What does everyone think the 2nd single should be?

I agree with the majority here that my favorite song is "End of All Time".. however, having said that one must keep in mind that singles are not necessarily the best, or most beautiful songs on albums. The record companies obviously want to pick singles that can get fit the most radio airplay formats.

I will say that if this was 1975, "No Mistake About it" would be the single and most probably make top 10. It is a crystalline piece of pure bluesy pop.

However, in 2004, in the U.S., Im not sure if any of these masterpieces can get airplay with most stations seemingly devoted to hip hop and electronic music.
