be a low spot. There is no bigger recommendation of a song than to be played after the Wreck IMO.
